Also, at $200 for 8 credits and just 1 exam to study for....that's a heck of alot cheaper (time and money) than three exams at $185 ($555 without buying study guides/course books) and three different subjects and three different test dates. I'm worried about it, but I kinda figure if I'm going to study for tests I know nothing about beforehand, one subject is as good as the next (mostly..). Besides...I have a wife, and a child...I could use the knowledge =)

Well...I took Maternal and Child Nursing yesterday..and got a D =/ I don't feel *too* bad though, I really thought I was ready...I did very well on the practice questions before hand, but they asked completely different things on the test: mainly different childhood illnesses and preg complications than the ones I studied. Just alot of subject area to cover!

I think if I kept looking at the material and tried again in 60 days, I'd pass...but I don't have 60 days...so I have to go with plan B and take 3 more tests..ugh...lol
