Failed ancc :(

Published

So I failed the ancc back in December and have been so discouraged I can't get the courage to reapply. I failed by 3 points and the area I did the worst in was the nursing professionalism.

A little background history. I am a Canadian RN who did my masters/fnp in Buffalo, NY. My program didn't cover much billing, coding, culture and briefly touched on some ethics during my schooling.

As a Canadian nurse, I am so lost especially in the billing coding and culture. I have no idea where to look for those things to study.

I have Fitzgerald and Leik's book and and am purchasing Fitzgerald's online course as there are no live courses near me.

Does anyone have any recommendations for me?

Thank you!

Fitzgerald cds and online component covered those topics well.I think Leik's book did a better job and the study hints in the books were very helpful in my opinion. I agree the non clinical questions were the trickiest. I can understand your confidence may be dampen but Don't be discouraged jump back in there,You've come to far. Wish you the best of luck!

Apply for AANPCP. When I took the exam they only have around 3-5 non-clinical questions. Good luck.
