Dear Ivanna,

I took my Boards on June 21st...I got 75 questions and honestly thought I failed. I even went to my local Library to get "new" NCLEX review books! 4 days later I saw that I had passed! I honestly thought I failed. Hang in there!

Hey all Happy July 4th!! :balloons: Is there anyone that took boards this week?? I did yesterday, and with the holiday, I don't think I will get results til Friday. I only got 76 ?s and I am just a wreck. Ive been told that noone ever feels like they passed when they leave, but GEEZ! I didn' think it'd be this stressful. ~Ivanna

my friend took hers on 2nd and it caught off at 75 and she passed. what books did you use.

Janenkoli, I did a 3 day face to face review course with the folks from HESI. I used the saunders book with the cd rom... i did about 1000 questions in the last 2 weeks. Ahhh. I hope I will get good news.

Thanks for the support! I feel a lil bit better. ~Ivanna

It never gets any easier. Its been 5 years since i took mine and i STILL remember that nauseated feeling after i left after only 76. Hadnt ever felt like that after a test in my life. I passed, you most likely will too.

I bet you did GREAT. We'll be waiting to hear your good news!

Same here (actually only 4 years ago) - Worst feeling in my entire life. I couldn't believe it was over one way or the other, and completely out of my hands at that point in time.

Good Luck and hang in there.

I took mine on the 27th of June, got either 75 or 76 questions, and I passed. My test was on a Wednesday and I hoped to be able to look the next day and get my results because one of my classmates found out the day after she took hers, but I wound up waiting 2 days and having to pay for the information ($7.95 for quick results through Pearson Vue). The information didn't come up on my nursing board web site until July 3rd. What bugged me a little bit is that 2 other classemates took their test on Monday, July 2 and found out the next day on the same nursing board web site - so they didn't have to pay to find out in a timely fashion. I think it's a ploy to test your sanity!

I'll bet you know by now, and I'll bet you did well.
