Hey all,

I could use a little encouragement, as I am taking the NCC WHNP exam on Monday the 26th. Unfortunately this is going to be my second attempt at this exam. I took the NCC exam in December of 2009, having finished my MSN in September of 2009. I did terrible on the first attempt, and it was primarily my fault for not being prepared for it. Of course, I have discovered that the program I went to for my WHNP MSN had not updated any of their power points or data since 2006, and a significant amount of information was outdated at the time I took the exam.

So, I have been utilizing the Fitzgerald online seminar program to review. I also purchased the practice exam that NCC suggest through another company.

I am really just nervous because I am not the best health care certification test taker. I know the material, and I can use it in real life practice, but applying the knowledge to the test world is not easy for me. This of course has not been improving to some extent, as I am moving further away from the academic mindset and back into the practitioner mindset.

Any tips, advice, or encouragement would be greatly appreciated!
