My name is Marie Dee Cline. I'm a foreign-nurse residing here Ohio. I took my board exam last July 28, 2008. Sad to say I finished the test with 75Questions but didn't made it. I am very devasted. I haven't reapplied for the boards yet, since I had to recuperate (i don't know if that's the right spelling). Well finally, I am just trying to get back in track here again. I sincerely need help or any suggestions to help me prepare even more bolder and better for my 2nd time, and hopefully that'll be my 2nd and last take.
I was enrolled last time for kaplan and ati but unfornately like I said I wasn't really that ready nor prepared I guess. It was not like I was expecting to pass my first take..I was actually hesitant to take it my my instructors said that I was ready since my practice score have been steady and up and the classes was done.. The truth was, when I took the exam it was though I was totally clueless, my mind just went on blank. Totally blank! It was awful.
I surely do hope this time around I will be more proficient esp. on my nursing content and critical skills on answering board questions which I totally lack! To be honest, even if I'm ashamed to say this, but I'll say it anyway, my performace evaluation states that I was below the passing standard on 6 categories and 2 categories states near the passing standard. Like I said, shameful and awful...totally dissapointing. I was totally depressed..and it took a while for me to regain myself, my strength, and my determination to get back studying and try to pass this test again one more time.
Now, I'm ready to fight, study hard, prepare even more than I did. I truly want to be ready this time around.
Could anybody pls. help me out...Could anybody help me establish an effective study plan or something or any suggestion on a reference material. I truly need help...anything! I'd truly appreciate it.
I would really love and would like to hear from anybody hear and have your input. Please help me.
yes it s that. You have to get 15posts in the forum and do the first tip so it means take the quizz at the end of the chapiter. if you have 75% do another one otherwise read the course and do again the questions. After you are done with that and get your 15posts you can send to suzanne a pm and ask her for her 2nd tip. She send it two times per month 1st and 15th if i remember correctly what she told me.
