Reply- I with my company's associates have helped more than 45,000 NPs acheive certification. I have also spoken to hundreds if not thousands of NPs who have failed certification over the years. You comment about it being very easy speaks to your clinical knowledge. That is the comment of a well prepared entry level NP. Congratulations! But remember that some of your colleagues struggle tremendously to pass the exam. Dr. Margaret A.
