National Certification Exam Candidates

Hello NCSN Candidates!

This marks our final day before the testing window opens.  I want to apologize again for the issues we had with posting weekly review material.  I have been going through some family concerns, and I did not set up the automatic posting correctly.

That being said, I just wanted to drop you a final note to wish you the very best of luck on your exam! You've all worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and I'm confident you're ready.

As a quick reminder for exam day prep:

• Get a good night's sleep-rest is just as important as your review!
• Have everything ready the night before (ID, registration info, etc.).
• Eat a healthy breakfast-keep it light but energizing.
• Take a few deep breaths before starting the exam and trust in what you know!

Remember, you've got this! I'm cheering you on, and I can't wait to hear how it goes. Good luck, and go in there with confidence-you've earned it!

Welcome to Week #5:  Be like Tigger, and keep bouncing forward!

Our online study group is "bouncing" ahead to Chapter 5  in the Selekman/Cogan School Nursing Certification Review book.  This chapter focuses on Health Promotion/Disease Prevention and comprises approximately 20% of the possible NCSN exam questions.  

Chapter 5 - Health Promotion/Disease Prevention

1. Health Promotion/Disease Prevention
2. Immunizations
3. Infection Control
4. Risk Reduction
5. Health Education
6. Counseling
7. Emergency and Disaster Preparedness
8. Community Health Needs
9. Staff Wellness

Selekman, Shannon and Yonkaitis School Nursing: A Comprehensive Text 3rd Edition Chapters 5, 7, 14 – 15, 20, 31, 34, 38 - 39

Sharing your process is helpful for everyone, so please think about checking in and letting us know how your preparation is going.
Here is a link to an online sample test through the generous State of Illinois!  This is helpful because it is an online version and is similar to the NBCSN test experience.  Some of the questions are specific to Illinois regulations, but others are more global questions for practice.

*Don't forget the NBCSN Practice Tests available singly or in a bundle of two. Each computerized test has 75 multiple-choice questions with a rationale for the answers. You can access them through your application page or go to www.nbcsn.org and click on the orange Login button on the top right.*

7. Identify Specific Determiners

When the options of a test item contain words that are identical or similar to words in the stem, the alert test taker recognizes the similarities as clues about the likely answer to the question. The stem word that clues you to a similar word in the option or that limits potential options is known as a specific determiner. For example:

The government agency responsible for administering the Nursing Practice Act in each state is the:

1. Board of Regents
2. Board of Nursing
3. State nurses' association
4. State hospital association

Options 2 and 3 contain the closely related words nurse and nursing. The word nursing, used both in the stem and in option 2, is a clue to the correct answer.

8. Identify Words in the Options That Are Closely Associated With Words in the Stem

Be alert to words in the options that may be closely associated with but not identical to a word or words in the stem. For example:

When a person develops symptoms of physical illness for which psychogenic factors act as causative agents, the resulting illness is classified as:

1. Dissociative
   2. Compensatory
   3. Psychophysiologic
   4. Reaction formation

Option 3 should strike you as a likely answer since it combines physical and psychological factors, like those referred to in the stem.

9. Watch for Grammatical Inconsistencies

If one or more of the options are not grammatically consistent with the stem, the alert test taker usually can eliminate these distractors. The correct option must be consistent with the form of the question. If the question demands a response in the singular, plural options usually can be safely eliminated. When the stem is in the form of an incomplete sentence, each option should complete the sentence in a grammatically correct way. For example:

Communicating with a male client who is deaf will be facilitated by:

1.  Use gestures
2. Speaking loudly
3. Find out if he has a hearing aid
4. Facing the client while speaking

Options 1 and 3 do not complete the sentence in a grammatically correct way and can, therefore, be eliminated. Option 2 would be of no assistance with a deaf client, so option 4 is the correct answer.
____________________________________________________________________________________________
Best of luck to those who are planning on taking the exam during the upcoming testing window. Here are some  test preparation suggestions:

Welcome to Week #6 - Let's start putting it all together!

Hopefully, this feels familiar to the members of this group.  Successfully passing the exam is experience, preparation, and test-taking strategies. Our online study group is moving ahead to Chapter 6 in the Selekman/Cogan School Nursing Certification Review book.  This chapter focuses on Special Health Issues and is approximately 14% of the possible NCSN exam questions. These weeks have flown by! We have one more week to go.

Chapter 6 – Special Health Issues

• Chronic Conditions
• Legal Considerations: Laws Relating to Special Education
• Educational/Health Management
• Sensory Deficits
• Psychiatric/Mental Health Needs and Conditions
• Reproductive Issues

The corresponding chapters in Selekman, Shannon, and Yonkaitis School Nursing: A Comprehensive Text 3^rd Edition are Chapters 7, 8 – 10, 21 – 30, 31 – 35.

If you are just joining this group, follow the week-by-week progression of the suggested review, including posted links to multiple-choice questions.  There are three test windows for the NCSN exam, so pace yourself accordingly.  Please feel free to share your questions, comments, and suggestions in this forum.  Best of luck to those who are sitting for the exam during this Summer testing window!

10. Be Alert to Relevant Information From Earlier Questions

Occasionally, remembering information from one question may provide you with a clue for answering a later question. For example:

A client has an intestinal tube inserted for the treatment of intestinal obstruction. Intestinal suction can result in excessive loss of:

1. Protein enzymes
   2. Energy carbohydrates
   3. Water and electrolytes
   4. Vitamins and minerals

You determined that the correct answer to this question was option 3, it may help you to answer a later question. For example:

Critical assessment of a client with intestinal suction should include observation for:

1. Edema
2. Nausea
3. Belching
4. Dehydration

The correct answer is option 4. If you knew that excessive loss of water and electrolytes may lead to dehydration, you could have used the clue provided in the earlier question to assist you in answering the latter question.

11. Make Educated Guesses

When you are unsure about the correct answer to a question, it is better to make an educated guess than not to answer the question. You generally can eliminate one or more of the distractors by using partial knowledge and the methods just listed. The elimination process increases your chances of selecting the correct option from those remaining. Elimination of two distractors on a four-option multiple-choice item increases your probability of selecting the correct answer from 25% to 50%.

Here are 10 clear multiple-choice test-taking strategies including a link to the full document to download if you would like to read further:

A basic 10-step test-taking strategy
1. Know the rules and follow instructions.
2. Read each question carefully and thoroughly. Don't rush and assume you "get it" before you read the whole thing; you could miss a keyword or important detail.
3. For particularly long questions first read the last sentence of the stem (i.e., the actual question) so you know where the question is going and can more effectively evaluate the information provided.
4. Try to predict the correct answer before looking at the options.
5. Match your predicted answer to the options provided.
6. If your response is there, read each of the other options before making your final selection to make sure there isn't a better response, then mark your answer and move to the next question.
7. If your response is not there, re-read the question and proceed to ruling-out incorrect options (distractors).
8. If you're stuck, re-read the question; don't just keep reading the options. The correct answer follows from the information in the question stem, so always go back to the question.
9. If you're still stuck, take your best guess, mark the question, and move on.
10. Double-check your answer selections.
