Hi! I searched CDONA and your name popped up in a feed and you're still an active member so I really need some guidance! I just registered for my CDONA and I am freaking out big time! I have so many questions about how to study outside of the field guide I purchased. When and where is it offered? The NADONA website is giving me very little to go on and now I'm worried I gave them $350 for nothing! Help if you can!
Hi. I didn’t use a study guide. I found the test remarkably easy, but I’d been a DNS for 5 years and had been in the business forever. The only tricky questions that I can remember had to do with labor laws. I went by what I knew from the laws in Massachusetts- which favor the employee. Much if it is common sense and I hate to say getting certified didn’t add anything except extra initials.
Good luck with it.
