My friend just enrolled in NCSBN. He let me access to his profile for me to see how it is. I noticed that Majority of the topic is just online, it is not explaining the topic very well.. The q and a is awesome but not sure about the review..here is the sample topicMaternal Physical ChangesMenses ceasesBraxton-Hicks contractionsBreast changes: areola and nipples darken, breast tissue grows larger and colostrums is producedBlood volume, stroke volume and cardiac output increases to meet demand of enlarging uterus and fetal oxygenationEnlargement of uterus causes urinary frequencyAs pregnancy progresses, body retains more water, resulting in dependent edemaMelasma- brownish "mask of pregnancy" (formerly called chloasma)see what i mean. no explanation.. or maybe i just don't know how to use it.. 0 Likes

Jazzy_nurse_SF Oct 21, 2010 How did the NCSBN 3-week course turn out for you? I am preparing to retake my exam and thinking of registering for it. I don't have a cd drive in my notebook so I want to practice questions online. Any feedback on it?? 0 Likes

Any feedback on it??there's only a 20-item post test every chapter. i guess it isn't enough for practice doing questions. but they have a diagnostic test/pre test for about like 150 questions? from what i remember :) 0 Likes
