Awesome and congratulations!! You have given some great advice on how and what to study for this exam with thorough detail, thank you for that!

Hi urbanrn328, I have failed the aanp twice and would love some input on how to study for the ancc. I don't know how to contact you...can you send me an email or I can share my email address with you? [email protected] Thank you for your help!

I had a patient tonite come in for surgery and she just found out from recent lab results that she has contracted HIV. She was crying and nervous all at the same time. She admits that she was scared to tell her boyfriend who she's been with for a few years and she feels really loves her. After recovering her, she started talking about how she was still in shock over the results and she asks me how should she confront this to her boyfriend? I was quite taken back by the question and didn't expect her to ask me for advice, but at the same time the nurse advocate and psychology 101 in me opened my mind and made me feel responsible for giving this young lady and honest answer. I told her to communicate this to her boyfriend ASAP, but at the right time. Certain things can be overbearing as this situation is and he may be too emotional to handle this if its not told at the right time and only she knows what that time is. He needs to be checked out right away to protect himself and others if he does decide to end the relationship. I also ask her if she had any clue of who she could have contracted this from and she wasn't sure. Was I appropiate? Should I have said more? :smackingf

Thanks fyrace, I think I will just go to the campus and learn it in the classroom.

Congrats Winterbot428! I will be studying for the CCRN soon as well. What material did you use to study for the test?

Thank you missnurse01! For this being my first experience doing online classes, I find the majority of my courses overall convenient and manageable. But an online science courses scare me and I hear from many students that the online was easier. I don't know, I think my best bet is to stick to the classroom :)

I am finishing my RN-BSN degree next semester and applying for CRNA next year. I haven't had chemistry in almost 10 years, and is questioning going to the campus to take this CHM201 or taking it online. What do you guys think?
