Took my exam today, and yes it is difficult I thought., they certainly do give you enough time to take the exam but you really need to know your diagnosis, outcomes and treatments...phew glad it is over and excited that I passed.

Do you have to take it before you work in a critial care unit or something? I am a NICU unit secretary (in nursing school and working on flipping to the other side!) and am just curious. :penguin:
