yup, i somehow managed to do it. i've watched soo many people over the last 3 years here on allnurses start excelsior, take their tests, pass the cpne, graduate, pass their boards, and go bout their lives as rns...and here i am...
i've procrastinated in the worst way possible with this program..no excuse is good enough. ya'll know the deadline to complete the nursing concepts under the old cirriculum is sept 30..i have one test left..nc6..i am scheduled for this friday, sept 18 at 11am..
i got a d on this test in july and i've been so nerve wracked and scared of flunking again that i've been counter productive and not studying like i should...so here's my question: if i flunk this last test and miss the deadline, what happens to me?! what will be added to my requirements, what's this fcca thing, etc? any info would be helpful for just in case i find myself on the opposite end of relieved/happy friday....
you're gonna do great today! just relax, take a deep breath and when you get to one you aren't sure about, break the question down. know what they're asking and watch for those key words...are they looking for a nursing dx or a goal? think about your steps, and when all else fails, its airway, breathing and circulation! knock out the 2 that you are sure that it isn't and give it your best shot...that gets you 50/50, right! i can't wait to hear how you did, i hope you got some sleep last night...and eat a good breakfast this morning...that will help your brain function better! lots of protein...okay...go gett'em tiger!!!
I understand how you feel. I have been having 16 hour days working and studying for the dreaded NC 5. I take it Monday and I am schizing because I have failed it before and the deadline is looming. Relax and hang in there. You won't die no matter what happens. Corny but true.
thank you all for your support during my wiggage this week lol..ya'll kept me centered, calmer, and focused so that i could study..and it sure paid off!!
jules--rawr!!! lol
pageantnurse--i failed nc5 my first go too...i soo recommend the practice exams from excelsior..they were key to my passing the second time around!!
i love my allnurses family-you guys rock!!! :redbeathe:redbeathe
I take LifeSpan 2 next Thursday. It is my last one, for I am retaking it too. Any pointers. Have hit a road block in studying. Just cannot get in the groove and I have to work this weekend, so that cuts two days off of study time. Trying to get it done by end of month so I can make sure I get old version of FCCA, not the computer version just in case it is ready for October 2009. I have Study group 101 & Excelsior practice test. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ha ha!! That is GREAT!!! Good job. I was thinking you'd get an excellent grade with your practice test score -- I always got in the 70s on the practice exams, for the most part, and I got almost all A's on the nursing exams. I'll bet you are so relieved!!
thank u all!! i have been in such a good mood at work this weekend..lol..i got to work fri night and my cnas had got me a congrats cake and balloons...they're so sweet!
