Published

i've read lots of threads about everyone biting their nails to the quick, becoming a nervous wreck, and generally going nuts while waiting for various test result to come back.

let's think of some fun things to do to take your mind off worrying about how many ???s the computer stopped at, etc. :banghead: :no: :bugeyes:

-get reacquainted w/so and kids. :icon_hug:

-take the kids to a movie. or take yourself to a movie. see the one only you want to see. i highly recommend phantom of the opera. don't forget to buy popcorn. :melody: :yelclap:

-go shopping and buy yourself a sexy nightie and surprise your husband. :flowersfo

-knit/crochet an afghan. :yeahthat:

-file your income taxes. :barf02:

your turn!! :bowingpur :plonker2: :idea:

PS I've really enjoyed this thread so far!!!

Specializes in med-surg.

wanted to sit and play my comuter games but couldnt sit still till i got my results. Got mine yesterday now have 3 novels i bought. Maybe i can get them read before i start work on the 30th.:balloons:

How about sleep? I took my test today and I just want to go to sleep until my results are posted. I think I'm depressed. How about write a care plan with myself as the patient? Oh my gosh, I'm really cracking up...I can't believe I would consider writing another dreaded care plan. this waiting is awful cuz I have no idea how I did. None at all.

Specializes in ER.

i cant believe that they are so exxacting on the 48 hours thing. i cant leave my computer and tried cleaning and video games. even sleep last night was tough. my dog is looking at me like ive lost it.

Consider yourself lucky...in Canada we had to wait almost 60++ days for results!! By the time our results got to us we almost forgot we even wrote it!!

I won't find out until tomorrow around 2pm what I made on the NCLEX and I am really CRAZY with worry, so my plan is to clean the house like Im expecting company and to start looking for a new house on the internet, which is contingent upon me passing, but I'm going to pass!!! Saying it with the confidence that I don't feel;)

Here in the Philippines, we have to wait for more or less than 45 days.
