    Welcome to Week #7



    This is the last week of our official study group for the Spring 2022 NBCSN Exam.

    That doesn’t mean we are done.  We are here if you have questions, comments, concerns, or feedback.

    Week 7 in the 2020 Selekman/Cogan School Nurse Certification Review Course deals with Professional Issues and comprises 13% of the exam.

    • The Law as it relates to health and education
    • Code of Ethics (ANA/NASN)
    • Regulation of Nursing
    • Administrative Issues
    • Legal Issues
    • Use of Social Media in School Nursing

    Corresponding chapters in the Selekman, Shannon, and Yonkaitis School Nursing a Comprehensive Text are Chapters 3, 8 – 10, 36 – 37.

    You might be taking the exam right away, or you might be taking it towards the end of the window. You might even be preparing for another window. It doesn’t matter. This community is always available courtesy of NASN. We are here to answer your questions and celebrate with you when you pass the exam.

    Be sure to visit the Exam Prep page to make sure that you have taken advantage of all the materials that you feel will be helpful to you.

    Special appreciation to @Pat Krin, MSN, M.S., RN, NCSN-E, FNP-BC-Retired, FNASN for helping to moderate this page & contributing to the study group messages!  Best of luck everyone, keep us posted!

    I ordered the physical copy of the National exam study guide on August 26.  Not only have I not received the physical copy, I cannot get anyone to return an email or a phone call regarding its whereabouts.  I realize I have online access, but that is not my preferred studying method.  Is anyone else experiencing this problem? The website says to order at least 5 weeks in advance, it's been 8 weeks.

    Hello, 
    I passed the NCSN exam this weekend.
    I used every study method available. 
    I used Selekmans exam prep cards and ecourse. I reviewed School Nursing Scope of Practice and School Nursing a Comprehensive Text. 
    Also, I recommend studying in groups and making your own study cards. 
    This group discussion helped as well. 
    It has all enhanced my practice. 
    Best of luck!
