oh can anybody tell me what is the difference between coaching, mentoring and precepting... I had at least 5 questions on my old exam and still cant find info to help me distinguish between each Rosanna

Hello all!! I just realized I oringinally started this thread in March, and here we are in October and I am just retaking my exam. I failed the first time and have put off the exam till now. I have done the teleconference class, NP-Fitzgerald book, and snoring my way to reading Hamric/Spross (is it me or is that book horrible to get through?) Has anyone taken the "new" exam. I am wondering how different is it from the old. The old exam, to me was tricky, some questions I had no idea what they were asking, and others, I could not reach far enough into my brain from undergrad to come up with the answer. My one med question I did not know the trade name so I got it wrong Looking at the new blueprint seems like its more of the CNS role and characteristics, even though the teleconfrence course has 6 lessons on diseases by system.... not sure what is going on with that... any idea would be great! I am taking it on Tuesday and debating if I should reschedule to get more study time in. have a good weekend :) Ill be behind a book

I feel your pain! I am still upset about my results... can you send send me your email so we can talk about the exam? Rose

oh and CONGRATS!!!! VERY HAPPY FOR YOU !!! :yeah:

thank you for your reply! I found out that I will be taking the new CNS exam and have to wait 60 days, so I have a completely different course of action now. I did use the mometrix, but only read through it twice, I am wondering if it will be available for the new CNS exam, the blueprint is completely different, it resembles the NP exam, looks like more patho, disease process, and pharm. The CNS exam I took had only 1 med question, and 1 disease process (leukemia) everything else was so vague, and I did not understand what it was asking... I know now to take practice tests. According to the ANCC there is only one review course for the new exam, its a teleconference course, so I will do that and stick to the blue print.. thanks again

Hello all. I completed my MSN program in december, and sat for the Adult CNS exam yesterday... and i FAILED! such an embarrassment, humiliation, failure, I was so sure of myself and this test... everyone I talked to said not to worry, no need to really study. I do not know what went wrong, some of the questions were so vague, I could not even eliminate to the top 2 choices.... I did not do the online review course, regretting it now, all I did was read through a book I bought online and some material from my MSN program... I scored low in research, which boggles my mind since i was a research assistant and published in a few journals!! so now i am having no luck contacting the ANCC regarding the new test blueprint. not to sure which test I have to take now! anyone else in this desperate situation??? the test blueprint changes on April 5, 2011.... oh gosh, tears are starting again :crying2: so disappointed and lost right now

there are plenty of apts around the area, UT is in the medical center so you can get as close as walking distance...i graduated from ut in 05 and still live and work in the area as an RN....depends on your budget, and ask for student/medical field discounts....
