I am still trying to grasp the fact that about 1 hour ago I found out that I passed boards. I am in shock.
I also want to express how sorry I am to nursy2be. You are in my prayers.

wonderful news, congratulations!
I had 75 questions. I can tell you to calm down and all the time knowing that is impossible to do. I did 100-150 NCLEX questions a day as my study. I had 2 of the new innovative questions that were pick all that apply. I personally did not have any psych questions or ob. I had alot of med/surg and prioritizing. I did have several pharm questions. The only advice I can tell you is to remain confident. You did not get this far by chance, so keep that in mind when taking the test. Always go with your gut first, and do not read into the question. Dont do the what if I do this and then they react. Just read the questions and answer. Chin up, and I wish you the very best of luck.:)
Hi BSNgrad,
I just wanted to let you know I tested on Thursday and got my results online today (Saturday). Although PearsonVue says you have to give it 2 full business days, obviously results are sometimes available before then. I was worried that I'd have to wait until Tuesday because of the Reagan holiday yesterday and the weekend. I just kept checking the PearsonVue website for the heck of it and found that my results were suddenly available this afternoon.
Best of luck to you! This test sucks, but it only makes us stronger, right? :)
Take care,
IowaKaren

I was the same way, took my test on Thursday and they said it would be Monday before I heard also. Just kept checking and there it was. I felt I didn't know a thing (well, not as much as I should but guess enough to pass anyway). I kept my eyes closed until it was completed downloaded and about passed out from excitement. I felt almost certain I would be taking it over also. The computer shut down after 76 questions, didn't have any dosage calculations, none of the new testing questions, alot of prioritizing, isolation precautions, a few med.'s and labs. I figured since I didn't get any new test questions or dosage calculations, I must have failed to get that far. Was I surprised. All those practice questions I did for the past month paid off and certainly helped my critical thinking skills.
