Okay, my stupid question, what is the SEC assessment?

What is the exam for exactly:confused:??

The assessment is used to evaluate a person's skills and critical thinking when the documentation regarding their nursing education doesn't supply adequate information as to their preparation compared to that of Canadian-educated nurses. Since only a small amount of learning in nursing actually takes place in school there's a strong possibility that an individual is far more competent in fact than they are on paper. This assessment reveals that.

Finished with my practical test this morning

I did terrible. I was unprepared, it was just really basic really, but i still didn't have the presence of mind to do what was being asked. groan. i know now where I stand even if I don't wait for the results.

written exam tomorrow! wish me luck!

hi im new to this site and i need some advice regarding the SEC.. im suppose to take it but im still deciding when to take it coz i dunno if i need months to prepare for it or if it is pretty easy that i could study for just a month or a couple of weeks..

Review basic nursing skills

and drug computations!

thanks for that..it helped me ease my anxiety..

The name just sounds like...a joke lol. Like something bizarre from the Princess Bride (aka RUS's. Rodents of Unusual Size).

Anyway, would it help to think of the answers as though you were explaining to the patient how, why and rationale for the steps in the process?

That was how I worked my way through my NCLEX, but I have never heard of this test so I am not sure if the same applies here.
