FCCS Course experience?

[allysg08]

I’ve been an ambulatory care nurse for almost a year now, however my true passion is critical care nursing and it has been disheartening to not have experience in that with my current job. I’ve signed up to take the FCCS course in order to supplement my lack of critical care experience, and allow me to learn and feel more comfortable with topics I feel I’ve already forgotten since nursing school. Despite being a very young nurse with little experience, the director of the course told me she believes it’ll be a great talking point in future CC nurse interviews, and that as long as I study the text and pay attention in class, I’ll pass the post test. However, I’m still nervous!

has anyone taken the FCCS course and know what to expect? I’m very worried about this post-test and the course itself being as I’ll probably be the most inexperienced person there. If you fail the post test, do you just not pass the course and that’s that?
