Worried sick now that i have actually taken the test.

Mystiqx, 124 is very good! Give yourself a pat on the back rather than a scolding. I am so glad you got your scores in though, I can't imagine what it would have been like to wait that long. My math was the worst on mine too, but that was completely anticipated. Is it just the one school you applied to? What was minimum score you know of that they accept or is it based completely on your NLN score? You know what we on this site are so driven to succeed that we forget to remember the competition that isn't on here (because it's not that serious to them) and how they compare to us. When I took a personal survey of NLN scores at my school (which is one of the only accredited schools for ADN so very very competitive) I was shocked to hear how low some people scored on the NLN. Keep that in mind. I don't know if you read my Plan B thread but honestly after I got my NLN results I was pretty bummed, made my Plan B and feel fantastic and am able to concentrate again!

Thanks DesertRain, i guess i was more upset at the fact that i spent 3 months studying for math since it was the part that scared me the most, and it was still my lowest score, but someone told me if i hadn't studied so hard it might have been worse. I only applied to one school, private Hospital ADN program, it had all the eliments i wanted and i would still be able to keep my current job.The school is looking for a 55 composite percentile for eligibility and they specificially want a 45 percentile on the English section (I got a 82%) I think i remember seeing the plan B thread i will definately read it.
I think i am nervous too since i had alot of issues in undergrad and it may work against me. I just wish i didn't make so many stupid mistakes, cause now it may come back and bite me in the butt, i had no idea i'd figure out what direction i wanted to take 4 yrs after graduating college.

I was the same way mystx...i graduated college almost three years ago (time flies...) and after spending all that time and money getting a degree, I realized that as much as i loved studying my major.. i had no intention of ever doing it as work! oops.

I take mine next week and I swear I can't remember a thing. I am having terrible brain block. I know I know some of it, but feel that I have crammed too much in at once. I took today totally off. I am actually thinking of this test when I sleep. Anyone else do that?! Go over answers in their head while they are actually sleeping or trying to?! I am nuts!! lol

Does anyone remember the Newton weight question?! I want to look it up!! Thanks!! I need every point I can get. hehe

[mystiqx]

I know how you feel, went through the same thing. I litterally dreamt about taking the test ( and failing it no doubt) anyway, i think you should take sunday off too. Don't think about it, watch tv, veg out, do something else.

You will do fine. Crossing fingers and toes for you

P.S. You are not nuts!

I took the NLN on 2/17 and anxious to find out how I made out. I think I did OK on the verbal and science but the Math, probably not so well.

[GloriveeM]

I got my mine but got confused with the scoring and told my family memeber I passed when I really did not I feel like such a failure a whole year studying and now I have to wait 6 months more

[gigi15]

Oh my! so sorry GloriveeM, i thought as long as u have a 55% u passed, is this not the case? i took mine last friday and am so scared, i felt i got the harder version of the test, the math or the science did not mimic the study guide at all.

To Lindie, i feel the same way, abou the math section, did not finish and had to guess the last 10, did finish the verbal and science, but will have to wait to see where i stand, thank God for this board where there is so mych love and support because the non-nursing family and friends do not understand the struggle.
Does anyone know the average length wait for the results? pl advise

sincerely

Don't feel bad for failing. You now know what the test is like and will be able to learn what you had trouble with for the second time around. I have heard that a lot of people do fail it. Do something nice for yourself and study a little every day. You can do it sweetie!!

I am going to take today off from studying. I am going to just review my practice tests tonight while watching the Oscars. That will keep it low key and fun which I need right now. 5 days and counting. lol

Glad to know I am not nuts!! Not so sure about that, but you are all sooo sweet!!
