Failed Essentials: Health Differences.....NC2

Published

just cmae back from taking essentials of nursing care: health Differences.....received a D....I felt pretty confident walking into the exam, but guess not. Does anyone know how the failure/retest policy works for nursing exams? and I am under the new plan of $1600 for the first year which covers all exmas...does anyone know if I have to pay for the retest?

Hmmm ... not sure how that'll work under the new payment structure! You should call and ask. I don't see it anywhere in the brochure or catalog, besides where it says you can only take an exam four times before you're out of the program. Sorry you didn't pass! :( Did you take the EC practice exams?

I did take the practice exams.....I did the first 1 before actually studying to see where I stood and got a 45%, after studying for about 2wks...got a 63% and, focused on the areas I did bad on.....I don't know that happened, I felt very confident taking the test, but I guess I was wrong

What did you use as your study source? Textbooks, notes?

You should not have to pay to retake it under the ADN plan. But you will have to wait 60 days. Move on to the next test and come back to it. I failed that test too. Don't feel bad.

Get involved with the material for your next exam and you will start to feel better. A lot of students have the unfortunate experience of failing one or more of the exams, but go on to succeed. You can too. Good luck.
