One of my teachers told me this last semester but she did not give us a date when it was going to happen

The questions will be changing, but the preparation for the exam will still be the same. If you are prepared well for the exam, then you will not even notice any changes. There will be an increase in a decimal point as to the passing level for the exam.

Remember that all that take this exam will get 50% correct and 50% incorrect. Whether or not that you pass is dependent on the level of questions that you are getting correct.

Patients in hospitals in the US have gotten sicker over the years as treatments change. Only the sicker ones stay in the hospital, others go home much sooner. So since the acuity of the patient population has increased, the nurse is responsible for more information and what to do with it.

And yes, the changes will appear next month.

Do you have to retake it after you take it the first time. It took my friend 3x to pass it she had to buy a program to help her study she spent like $300 as if nursing school wasnt already expensive
