some of the questions were like, "Of the following what is considered objective behavior". Then it listed the following: your pt grimaces as he is moved, pt states he is in severe pn, pt states he needs pn meds, Pt denies c/p.? I naturally picked the first one. As I recall the objective behavior is how the pt presents, and subjective is what the pt complains of? The other one was that a wife has just found out that the husband is terminally ill. They wanted to know a diagnosis for the wife? So after all that was said and done, I had never been so mentally drained before in my life. But I refuse to let it beat me, the good side is at least I know what to expect now. Thanks for the web site infor, God bless.......

Just took the nc1 test today and made a D. I was so frustrated with the way the test presented itself. I am in need of some advice on other ways to study for these test. I am currently a paramedic/firefighter and am completely blown away at the material on the test. It was not at all like I had studied. I was using the study guide and reading the book, but apparently that was not enough. I was so disappointed after the test, all I wanted to do was quit. I am eligible to take it in 60 days, of course I have to pay another 215.00 to take it. If anyone has ANY suggestion pls fill me in. Thanks and god bless.....
