Fun things to do while waiting for results

Published

ahh so i have about 5 hours to go till my results come in. I had 265 questions so i am freaking out quite a bit. However, trying to keep a positive attitude I did some fun things yesterday and trying to kill the last 5 hours I thought it would be fun to come up with things to do while waiting for results. Personally, I find waiting for results more agonizing and anxiety provoking than waiting to take the test!!! So... this is what I did right after the test:

went to happy hour with my boyfriend and had a margarita

went out to dinner

yesterday:

walked around the lake in my town (and cried a bit! :()

went and got a massage (had a gift certificate that I saved for this very day after the test when i would need it most)

and looked at two apartments (soo exciting)

what are all your ideas!?

How do you find out the exact time your results will come in?

I had to fight every urge to knock myself out with sedatives and call my doc for anti anxiety drugs!! It was either that or stay drunk. LOL. However, I did neither. I just suffered through it...and it was excruciating! Found out this morning I passed!! WOO HOO!!

Good luck!! I can't wait to hear that you passed!

It is 48 hours after you test if you are speaking of Pearson-Vue and their Quick Results, but not all states participate in that. Would check your BON website first to see if your name is up there.

Best of luck to you.

I put my laptop away and watched movie after movie. All the movies I missed while in nursing school!! :)

I'll be watching movies and catching up on some taped Mythbusters episodes with a pitcher or two of sangria. Not the best coping mechanism, but I figure I'll have earned it. :beer:
