Last minute TNCC. Frustrated. Venting.

Specialties Emergency

Updated:   Published

I actually work on a burn unit but put this here because it seems like the most relevant forum that actually gets the occasional traffic.

I was told on Friday by my nurse educator that I would be taking TNCC this Monday. (She forgot to enroll me in the class.) I was handed the textbook, as well as some useless study guide notes, and the pre-test. The lady who gave me the textbook explicitly said "I don't think you're going to have enough time to study for the test."

I worked Friday night, didn't have any time to study because I had a patient who was violently detoxing, and...yeah...

I'm an incredibly fast read and study well...but I feel like crying. I've been doing the pretest as well as practice questions and a lot of them are ABC oriented. Which is nice. Some are even relevant to burn nursing, which is even nicer.

But I haven't even LOOKED over the practical portion of the exam. Most people get nearly a month to study and read through the textbook. I am just so frustrated right now. My nurse educator totally blew me off when I asked if I could be scheduled into a later class. I'm about 85% certain that I'm going to fail.

Anyway. Does anyone have any experience with TNCC? Any advice? I did a search but didn't get much on AN at least.

again, I am not asking for the test, I know there are legal legit study guides that people have used and that works better for me was just hoping someone can show me how to get one.

oh and my test got pushed back because of budget, yeah!!!!
