NBCSN

I took it three years ago. I had their book and I read and made notecards. There was one on-line practice test that was $50 (I think) - I took it, made an 80, and was WAAAAY overconfident. Unfortunately NASN does not have a lot of practice questions available. You can check their on-linebookstore.

I took mine over the summer and pushed the test date back to the very last opportunity. Don't be like me. Get a study plan together, and work your plan. I did pass (but it was difficult because I did not maximize my study options).

I keep debating. I need to take it. I just need to force myself to register and then I know I can get in the zone for it.

My previous boss did tell me they'd reimburse me for the exam if I passed - need to confirm with my current boss that they would still do that. (They did reimburse me for my MTEL when I passed that to get certified by the department of education.)

There are study groups on NASN, I'm following them all the time but just haven't committed financially...yet...

I debate doing it eventually, but my state awards a CSN with grad school, so it's just something I want to do for my own ego / benchmark. Once I'm done the next 45 credits of grad school I need to do to max out the salary chart, I'll see if there is any money left to do that.
