I took my boards on Monday and am terrified I failed. I should have rescheduled them due to feeling terrible with bronchitis but figured I made it through 4 years of nursing school with occiput neuralgia and 14 surgeries so I could make it through boards.
The testing center monitor was talking so loud outside the door I could hear him through the my ear plugs. He finally got the message after some nasty looks and fingers stuck in my ears.
The last time I looked I had 245 questions in and the computer shut off several questions later. Has anyone ever passed with that many questions? If I had to bet money on whether I passed I would be deep in debt by now.
Can anyone help with the number of questions taken and passed?
Congrats!!!! As too the nurse who told you to grow a back bone or you would never be able to effectively advocate for your pts. Very not right. I am very nonconfrontational very good natured. However when it comes to my job and my pts Noone but Noone gets anything by me. I will go as far as I need to for them however you dont have to be a cold heart or a fighter to do that you just have to care. Again congrats!!!!
I just passed, too! Congrats to both of us, and everyone else who passed.
Also, to those who didn't pass -- the test was horrible, and not a fair judge of your knowledge and ability. Don't despair. You will be a good nurse, so just BELIEVE IN YOURSELF & stay positive. The test is b---sh--, and everyone passes eventually.
