Re: Things to do while awaiting NCLEX results

My stomach is in knots.... I am awating my results hmmm.

How about reading for fun! (something I haven't had the pleasure of doing while in nursing school)

Call your nursing buddies for support

Take a nap

Clean your closet

Enjoy your family, truly focus on them!!!

You're not the only one. I not only clean, but I also cook and bake.

I tried to do lunch with some non-nursing friends, but everyone was busy, so I convinced my hubby to go out to lunch with me and we came home afterward and took a nap. Heaven!

After that, I made a double espresso and watched Anchorman and laughed my derriere off. When that was over, the UPS guy delivered my husband's Father's Day gifts, so I put one to use--I cut his hair with the hair clipper he wanted.

Re: Things to do while awaiting NCLEX results

I'm in California...just took the test. I can't imagine the wait ahead of me. I'm already a nervous wreak...let alone if I have to wait a few weeks...

So it only took three days!!! I spent those three days doing the slug thing...I watched the new Doctor Who....first two seasons...

Talking Re: Things to do while awaiting NCLEX results

My family and I are going to go to the water park tomorrow. I am going to get lost in the lazy river and forget about it. I am thankful it is over for sure but it is nerve racking and we don't even have to wait that long now. Thank God!

i am going to sit on the couch and watch Sex and the City and Friends on DVD. Maybe catch up on the stack of magazines that have accumulated over the past two years.

Re: Things to do while awaiting NCLEX results

Unfortunately, I have to go back to work which is kind of a good distraction. That is at least 20 hours of distraction. I will try to put a few hours of sleep in there. Already slept 3 after it was over (had a splitting headache). I spent 30 minutes laying down the rules to my husband about not stressing me out in there.

I guess I could do things like clean, and wash clothes. I guess, with your nerves being so tore up, you literally don't know which way to turn. I did better before the test.
