Any tips on how to prep for interview and exam portion?

Last year when I interviewed I felt like I spent too much time worrying about the things I don't know instead of perfecting what I do know. The questions are broad but they acknowledged I may not know some of them.  I'd say I got about 70-80% of them right.  I bombed the quiz last year (12/20) and I was still waitlisted but I can't speak to how heavily it's weighted now.Â

I interviews last week and the emotional questions are very generalized. I would go back to your CCRN book and look over general topics from each chapter. That's what they tested me on.Â

When I got the interview invite there were multiple people listed and I interviewed with 2 of them, 1 per session, the clinical questions were very generalized and correlated with the CCRN study guide - and the EI questions were situational. I just answered as honestly as possible!Â
