After assuming the worst, I passed!!!

[clairebearrn]

Hi everyone,

First of all, I want to thank everyone for their support. That is the true spirit of nursing. You guys always are so caring and gave me strength these past 4 days, which were torture!!!

The day before NCLEX I actually did kaplans question trainer 7 and did fairly well with a 67. The morning of NCLEX I did 20 qbank questions in order to get in the mood...(but I would recommend relaxing...hehe) I only got 75 questions and I thought they were so easy and assumed I failed...but after 5 days of waiting I found out I passed!!!!

Somehow, I thought Kaplan strategies didn't help, just doing questions and reading the rationales to see what they were actually asking!!! We graduated college and we have the knowledge within us and just have to know how to use it!!!! All of you out there you can do this!!!

If waiting for results...

The number of questions and type of questions have no say in whether you will pass or fail!!!!!!!! I only got 6 SATA and easy questions and passed!!!! Please wait for your results and learn from my experience!!! I couldn't eat and sleep! My anxiety was affecting me and also my family!!! I have a baby and was stuck studying most of the time!!! Enjoy your family...they will love you no matter what! I would recommend using suzannes plan...instead of Hurst and Kaplan who drill so much information into your head!!! Kaplan has a 600 page book!!! Suzanne was very helpful with her comments and knows cramming isn't the way!!! Good luck and thanks everyone...If I can help anyone just email me....

...oh am so proud!!!!

The brn webside was not updated during the holiday. I called them up and listen to a recording stating that they will not operate during the holiday, but resume the following Monday at 0800. Also, the webside clearly states: last update July 2, 2008.

I just want to specify these little details otherwise I GO INSANE!!! d/t I took the test on the 2nd and my name is not there yet. However, some other people I know took the test on the same day as me and are not listed either.

I am in Cali, and I tested the same day, too. So, count me in as not on the BRN!

Hi Clara, this is rockenmom, I PMed you b/c I was so anxious for you. I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!! I dont have a test date yet but am waiting for my ATT card. I'm using your experience as a reminder to just study and take it one question at a time.

I'm actually suprised to see you got your result. The CA board says it hasn't been updated since july 2nd. A bunch of my friends took their exams on the 2nd and they still dont have their results. AAARRRR
