I feel hopeless already...

I took my exam 1/29/09, i had lots of priority and delegation q's, pharmacology but no computations, i had probably 10 SATA's, safety and infection control...it was hard. I thought that the computer will shut off at 75...but it did not, so i started to panic...i reached probably 108/109 when the computer finally shut off. I was shocked that it stopped. I'm not even sure if i got the last question right. It was a Thursday when i took my exam, it's Monday now and i haven't seen my name on BON site...well, i guess i didn't make it again. the last time time they updated it was 2/1/09... i am losing hope... i wanna call BON but people say that we shouldn't co'z that would delay the processing of the result. I am continuing my review again and hopefully waiting for my reaaplication form in the mail.

Do not assume anything until you get your results. Which BON are you with?

I'm from California, I took Kaplan review(live class), i did Saunders and learning extension ... when i left the testing site, part of me felt that i probably passed but now looking at the BRN site, and my name not on it...i suddenly felt that i bombed it again. It's a Monday here in CA and i got up early do my chores and now surfing the net hoping that i could fine something that could lift my spirits so i could start the week right...but now, i feel devastated. Should i call the BRN or not? i can't concentrate anymore with what i am reviewing right now, i just felt that i should start reviewing again. silly huh?

Until you get your results and with Ca that can take anything from 3-10 days I would not assume anything and just relax

Relax. Don't make yourself sick with worry. Instead work on something positive. Like updating your resume, making a list of potential employers. downloading online applications, you know, that stuff you are going to need for your job search. Is your CPR card up to date? Have you taken an employment physical within the past year? When was your last PPD? Get ready for work. That's positive thinking. If you find out that you failed, you can do your study plan when that time comes. As of now, get ready for a job. Now relax!

same here...we took it on the same date, still not seeing anything on the website...its devastating i know...

why not wait for the envelope before starting to study again? To allow some time for our brains to reboot...

that's what Im gonna do...

Best of luck to all who wish to pass!

I tried searching for name again on the site, but still not there...they last updated Feb. 2, Most of the people who passed, said that they've seen their names 2-3 days the most. I have colleagues telling me that if your name is not on the BRN in 5days max, it means that you failed. I was trying to call the BRN but it's hard to get through...the waiting is killing me. But there is no other way, but wait. Life is so hard.
