The wait is killing me!!


I have not slept in almost a week in the days leading up to and after the horrible test. I only took it on Wednesday, and it feels like its been a month! I have lost about 5 pounds just from anxiety and not being able to eat because my stomach feels like there are snakes writhing around in it. My test shut off at 75 questions...could be really good or really bad. Questions keep popping in my head and I keep second guessing the answers I chose and now I am convinced that I got 90% of them wrong. In about an hour, it will have been 48 hours and I should find out my fate. One way or the other, I can at least move on with things. In the meantime, I am obsessively checking the computer for results. I need to do something else to do and since I can't seem to move my but away from the stupid computer I figured I would just post about my sorry state here. Thanks to all for your support! I will let you know the outcome.

Hi,
Took my RN exam yesterday. It shut off at 75?'s, no calculations, lots of meds--some I've never heard of, about 8 select all that apply, and also priority and a few delegation. I think I only got 3 or 4 right, I have never felt so anxious and unsure in my life. I keep checking the pearson vue site and the BON site, I know it's too soon but I can't help it. My heart is pounding and I am soooo nervous, feeling sick and upset. I am in the same boat as you are!!! Good luck to us both!!! Let me know when you get your results. Is it good or bad to only have 75?'s???
