Hi all,
I figured that since I'm already about to stroke out from the pressure from myself regarding NCLEX, that I don't need to get any more from other people! Once you graduate, people are constantly asking "When are you taking boards?" From your parents, to your friends, to Granny, to your Pastor and even the neighborhood kids! Once you let them know, they CONSTANTLY ask you every day about the exam, leading up to the date. So, I have decided not to tell others the date of my test.
I have told my mother and I did tell my Nurse Educator at my job (so taht I won't be scheduled for that day) but that's it! My answer to "When are you taking boards?" is "I'm not revealing the date so that I'm not pressured from others anymore that I am. But, when I pass, I'll let ya know!":yeah:
Everyone I've said that has respected my decision (how can they not!) and they still wish me good luck. So, I'm glad I'm keeping it hush-hush!
Anyone else keeping the date to themselves?
