Wow, I have one week to submit an application to the nursing program for RN to MSN, to be a NP. I went to a web page that has a practice exam.... Tell me, will I get enough education to pass this exam? It was so difficult. Ive been a nurse for only 6 years..... I wonder if I could pass the NCLEX again lol. Im quite intimidated. Thanks for reading.

Yes, you CAN pass the certification exam AFTER you obtain the education. Good luck in school - it's worth it!

Hey... I remember the MSN program at my university looked downright scary.....
Once you go to class, get the education, learn the material, and study study study (until you think you never want to see another graduate level book), you'll be fine...

Honestly, I feel like I have learned so much about medicine and disease management and patient care from my NP program and also from reviewing on my own for the NP exam now. It's amazing. :) So don't be scared. You can do it.

Do you mind posting the link for that practice exam? I would like to see if I can pass it and I'm an experienced NP!

I took an NP exam prep course through Fitzgerald Health Education Associates, and it was well worth it. I had no trouble with the exam using their methods. Google them and you will find lots of great information. I actually took the course at the beginning of my last semester and it helped me clinically as well.

Same here.... Although the questions for my NP certification were more substantial than any of those asked on for my testing for RN...
Effort, good program and a NP prep course usually lead to good results...

I am looking forward to taking the FNP exam... hopefully in the near future! That link goes to the psych exam, I have to say a lot of those questions were beyond my non-specialized training (although I did "pass"). If you do use the link, explore the site to check out some of the other practice tests!
