Attaining and Protecting My Professional Nursing License

After graduation, I plan to be licensed in New Hampshire, where I am still a resident. New Hampshire is a compact state, which allows for me to have licensure in multiple states. New Hampshire also allows for new graduates to work under a temporary license, pending licensure by examination. To apply for licensure, I will need to complete a few steps including a criminal background check, finger printing, and an application for licensure by exam. I will have to fill…

While I was more comfortable with the content of this exam, I did not do as well as I had hoped. Also, I did not implement any previous testing lessons I learned from the earlier assessments. Again, I answered questions way too fast. I realize that I have a really hard time pacing myself with answering questions. I have always been a fast reader/test taker but the amount of time I spend on most questions is not conducive to answering…
