Does anyone have any pointers for NC4. I am testing on June 23 and still am not sure if I am focusing on the right stuff. And I am following the EC content guide . Any tips?

Did you take the EC practice exams? Those are great indicators of test-readiness, as well as wonderful study tools!
Not yet, I plan to take form A Monday and then using the rest of the week to focus on my weak spots. And taking form B on Friday, and will have the weekend to review and refresh. I'm not sure what my problem is with this test, I cannot stay focused. But, taking a break is not an option right now, so I am trying to push through.
I think take Form A will be really helpful in terms of seeing where you stand! Good plan. :)

It really helped me to go over the Anatomy and Physiology of the heart and resp. systems again as I studied. I also asked around at work for some RNs I trusted to help me. Sometimes seeing what the effects of an ejection fraction of 25% is better for your understanding than just reading about it. Or seeing pts. on a vent helped me with my understanding. ( just 2 examples ) Take the practice test too. Your exam will be similar and it will help you focus your studies.
