more than 3 months ago, i received a letter from crnbc saying that i should undergo sec assessment at kwantlen. like most of other iens here, i didn't really know what to do as i have no idea what sec was. i've read almost all the threads about sec and still felt like i needed to know more. i've read the ien and sec fact sheets over and over and i still wanted moooore information. until the day of the assessment came and i still am clueless as to what i should expect.
day 1 passed and i went home feeling brain-drained. i felt like the written exam drained every piece of nursing knowledge there was in my brain, maybe because i havent studied enough and it's been years since i read a medical book. then day 2 came and i was given a hypothetical patient in a hypothetical situation. my mind went blank for a few moments but i tried to do the best i can. i just wanted to get this over with.
almost 2 months have passed and i still havent heard from crnbc. i dont know if i did good or bad. i just wanna know how i did so i can move on and make plans on whether i should pursue my dream of becoming a nurse here or just stay home with my beautiful daughter.
