Hello everyone, gotta a question for Texas students

[PurpleMyst]

Hi everyone, although I've been lurking and learning this is my first post.

I'm going back to college after a 20 year absence and planning on a nursing career. I've been doing a lot of reading and research so that I can prepare myself for the hard work ahead.

While I was researching I went to the Texas BON website and I read that they have implemented or are about to implement a new exam which they call the Texas Nursing Jurisprudence Exam (NJE). They state that all applicants for licensure will also have to take the NJE starting September of 2008. I wondered if anyone was aware of this and if so, are they implementing this exam in any other state?

Thanks,

PurpleMyst

Took the exam October and passed it. Im foreign graduate nurse and i really studied the Nursing acts and rules and regulations. You can print out those from Texas BON website. Just read it, and understand it. the exam is taken at your home personal computer, it is open book. still, you need to read and understand the rules. Most of the questions are situational and you cant find the answer directly in the book unless you understand it.
