There is an advantage of not having to wait now. Back, in the 'dark ages', when I took my Boards (Over 20 years ago) We got the results in the mail. Snail mail that is. Took my boards in June, got results in August. This made the anxiety during school seem like a paper cut. AND the tests were not computerized. We had to fill in those little circles with our Number 2 pencil. Oh how the times have changed.
My fellow nursing school friends and I can totally relate to the cartoon!! It's a scantron test, just run the fricking thing through the machine!!
We did have one rotation where we took the test through the school website via lockdown browser. At the end of those tests you were well aware of how good or bad you did. After that I thought maybe the time buffer wasn't so bad...

I remember that. I think it was around 6 weeks, but I felt pretty good about my prospects. Still, you're never 100% sure. . 'til your confirmatory snail mail. :)

Nursing Students, you know the feeling. Nursing test scores can never be posted fast enough
