Let’s get real for a second: board prep can feel like an emotional rollercoaster. I still remember staring at my study guide, dreading certain sections more than others. For me, Pharmacology always made my palms sweat so many meds, so little time! But I’ve talked to so many of you who say Psych or Peds is your biggest hurdle.

We all have that one topic that feels like a mountain. And guess what? You’re not alone. The Advanced NP community is full of future NPs who get it and want to help each other get through it.

So, I’m curious: Which board topic scares you the most Psych, Pharm, Peds, or maybe something else entirely? What makes it tough for you? Drop your answers (or even your best study tips) in the comments! Let’s support each other and turn fear into confidence one topic at a time.
