hi, forumjunkie, you and me both.

Thanks for your reply CarminaRN, you have a point there. I was just wondering what will happen if you passed the test but you're not ready to take Part B? I have read something like you can take the clinical practice module.. uhmm not sure what this means. Is it the education module?

you can choose to take the clinical module instead of the test B. its 160 hours of clinical placement in a hospital/aged care facility. where you will be guided and assessed by a preceptor on your nursing skills. you will be designated as student RN but expected to show competence in practice as beginning practitioner.

I just phoned an agency and they are offering a comprehensive review for part A that will last for 3 months but it cost 15K. I'm still considering just buying the recommended books for CAS than to review in a review center. However, this agency is promising an employer after passing the exams, they said they have a contact or connection in Queensland. I dunno if its true or not.

hi would youo kindly pm me the name of the agency? thanks :)

Hi Valentine! So you already passed the Part A? How about the Part B? Are those four books enough or do I need additional sources?
