“The difficulty of the EIR (Specialist in Nursing) exam reaches 30% and the average score is 2.8 out of 10. Statistics about it”
Once again, the time to prepare for the Medical, Specialist in Nursing or Pharmacy resident access exams arrives. On Christmas dates, young graduates already talk about the long-awaited exams and the difficulty they will face, but they also receive advice and support.
According to Oposalud, 2022 was “complicated”, with an average grade of 2.7. On the other hand, last year the average was 2.8.
“Within a few days, the race begins,” says Marta Errasti, a nursing student who affirms that “the possibility of having some days off to see their family at Christmas generates a less stressful environment than in other EIR calls”.
The EIR exams pose a great challenge for nursing students. “The percentages of difficulty are worrying and the knowledge that is verified in a few questions is overwhelming,” says Pedro Cuqiales, from Oposalud.)” I hope that “the tremors in the hands and the three minutes of madness are worth it after weeks of sacrifice,” adds Sofia Lazar.
Today, Maria Teijeiro, an old nurse, attests “I know that it is difficult, but do not forget that stress can generate anxiety and that does not help in the exams either. Going with a calm and with the preparation of the 24-hour coaching, I, as a nurse, believe that everything will be, as long as you study with good test material.”
