It seems like sitting for the Nursing Boards is bringing terror to people's hearts. I recently starting helping a few who have failed, and need to sit again. I was sent by each the areas where they showed weakness when they did not pass. I saw a pattern forming.
I started writing emails of things I feel should be covered and addressed. I am not writing questions, I am bringing up topics and giving answers and rational that comes up in Real Life.
It dawned upon me, I can copy these emails and FWD to anyone who writes to me, why not share. I will give an example of the first one I sent, if anyone wants to be included on the Email list, can contact me at [email protected]
