First things first,  Happy School Nurses Day to you all!!!! I hope you are recognized!!

Now Imma do a little bragging, seems appropriate on School Nurses Day... 

I passed the certification exam yesterday!.

Took it in March, waited longer for this than my state boards in 1983!!!

If you are eligible, I encourage you  take on this challenge. The journey is worth it.

Specializes in pediatrics, school nursing.

Congratulations!!

I'm booked to take it on July 9th! The next Online Study Group starts next week, 5/21. I haven't taken a test since 2012 or studied for anything since PEARS in 2015, so I'm nervous, but I have to do it now or I risk being ousted from my district!

No pressure there! I got a lot out of the group on the NASN website, practiced test taking strategies, reviewed NASN position statements, got the review book and did the practice tests. Worth the $$$! Good Luck!

I think one of the most helpful things I did was practice how to read questions.  Join the group on the NASN website, get the review book and do the tests. You will get a feel for the exam format (200 ?s)
