Has anyone taken either of these exams through dantes? I have to take both and am wondering how to study for them and where to get the study material. Thanks! Advice appreciated!!:redbeathe Christine

Well, it was not easy at all, failed 2 PCS and still managed to pass. I studied for 4 months and took an online workshop and it was still tough. I suggest a carepanning workshop, this helped me a lot and using a grid/memorize mnemonics if you can--mu...

what happens if we are removing sutures and one os very tough and may have not come all the way out? Should you justmonitor for s/s of infection? MD is aware, but what happens when a suture gets left behind with the knot cut off?? Never had this happ...

I am just now realizing how FAR a drive I have ahead of me--- 5.5 hrs. As Opposed to Albany which is only 3.5 hrs. Should I decline my date and ask for Albany only? Not sure I want to drive that far alone, but I don't want anyone to go with me. Maybe...

took about a week or so. Keep on them with emails

Elektra, is anyone going out there with you? I'mnot sure I want anyone there with me, I would rather just bring my books, and my music and relax (or at least try)

Thanks Elektra, testing 2 weeks after you!! I think fi you did Sherri's workshop you are going to do just fine. I am doing her online workshop. Great stuff. I'm confident the amount of time I have and using a workshop, skills kit, I will pass. I know...

Elektra, I gotalbany as well...but not till 9/28,my ready date was 8/24..I refused Syracuse for 8/24

non dissolvable..I wonder if I could use a tweezers fromthe kit and try to fish it out?

Holding out for Utica now too--haha I just want a date--I have to plan time off etc!

Joanna when did you apply? I also added Utica, they gave me this same weekend but in Syracuse and there is a ton of stuff going on out there that weekend so I declined. Hoping to get Utica, but that this point I could care less. Just want to know...W...

Thanks for posting! (I read it in facebook too :redbeathe) SOOOOOOO happy for you cathy!!! You made me consider Utica to test too....Albany seems to be booked up and I declined Syracuse due to all the funcions going on there with the fair and college...

I have heard good things about Utica,maybe I should consider going there. Is the hospital big? How many of you passed there? I ahve been holding out for Albany because it'sso close.

CONGRATS!!!!:cheers:

I cancelled by Syracuse date and am holding out for Albany--hope to hear by next week...I just hope the date isn't really far away. I would like to take the board before Christmas--haha

I won'tmid the drive if that's all they have,I'll have to find another hotel then. I just want to see if they have that same weekend at Albany or even the weekend after that. Guess when I filled out my app I should have JUST put albany:(

Oh an NO discounted rooms....if I paid normal rate it's 250.00 per night--omg..and I need 3 nights. I hate to decline, but I think I have to.

hahaha well, I just called to book my room and NONE are available in Syracuse with a discounted rate. I can't afford to pay the actual rate,plus gas and rental car to drive out....I'm holding out for Albany:uhoh3: I think it's the right thing to do. ...
