I just took the exam last month and passed. Was also very nervous! Questions are much more straight forward than NCLEX. Best prep is getting the review question and answer book from their site. It is comprehensive and gives a good indication of what to expect on the exam. good luck!

Congratulations! I have found that I have learned much more since nursing school than I did while in nursing school. Outside of on the job learning, I have sought out opportunities for continued growth. I love the Academy of Medical Surgical Nurses...excellent publications and great conferences. I also have bought a number of seminars from PESI healthcare, and Med-Ed is good as well. Find a journal to subscribe to...I have tried Nursing 2014 and Nursing Made Incredibly Easy. Best of luck...be patient with yourself as you grow into your new role.

Yup- It has happened to me and to a number of my fellow classmates, as many of us are second (or third) career students. It is a formality - don't stress too much. My initial letter (acutally there was a space for response on my school's form) addressed my desire to enter the nursing field, addressed my grades for prereqs at the same school and my acceptance into this highly competitive program. I stressed the difficulty in excelling in nursing school and the need for financial support in order to be successful. Although I was not eligible for pell grants due to my previous degree, I was awarded student loans. I have not heard of anyone being denied - just go through the process... I have to appeal each year and can't withdraw from or fail a class in order to remain eligible for aid. Hope this helps- good luck!

I would really appreciate a copy as well from anyone who has already received it - hate to make more work for the original poster who generously offered to share this resource - thank you!! Email: [email protected]
