it's official, i passed and can say it is thanks to allnurses.com. the random facts thread was the biggest part of my studies and really helpful for me. thanks to everyone for being so supportive. :[anb]: :prdnrs:tips: 1.) have a good knowledge base. they can ask anything and you need to be ready for it. no specifics, they want to know how you'll use what you know. 2.) know you meds!!!!!3.) no matter how tempted you are, do not study the day before! if you must, limit it to " passive reading ".4.) great advise i got from jackicu, it is only a test.5.) passively read the random facts thread and be sure to contribute. the act of making contributions was really helpful in getting the material to stay in my head. :typingand last, if you have questions regarding something specific, be sure to post it here. lots of great advise and support!:heartbeatthanks so much everyone!!!! :tku:
