Just passed chronicity.....I made a C, which is disappointing. I felt so sick after it...I made an 83 on practice test B & felt really confident going into it. Atleast I passed I guess, now I can just focus on the next one. Only 3 more exams to go!!!!

Congratulations on passing! My chronicity exam is scheduled for next Sunday.

Thanks everyone for the cOngrats. I'm glad to be moving on....crazy as it sounds, I felt that LS2 was easier to study for. As long as you know everything about the diseases, you will prob be ok. Not like hs, transition, & chronicity, where to me there is a lot of gray area. @bostonnurse - LS2 wasn't terrible, all the psych stuff was scary at first, but other than learninh the meds I didn't go too far into it. Just seems to me like 80% of the time the answer is going to be 1) what is promoting safety or 2) the therapeutic choice, with safety always being a #1 choice. I really focused on learning the ins & outs of the metabolic & regulatory diseases.....you def need to know the labs that go with each disease (not necessarily the ranges, but more so hypercalcemia, hypercalcemia, etc) --that's what got confusing for me! I made a B. good luck!!
