I used the Core curriculm study guide and I found that helpful. I also had a disk that was study questions that I found helpful. I did take a review course but it really wasnt helpful. I found that just doing the questions was helpful. Good Luck!

I work in a big Cancer Hospital. The policy was just changed and we are now required to wear gown and gloves to put up and take down chemo. I think its a great change and that there should be universal practice that every facility follows.

Just wanted to give you a bit of encouragement! I am also just off of orientation and am going thru hell it feels like AHHHHHHH. I am exactly off of orientation and have work 3 shifts. My third one was horrible. I even started crying (at the nurses s...

ganursechick: Take it easy! I dont want to freak you out! Just stay calm and try to focus. Good luck with the test.

I know exactly how you feel! I took my test today and it shut off around 81 or so questions. I just wanted to scream. It was a test that I left feeling like HUH? what? AHHHHHHHHHH! Anyway we are in this wait together!

I guess it depends where your taking it. I am in NYC so we can get our results in 48 hours for a small fee. I think its different in other places. Hope this helps! :)
