RN wannabe

It sounds to me like you may be OVER studying. If you learn some of the testing strategies, that may help more than killing yourself with tests! For instance... the correct answer is usually the least invasive-first choice never being to give drugs. "Assess" before any action. If the answer says "always" "never" or any absolute words such as those, it is usually wrong. Pain doesn't kill people-the test will try to distract you with patients in acute pain but they are not usually the priority patient. I was actually told that it was better to wait until about a week prior to testing to review rather than months of overkill and it worked for me. I was nervous as heck, but I passed it just this week with the minimum # of questions!

Where I am, the anethetist programs are considered a masters level, so a bachelor's IS required. However, it does not have to be in nursing. http://www.anesthesia-nursing.com/wina2.html
