Jan 7, 201511 yr The problem lies where they are holding examinations with 2 takes all the while the exam is going through revisions. They should at least test it until a stable one comes out before making us pay for it
Jan 7, 201511 yr Yeah the only ones I have heard from about eliminating the critical questions is my recruiting company, but when in every correspondence I have with the NMC they still mention the critical q's. SO frustrating.
Jan 7, 201511 yr Oh man. Now I am feeling frightened by all the posts that I have read. :/ I am scheduled for 2 final interviews for 2 possible employers (one this January) and they want me to take the NMC test right after the final interview(s). I'm ecstatic and my loved ones are delighted as I am inching closer to my dream. But it seems like I'll be hitting a wall of disappointment as the NMC test is shaping up to be monkey business after all. :/
Jan 8, 201511 yr Author by the way, anybody here able to retake? or still having problems booking the retake? ty!
Jan 8, 201511 yr im from the philippines and i was planning to take the cbt this jan. but upon reading this blog im not sure anymore..i was just about to book an exam for this then i happened to pass by this feed. i am from the phils too and good to know many of us are still trying, and i think after reading all your comments i will have to postpone my target date to make more time for reviewing the blueprint and all those links. i do have a question regarding the exam, is it more of a memorization-type of exam or will just understanding the context work?
Jan 8, 201511 yr continental travel nurse recommended a book to study - unfortunately it was recommended to me after i took the test. it's called royal marsden hospital manual for clinical nursing procedures. i bought it and it actually has word for word some of the questions from the test.
Jan 8, 201511 yr i took the exam recently and the critical questions were not marked. In my case, the blueprint was very helpful for almost all questions/topics can be found there.
Anybody here who took the Pearsons Vue NMC exam? How was it? TY!
