Staring at my FCCA for 1 week now!

LoopsRN2 · Sep 24, 2011

It was delivered a few days early and I've been looking at it and putting it down every single day since i got it...it's now 7 days later and I'm only 5 days into the 10 that I have to do it. I'm completely confused, and I know I should call that number and ask questions, but somehow i felt that one day I'm gonna look at it and it'll make more sense. I've seen that this happened to a few people too. Any insight plz? My window is 9/21-9/30.....

I felt the same way, many of us did! The best advice I got was "do not over-think the FCCA...." and it is true. Use your nursing diagnosis handbook and have at it and send that baby back in! I put in a phone call and received a bit of direction, but they really can't offer you much. I also used my Smeltzer. Good luck!!

you should really start the ball rolling now. you only have 5 days left. it was really confusing in the beginning and i called ec for guidance and they could not really helped me because it would be considered "answering" the fcca. i have not heard of anybody who failed this exam so that should give you some comfort.

you know what book is really good for this exam? i did not use this book for my fcca but when i was preparing for my nclex, i told myself where was this book when i was doing my fcca. here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0323065708/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=0323044077&pf_rd_m=atvpdkikx0der&pf_rd_r=0k6njtsc66ny6t8rj476

good luck!
