I proctored one section of the Level 4 nursing students today. There were suppose to be 43 student but only 38 made it to the testing room. It was a diagnostic test and that 500 plus questions were divided into the following concepts: MCN which has 200 questions for OB & Pedia, then Psychia, and the last one was Fluids and Electrolytes. I know it was tiring because the questions were not easy. There were integrated questions that were taken up the moment you enrolled in nursing. So if you forgot some of them because one has learned it in Anatomy or Health Care 1, then there was no way of trying to recall them today as they are beating the time. They are given an hour and 30 minutes each test with 30 minutes break inbetweens.

When they passed their papers for the last concept (F & E) some said taht they feel dizzy and nauseus reading the questions.

My heart goes out to them. For sure i would be in the same situation had i not stopped schooling. This is actually my batch if I just continued my schooling in a 4 year nursing program. But i did want that time to take it up for 3 years plus i was hooked to working, then the nursing dream was totally forgotten.
