I conquered MT. NCLEX!

[jsome]

well, i've been on this site everyday since last Tuesday, Feb 10th, the day i took my nclex. i had 265 questions, 5 hours and 45 minutes, no math, one SATA, tons of teaching, last question i got wrong and i'm pretty sure it was below the line.

a classmate who took the test on the same day as me had her name posted on friday of last week. my name did not, i thought i failed. my window of hope was closing. i gave myself until wednesday morning because of the holiday for my name to post. the weekend creeped in tortoise fashion, i watched TWO seasons of WEEDS, did not shower. checked wednesday morning at 4 AM and my name was still not posted. my window was shut, blinds closed and i resolved my failure.

well, i got a call today from my classmate congratulating me for passing the nclex. i didn't believe her. i needed to see for myself. sure enough, my name was posted on the website and it was glowing, like a bright green neon sign. I PASSED! i keep going back on the site to make sure it doesn't go away like some sort of evil mistake.

i even sent off my retest application with a $75 check yesterday to get the ball rolling and hit barnes and nobles for MORE nclex study guides. and, didn't bother checking the website myself this morning because i didn't want to remind myself that i failed when it didn't show up. honestly, for the first time in a week, i slept like a baby last night because it was better for me to know i failed instead of hoping i passed. make sense? so when they say to wait for the official letter, it's really good advice because right when my window closed, the door swung wide open.

thank you allnurses.com and a special thanks to saint637 and lillianink for taking a virtual walk with me. for those that are testing soon, good luck! for those that passed recently, congratulations! for those that are retaking their tests, stay positive and keep trekking because the view is truly breathtaking! it's worth every sore muscle and bead of sweat. we'll be cheering you on.

THANK YOU!
