I am so happy to report that I am officially a Registered Nurse!
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... 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.
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... My state boards does not do the quick result (48 states do, but CA is one that does not. ) 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. :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. You WILL do it!!! (There is no I think I can, you know you will!!)

Congrats...had just taken my exam and i have only 1 SATA others are lots of priotize,meds,health teachings, no calculations or diagram and its really are a brain storming...had stop at 75 Q, had anyone has the same situation and pass or fail the exam????it really keeps bothering me......
Just to clear up a few misconceptions concerning Quick Results. It was mentioned that there are 48 states that participate in Quick Results, and that only two do not.
This is most definitely not correct. Actually it is just over 1/2 that do. At last count, it was 27 that were involved with the Quick Results. So CA is far from being the only one or two that do not.
Best of luck to all of you that are waiting for your results and Congratulations to those of you that have received your results and have passed.
