I used the FON & med-surg book, content guide outline, practice exams and studygroup101.

You can always determine the focus areas using the exam content guides. They pretty much spell out what you need to know. Best of luck in your studies!

So, without divulging "specifics", are the study guides a good source for determining the depth of certain content? In other words, if the nursing process is stressed thoroughly, will the exam follow the same pattern?

I don't want to violate the college's policies by asking his question.

Hi rhudo, follow the content guide and for a good idea of the actual exam try the practice exams :) you will see.

Thanks, Oneflynurz. I like the smile face. It makes me feel quite reassured. Would you mind if I kept in contact while I journey through this? ?

Specializes in Operating room.

I as studying for this exam and I do find the practice exams to be a helpful study tool but I feel for this exam I will have to do alot of refresher work. But all these different developmental theorys are getting on my nerves. Just want to be done with this exam and to be on to the next. Maybe I should skip this one and go on to the next. I have the worlds worst memory I have to read something like 3 times to learn it. I dont like memorization.
