I have purchased Barkley's review book, reapplied to ANCC, and have developed a new study strategy that is mapped out and ready to go. I am so appreciative for all of the support. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Thank you so much. The positive feedback is very encouraging.

I feel my program well prepared me to practice. I'm just stunned at the questions on the exam and how foreign things were to me.

I had a ton of culture questions as well as leadership and billing questions. I studied all of the given material but feel the questions where beyond what I studied.

I am FNP. I know where some of my mistakes in preparing lie. I am trying to develop a new plan of attack. But my heart is very heavy today as you can imagine. I have all my Fitzgerald course materials, a Leik book, as well as an additional Fitzgerald book. I have CDs to now listen to from a friend. Test taking strategies. This is needed due to my severe anxiety with tests.

I took the Fitzgerald course and stuck primarily to her guide. I think this was my first mistake. I should have used other resources. I don't think I gave myself enough time. I went through all the material doing huge portions of studying at a time. I think I need to go to the 3-4 hours 5 days a week and really understand the concepts. Some things on the exam were things I had never seen or heard of. I went into it calm. When that started happening and things were completely unfamiliar I panicked and couldn't focus. Tell me not to give up. Overwhelmed to say the lease.

I failed ANCC last night. Overwhelmed but not surprised based on the questions I saw and the panic setting in. Tips? Thoughts? Suggestions? How were you successful? I don't know where to begin.
