Lessons Learned from NPs who have Failed the Boards
Dr. Margaret Fitzgerald, DNP, FNP-BC, NP-C, FAANP, CSP, FAAN, DCC, FNAP sometimes speaks with NPs who are among the approximately 15% of examinees who do not pass the NP exam on their first try. (Keep in mind, these are NPs who did not use the Fitzgerald courses or who used another review course. People who use the Fitzgerald NP review have a 99%+ pass rate.) What has Dr. Fitzgerald learned from these conversations? It’s that this is a group of highly intelligent people who completed a course of rigorous graduate study. In spite of this, they were unsuccessful at passing an exam that dictates whether the NP can practice. This can be a devastating blow. However, in retrospect, most can say what got in the way of success. Here is what they have shared.
