I have a question. I am worried sick about a situation. I counted narcotics with the night nurse and they were correct, then I work a 12 hr shift. I have a pt who takes a narcotic routinely. I sign the narc book before I pull the pill, so I don't for...

Try Petersons.com. 3 tests, 180 questions each, 5 hours to complete each test, costs $25.00 and was helpful to me. I used Kaplans 2009 Strategies, Q bank and one of the Petersons tests. Make sure you have time to sit for the test (at least 2 hours). ...

Very true that some people take time off for whatever reason. It is easy to forget so much if you aren't into it everyday. Everyone in my clinical group pretty much ran to take it. Within 5 weeks they had all taken the test except me because my daugh...

Yes I did pass it the first time but would have bet money that I failed it. I did not get any calculations - those I love! Peds, infection control, loads of drugs. I have heard that so many of the best nurses around did not pass the first time. It is...

I would have changed my date at the end too but didn't only because I had other obligations to tend to. Review your basics and go for it! you will feel released once this is over. I don't think anyone truly feels ready since it is a mystery regarding...

I think anyone who has taken the test understands what you are going through. If things you are beginning to get things confused and everything is running together, then stop for a day or 2, review, then go for it. After all, your chances of passing ...
