I passed!! I am an RN!!

Published

I am so happy to report that I am officially a Registered Nurse! :D

I had 75 questions, lots of meds (many I have never heard of), 5 SATA and 1 math questions.

I got to the testing center early and they let me start before my appointment time, which was great. ;) I started the questions and kept remember to forget the last question and focus on the question at hand. I just told myself this is like all the practice tests I have been taking the entire time. The next thing you know I am at 40 questions and I am like slow down Kim. (I am a bit of a fast test taker and need to remind myself to slow down :icon_roll) Anywho when I got to 75 I took a deep breath and click enter and the whole thing froze. I seriously though the computer broke because it froze on the question, I waited a few minutes and it said , congrates you have completed the NCLEX!!! Yahoo...:D I got up and walk out and was so happy it was over. The people were very nice and joked around with me, so it made the day less nerve racking. I left the test center, went to Starbucks and waited for my ride. :D

Truthfully I did not freak out. I wasn't for sure of course if I passed, but it was a such a relief to have it done and over with. I relaxed and didn't get nervous until the hours started passing...:bugeyes: My state boards does not do the quick result (48 states do, but CA is one that does not. :uhoh3:) So everyone was telling me I would be waiting at least a week or more. Thank goodness I got them this morning, less then 72 hours later. :D:redpinkhe (I was getting worried because I heard they take every other friday off and Monday is a holiday, so I thought it would take forever.)

**To the future RN's that have yet to take their NCLEX remember:

:redpinkheYou passed nursing school, this is just one more thing you have to do and you are there!

:redpinkheBefore you start, take a deep breath and just think of it as another practice test.

:redpinkheRead the entire question and remember the tips you learned in school. (We are professional test takers, we have been doing it for years!)

:redpinkheOnce you click next the only question you should be focusing on is the one in front of you, forget all the previous.

:redpinkheDon't study the day of the test or the day before, because once you get to the test you will be soooo tired you may not do as well.

:redpinkhe Remember, you can always take it again...of course nobody wants to , but that option is still there.

:redpinkheAnd last keep telling yourself before, during, and after...your going to rock this test. Positive thinking helps you more than you think. :D You WILL do it!!! (There is no I think I can, you know you will!!)

congratulations! . . . . . . . happy :redbeathe day!!!

i was wondering when did you take your exam? i took mine on the 11th, and i just found out that the ca bon was closed on the 12 and they will be closed again on 16. so now i don't know when to expect to be able to see if i even passed. mine shut off at 75, i don't even remember if i answered question 75 or if it shut down after 74, i was so cold and nervous. i just remembered i had a lot of meds, prioritizing, and health teachings, oh and only 1 sata, no calculations and no diagrams. thats why i'm so scared that i have failed.:down:

i know god is in control, and he is the only reason why i haven't lost my mind. during the exam psalm 23 was all that i could remember.

i took my exam on feb 11th, but please remember that there is no certain time for anyones test. i had a few friends take them the same day and they each got the results at different times. stay positive and wait until you get the actual results.

i know how you feel, i was praying the entire time. before i left my house i went in the room alone and had a nice long talk with him. :)
