Hello all,

First off, I want to thank everyone who has posted on this site! I am a board lurker, never posted, but have probably read every single thread regarding the NCLEX. Everyone is so supportive and has such great information, it's incredible.

I took my NCLEX on Monday, and now I am waiting for quick results. All through school I was as cool as a cucumber. Exams never bothered me because you couldn't change it once it was done anyway...I left the NCLEX cool as a cucumber, got home, and started throwing up. LOL. Ahhh. Haven't slept since. My poor husband, he's been hiding. My dogs have been hiding. Even my cats are totally ignoring me. This is not good.

Nope, not healthy. They say the results are up within 48 hours. The Massachusetts BON is not responding at the moment...Pearson says my results are not available yet. I think I've had multiple MIs overnight. I took my test at 9:00 am. So I'm hoping it meant 48 hours from then.

Ah, well, I will keep everyone posted! No pun intended.

Re: This CAN'T be healthy...

aawww hang in there!! You say your BON is not responding? like the site is down?
keep us in formed!!! what was your test like? I am sure if you came out feeling cool you are fine! it is when reality of the test hits(when yougot home) that you start to doubt yourself. I was doubting myself 3 seconds out of the parking lot planning my "failed" speaches!

Just so you know, there are NO nurses out there who haven't gone through what you are going through!!! But take some comfort, when I took boards, it was given in July and we received our results in OCTOBER!!! You should see how creative your family can become when they have to hide for such a long period of time!!!
GOOD LUCK and make sure you let us know how you did!!!

Re: This CAN'T be healthy...

Thanks guys. My test was a lot of what would you do first, which patient will you see first, select all that apply (on mostly meds!! Auuuggghhhh), and stuff like that. I was also surprised by the random drugs...just the drug name, nothing else. But alas...

When I got to around question 30 I figured out what was actually going on. There was a little green alien sitting in the computer, taking pictures of my face as I was reading the questions..."Ha ha" he was saying, "Let's see what color green her face turns now!!" Gave myself a giggle during the test.

I couldn't imagine waiting for months to find out if you passed or not. I'm the only one in my family (that's old enough) that isn't a nurse. Everyone is a nurse who married a nurse. I was a rebel, went into Criminal Justice. I really think nursing is a calling, because I wasn't as happy doing that as I was in nursing school itself...

Yikes, 8:58...dum dum dahhhhh.

Re: This CAN'T be healthy...
