Meghan’s Guide to the NBE / Funeral Service
Hello there fellow funeral service (and future) professionals, and friends!This is a recorded audio study guide for both the NBE Arts and Science sections for Funeral Service. It may also prove to be a useful study tool for those currently enrolled in a mortuary science program/school once you’ve gotten to the classes I cover in my episodes! I have devoted myself to creating a thorough audio study guide so that my fellow future NBE test takers can finally have a study tool that is not only easily accessible, but is also highly educational and comprehensive.
This Podcast will be divided up into Arts and Sciences sections, with segments under each including more in-depth notes and study guides that I have put together either on my own or from submissions from other classmates/professionals. If you would like to add your own contribution or have any suggestions, please email me at [email protected] or message me on Facebook under Meghan Opocensky. I am ALWAYS extremely appreciative of any additional content I can get to add! Thank you so much for choosing to join me for my study sessions and I hope that together we can get you through this and pass with flying colors!Just remember, there is no true way to be completely prepared for these exams asides from truly knowing the content. You will not be able to pass with just a quick rehashing of the provided and recommended information, so PLEASE do not rely on studying for these exams last minute/winging it. I want to see you succeed!
I always tell people to read their textbooks as the exams are pulled almost word-for-word from them, I highly recommend reading the 21st Century Funeral Directing & Funeral Service Management, Grief Counseling/Psychology, Sociology for Funeral Service textbook and Types of Funeral Services & Ceremonies 2nd Edition for Arts, Embalming: History, Theory, & Practice, Restorative Arts and Science, Chemistry, Pathology and Anatomy textbooks for Science. If you read these during your time in Mortuary school-I encourage you to still read them again. ESPECIALLY your 21st Century one! I will provide a good amount of notes pulled directly from these textbooks, but you’ll still want to read them beforehand so you can have a solid understanding of these topics beforehand.
✨Also, KNOW YOUR DEFINITIONS!✨
Feel free to message me anytime for anything.
Good luck, remember to breathe, I’m here for you and you’re not alone in this endeavor. It’s OKAY if you don’t pass it the first, second, or even your third time. You’ll get it! Use each try as a learning experience to better prepare yourself for the next try. You got this, and with my help I truly believe you’ll get there!
