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.
