National Certification Exam Candidates

_{There will be no questions about Covid-19 on the exam.  The exams for a full year are put together in November of the prior year, so that was before we ever heard of Covid-19.  That doesn't mean that there won't be questions about flu or infection control. As I said in a previous email, those of us who respond to this discussion list have no idea what questions are on the exam. None of us are currently involved in Test Development. If we were we could not participate in this list.}

_{If you have not looked at the handbook, I encourage you to do so.}

https://www.nbcsn.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/nbcsn-handbook-2020-v1-2-2020.pdf. It has what is called the test blueprint starting on page 12. It will give you an idea of the types of information school nurses are expected to know.

When you ask about Chapter 7, I am not clear if you mean Chapter 7 of the Certification Review Book. If so, remember that that book is 10 years old and vaping was not the problem that it is today. I can't say that there will or will not be questions about vaping on the exam, but you should be familiar with the information.

Stay well.
