Dana, RN

Ladies, I literally just signed up to take the exam in April, 2017. My employer sent me 3 books to review but nothing else. The books are horrible. Seriously. I've been doing case management for years and I'm really struggling with the information. I am looking for more condensed study material. These books are ridiculously thick too. Not sounding like I'm whining, I know you're all in same boat or were. I am a HORRIBLE test taker. I took a prep exam before my RN boards (HURST REVIEW) which was amazing and am looking for something similar. I see there is one via CCM website in Dallas, TX for 2 days. It's like $600 but that's a lot of money. If I knew it would help me pass, I'd go in a heartbeat. I feel like I just am missing out on asking someone whom has taken the exam, what to really focus on, what books, what helped you succeed? It seems as though CCM's don't share much. I'm not asking you to "cheat" just point me in the direction of what book you feel was most helpful. Thanks in advance!!!!

I don't believe so, not without a BSN or MSN in another field. I looked into this when I was a LPN. Truthfully, I know as much as I do now that I did as an LPN. :-) Go back though, so worth it. You're doing the same as an RN so get compensated for it gf!

I am a HORRIBLE test taker. My employer has provided me with 3 books to read but I'd really like to talk to someone that has taken the test to see truly what book I should focus on. If you have any advise, please help!!!!! I'm registered to take in April, 2017. Just registered tonight. Many Thanks!!!! I also considered flying to Dallas for the 2 day workshop but it's SO expensive!!!!! If I knew it would really help me, I'd do it in a heartbeat.
