Just took my LPN Boards today!!!!


I just took my LPN boards today and let me tell you...well I was not anxious before the test -- I walked out of the testing center I felt as if I never went to school. I studied for weeks completed LPN Q&A books (1.5). took a review class the last week of June and felt confident that I should be able to PASS my boards. Well, that feeling was short lived. I'm not sure whether or not I passed of failed. I feel a relief that it was over; but also feel that there is a possibility that I may fall into the 15% OF THOSE THAT DON"T PASS on their first try. My saying is "what's done is done -- now let's move one from here." I don't find out my unofficial results until Thursday when I will be able to check my results on line for $7.95. WILLL I PAYTO CRY OR CHEER!!!

I will say this IT WAS HARD! and to anyone who passed on the first try CONGRATS!

THE NEXT TWO DAYS WILL BE HARD FOR ME!!!!

Thanks for letting me vent - that's why I love this site. Nurses taking care of nurses (or future nurses).

Mare....

Congratulations on taking your boards.


I can relate somewhat on how you feel that you never went to school. I feel like that after every test I take.


I 'm sure you did fine. And if you didn't...try try try again.

Good luck.

First, want to thank everyone who replied to my post for their support - you guys are the greatest. The computer shut off on mine as well at number 88 - i think I wasn't even looking at the numbers - just answering the questions... I will definately let everyone know my fate.

Pearson will allow you to log on to their website for the results - but I have to wait two business days - that means I'll know on Thursday morning.
