 Smiley Yupper...that is always a breathtaking experience...hundreds of dollars for testing....wait until you get to the CPNE!!!  Shocked  Shocked

I'll second the motion for divine intervention for you on NC4...He got me through it with an A, so you can do it too!

Happy testing!!! Roll Eyes

You can do it!!! What study materials are you using? I knew as long as I knew my abnormal cell growth info I could nail it ... the cardiac and respiratory stuff didn't worry me too much, as a medic and all.  Grin

I used the practice tests for all of the exams, so I can't say what it's like to test without them. But I always found them helpful! If you can manage it, go for it. Smiley Good luck!!!

I took the practice tests for all of them too...and used TCN.  I found that some of the practice questions on the actual test.  If you are confident in the info you have studied..go for it.  If you want another boost...do the practice tests.  They are designed just like the real test...and are timed too.  It helped me to have less stress when I got to the real test.  Good luck!!!!  Smiley

Your right, im gonna do the practice tests today, can't take any chances considering the costs of a repeat test and the down time in between.  Gotta spend some money to mabe save some money.   Im already behind schedule by 10 days.  Hey Sara,,, your a medic right?   hows this..Got an Inguinial Hernia from lifting a ...'Gravity challanged ' women.  went out on WC to have surgury and was fired while the week of surgury.  so can't wait to become an RN and control my own destiny instead of working for those who consider us medics expendible!

I work very closely with W/C and that is not legal!  Talk to your claims adjuster about this.

I have spoken with WC and ya, they say its illeagle but there no real inforcement of it and i would have to hire an attorney to do anything.  laws with no backbone( government sanctions) might as well not exist.  but its all good,, that just pushes me more!
