Just took my RN exam yesterday, and... feel so bad. Cannot help it to think I failed it... This is my second time to take it. The last time I took it was an year and half ago, I got more than 100 questions, and I failed.
This time, I really spent time preparing for the exam, since I have been out of nursing field for so many years, and it's much harder than I expected and the last time I took it. My brain was blank when I finished the exam. Couldn't remember what kind of questions I had, just memorized that I got a lot of prioritization questions, about 6 to 8. I even got one multiple choice question, when it appeared on my screen, I was so shocked and freaked out.
The computer shut down after I finished 75 questions. I almost cried it out at that time. Cuz I didn't think I do well for all those 75 questions. After I backed home, I kept thinking I failed... although my friends kept telling me that having 75 questions is a good sign. I read some msgs posted online and found there are still a lot of people failed with 75 questions... sighs... Don't know what to do next...
People told me I can go onto CA BON's web site to check if my name is on their licensing database. I did go check it... but since I took it on Friday morning, and it's weekend now, I guess I have to wait couple days... sighs...
yes, just double double double checked the web site... and i passed...

Don't know yet... Bay area or LA area... I have relatives in both area. Well, basically, I will try to find a job that I really want. Location is not my pirority consideration. :) However, my friends told me LA probably have more job openings there...

Mmm... Because of my complex background, I still want to try to find a job that will fit with all my education background and RN license. Will start to look for job very soon... :)
