loveleyday

thanks for the replies and all the helpful tips. being the only charge nurse in the whole facility, i know everything will be on me.

i've never gone through the experience of being surveyed. any tips and advice? what kind of questions do they ask? will they expect everything to be perfect? i have 40 to 45 patients (depending on census) and i do everything from med pass to wound treatments. just thinking about it makes me sick to my stomach.:uhoh21:

they said 13 business day, sure enough on the 14th day after i took my test, my result came in the mail. i know waiting is hard, just hang in there, do something fun to keep your mind occupied. GOOD LUCK!!

:balloons: congratulations:balloons:

I used suzanne's study guide, i did 100 q's daily for about 2 hours and about 10 hours browsing and reading allnurses posts , i passed!

good luck you 2!

it sounds so much like my exam, i had a bunch of select all that apply, a lot of infection control, tons of pharm, couple on diets, proper positioning, lab values, prioritization, i finished with 85 questions (thank goodness) altho i was asking for more questions when it shut off because i felt like i didnt knew any of the answers. Waiting is the hardest part, esp. here in CA, i had to wait over 2 weeks to get my result. Good Luck to you!!!

Good Luck on your exam AmyD, don't forget to get a good night sleep and to pray for God's blessing, i'm rooting for you. YOU CAN DO IT!!

I PASSED, i'm so happy! i didn't sleep a wink the night before my exam, i guess i was too anxious and nervous... and i was scheduled at 1 o'clock in the afternoon *yikes*, i was awake for more than 24 hours before taking the test, i was so afraid of dozing off while taking the test, i drank so much coffee i had to use the bathroom 6 times prior to sitting for the test, and then i was worried that i'd have to go again while testing, whew what a horrible experience. i thought for sure i'd fail but thanks to miss suzanne's study guide, i studied saunders chapter tests, and 100 q's daily, i passed!! good luck to those who will be taking it and make sure to get a good night sleep!
