Nclex-rn Blue screen of death


Took my NCLEX-RN this morning. Shut down at either 83 or 84 (Maybe 85) questions. I have got to say the blue screen of death that you see when it shuts down is the most disconcerting moment, and strangest moment. Honestly, I did not know what to do next.
Only 33 hours 21 minutes 18 seconds till my results are posted.
They have got to change that blue screen to something that says "You're NCLEX is over, you may relax now." Being a former computer programmer, my initial reaction was "Oh &*#$". Then I realized what had happened. I was speaking with the proctor afterwards, and they were telling me that when they first started to administer the exam several years ago, they would see these blue screens come up and thought there was something seriously wrong with the computer system.
One thing to note, I maybe an RN and not even know it. Wow. Bye for now.

Adam, GN.
