Vcannon, total congrats to you!!!!!!! :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

Its been a little over a year now, and I still get jazzed when I think about that fateful moment that I logged on and found I'd passed. I think proceeded to bug the state until they gave me my number (grin. Impatient bastard, ain't I??) Seriously, though, I took it once after doing the Kaplan thing, but busted it -one question short of the entire number. I was totally devastated. I'd never failed anything beyond a quiz, and certainly never an important test. I reviewed with Saunders (the big green book) and passed with the minimum questions (75). I had nightmares about that test.

I STILL have the results from my 'pass' at Pearson (as soon as I got it, I printed out a dozen copies from the website -then when the state sent me the certification letter making it "official", I scanned that, made a copy for files, and framed the certificate, hung it on my wall in my computer room.

I love reading from people who just passed. It brings back the sheer joy I felt when I found I had, too.

Enjoy it! You've earned it.

For the one who asked for advice for those still suffering, sadly, there isn't anything anyone can do to make your wait any less painful. But if you haven't taken the test, I will recommend the Saunders RN Review book -I have yet to find anyone who has gone through the book cover-to-cover and not passed. I felt so strongly about it, I wrote a review for the book -something I never do.

Good luck. And congrats again to those who passed!

Do the assigned reading and if you have any questions about the material...don't hesitate to ask your instuctors. Another good thing is to form a study group, it's always nice to hear other nursing students ideas and methods of studying. Good luck to you.
