Failed ANCC

Disheartened to say the least! I took the ANCC FNP exam Saturday and failed by ten points. I was surprised the exam had very limited clinical questions. Most of the exam was on leadership and management as well as tons of research questions. I was also shocked that I had multiple questions that required not just one correct answer choice but "pick the best 2 or 3 correct response-type questions!" I just signed up to take the AANP now and have to await a test authorization. I have a job that is waiting for me to pass this thing so please say a prayer for me! Good luck to those taking the exam.

I just graduated from the Medical University of South Carolina where I completed the post BSN program (I was awarded both a MSN and a DNP). I live in Atlanta but only had to travel to campus in Charleston once a semester. I chose family nurse practitioner track. :) Thank you for the well wishes. :)
