   I passed! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. I was quite nervous and I'm just glad it is over and the studying that had overtaken my life is complete!!!

2. Failed AANP today

   ebkayaker replied to ebkayaker's topic in NP Students

   Sorry about the mix-up with the email. I just clicked on the little envelope at the top of the page and it allowed me to email you. I'll have to see if I have some setting blocked or something. Thanks for the info. I was a little frustrated at the in...

3. Failed AANP today

   Not yet, I have my exam on Monday. Getting to the "very stressed" stage of my studies. I know the best thing to do is relax but that is much easier said than done at this point.

4. Failed AANP today

   ebkayaker replied to ebkayaker's topic in NP Students

   By my math, if there are 135 questions worth a total of 800 points, each one (on average) is worth anywhere from 4-6 points. Looks like we were both only just a FEW questions away!!!! As I've said, on one hand encouraging but on another very frustrat...

   When I received the paperwork I found out I was 13 points away from passing, encouraging for next time but still frustrating I was THAT close and still have to go through the whole process over again!!!

6. Failed AANP today

   ebkayaker replied to ebkayaker's topic in NP Students

   I mailed all my info in 2 days later, I did not wait for the letter in the mail (came about 10 days after taking my test). I would also say from my experience, don't worry about what "areas" your CEs are in, as long as you do the required amount, you...

7. Failed AANP today

   One more thing, for those wanting to retest ASAP through AANP, I did all my CEs the very next day and mailed them off to AANP. I received my authorization number approximately 3-3.5 weeks later so it is possible to retest fairly quick if that is your...

8. Failed AANP today

   ebkayaker replied to ebkayaker's topic in NP Students

   After clearing my head a little I think my biggest mistake, or expectation, was that there would be more questions on the more common disorders such as diabetes, chf, pneumonia, asthma, etc. Overall I felt they did not give more questions to the comm...

9. Failed AANP today

   ebkayaker replied to ebkayaker's topic in NP Students

   I figured it may be easier to stick with the same test once you've taken it once with the hope that I have a small advantage because I've already seen it once. At least I have some type of idea of what they are looking for. Some of the questions seem...

10. Failed AANP today

    ebkayaker posted a topic in NP Students

    So I just failed my AANP cert. exam today. I am wanting to get the CE's done ASAP and reapply as soon as I can. When I looked on the AANP website, it said the CE's have to be done in your area of weakness, did everybody else wait for that letter (say...

11. I'm a new nurse who needs help

    ebkayaker replied to ebkayaker's topic in General Nursing

    That is why I love this forum. Thank you very much for your input. I did not get that kind of explanation anywhere I looked online (I don't know where I put my drug book so I couldn't look it up). Thanks again.

12. I'm a new nurse who needs help

    ebkayaker posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've been working in the ICU for about 3 weeks (just out of nursing school) and I had a patient today who had a GI bleed and hepatic encepalopathy. Pt. was getting Sandostatin and the only effects I have found for that med is that it inhibits growth ...

13. California Results

    ebkayaker replied to ebkayaker's topic in NCLEX

    So I haven't seen any results yet. I took the test on Wednesday. I have all of my stuff in to the board. You have really heard of people not seeing their name on the website for up to a week?? I sure hope so because I am feeling a little discouraged....

14. California Results

    ebkayaker replied to ebkayaker's topic in NCLEX

    I don't know what the board's policy is about when they get the results on the net. I've heard of people getting their results online in a couple days and I've heard of it taking a week to see your name online. I would think it is not safe to say you...

15. waiting is going to drive me insane..

    ebkayaker replied to luv2shop19mall's topic in NCLEX

    I just took the test yesterday, stopped at 85 so I'm a little nervous because I am scared I didn't do well enough to stop that early!!! I agree, the waiting is KILLING ME!!!!!!!
