My test is Friday!

  • 1.  My test is Friday!

    Posted 10-23-2024 09:39

    Ok ladies and gents, the time has come. I am 48 hours and 25 minutes away from my test date/time

    I'm a tad nervous, I think I've stress eaten my weight in carbs in the past week. the practice tests I bought from the nbcsn website were super helpful, and the review books have been easy to understand and get into my brain. 

    here's hoping

    If you are the praying type, send some up for me. 

    if you're the well wishes type, I could use those too.

    good luck to all of you :) :) :)

    I'll chime back in on friday afternoon

    Good luck!! Praying it goes well and that you are able to think through every question and answer to the best of your knowledge. Stay calm and confident in what you have studied and what you already know :)

    I'd like to know as well! I have been attempting to join for some time, but I needed to wait for my review book to arrive. I also would like to know how to purchase the flash cards?!

    The current review book is School Nursing Certification Review, Selekman and Cogan, 2020. 

    A revised review book will be published in late spring of this year. That new edition will mirror the new Exam Content Outline which will be utilized beginning with the Summer 2025 exam.

    You can see the new exam content outline in the Candidate Handbook on the NBCSN website. Both the current and the upcoming handbooks are posted. Please note that the content for the exam has not changed; just the organization has changed, based on the results of the Job Task Analysis that was done in 2023. There will be 4 domains rather than 5. The previous 5th domain, special health issues, has been incorporated into the other 4 domains.

    Hi Sandi,

    When is the next study group and when is the next test? My plan was to study now within this group, and take the test over the summer. Is that possible?

    Hi All,

    The on-line study groups begin approximately 7 weeks prior to the opening of the exam window. The summer exam window begins on July 7th, so I would anticipate the study group beginning sometime around the 2nd or 3rd week of May. I will leave it to Sarah to determine the exact date. Once she sets the date, we will announce it here. You are always welcome to review information from past study groups as well. 

    The domains for the exam will be changing beginning with the Summer 2025 exam. Please note the content has not changed, but rather we have changed how it is organized. You can see the new Candidate Handbook on the NBCSN website to view the new Exam Content Outline. We also anticipate the release of the new Review Book in mid-May. Like the exam, the content in the book is very similar but organized to match the new domains. So if you are planning to take the exam in the summer and have already purchased the review book, the content is all still very much valid.

    Best wishes to all!

    Sandi
