Comments on: How to Take the Nursing Home Administrator Exams http://www.nursinghometalk.com/blog/2008/11/01/recommendation-for-taking-the-nab-state-exams/ Tue, 31 Aug 2010 01:52:16 +0000 hourly 1 By: Erin Blakely http://www.nursinghometalk.com/blog/2008/11/01/recommendation-for-taking-the-nab-state-exams/comment-page-1/#comment-197 Erin Blakely Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:51:46 +0000 http://www.nursinghometalk.com/?p=164#comment-197 Hello Autumn, Thanks for your email. I understand where you are coming from --- I was also a financially burdened student when studying for my exams. So much so that at one point I debated not taking a practice study course to save money. I still feel that would have been a mistake because I got a lot out of the study course. If you think about what your time is worth, and then you add in the cost of retaking the exam, it's worth it to do it right the first time, even if it takes you a bit longer. However, everyone is different and therefore you must do what you need to do. Check out my recommended books for the NAB exam. Most of them you can purchase from Amazon.com, Ebay, or Half.com for a fraction of the price. Also if you go to <a href="http://www.indeed.com" rel="nofollow">www.indeed.com</a> they have a forum for nursing home administrators and students that gives helpful information. You can post a question and get feedback from administrators all over the country. Hope this helps. Good luck! Erin Hello Autumn,

Any information you can give me will help. It would be great if I can get the name of the instructor and contact information from you. I am asking around and trying to gather all the information I can get before making decisions. Thanks again. Hello Erin,

I am not aware of any specific courses in Miami. I do know of a course in Central Florida. I took this one, and just stayed in a hotel for the weekend. Another option is to take the course online. If you would like more information, let me know. Good luck! Hi Chantelle,
