How did you do on the EC practice exams?

I think you answered your own question ...

I need to move on with this......

I think you're going to have to force yourself to NOT reschedule again! Don't let a test scare you. You can do this!

I am really worried about all of the meds, I just can't get the chemo drugs straight in my head, and I second guess myself on the cardiac drugs. I got a 60 on form A , and a 78 on form B. I just need to build up my confidence more than anything. That is the one thing I have had on each of my prior test! And scored well with!

:wtosts: It seems stress is your problem more than the content. You just need the basics of the chemo drugs and the basics of cardiac drugs etc. Lunah is right though, you need to not postpone it anymore. There are some great sticky threads on pharmacology on the Nursing Students section at this web site. I used them to study and even though I still don't know my chemo perfectly, I passed NC4. :idea: I hope this helps.:hpygrp:

Those grades have you passing high.

Take the sucker and move on.

Trust me your ready! I have never made a 78 on any of the practice exam and passed that test. If I remember they don't get very specific with the drugs. Just know the side effects for the various categories of drugs if they even get that specific. Take the test, you'll do fine.

I think you should just get it out of the way. From what people say on this board, scoring in the 70s is good.

BEST OF LUCK!!

I am under the new curriculum but I did take that test content and passed. This was suppose to be MY hardest test but apparently there was another one that was harder haha. Anyway, I got 60's on my practice exams for that test and I passed. I know there were meds on that test but it wasn't excessive like other exams (or at lest it wasn't for me). I think you are ready and you need to just do it. You WILL pass!
