I passed!

Published

After 22 agonizing days, my name is finally on breeze!!! I am an RN! :) My advise to those waiting in ca is to call the bon. It may have just been a coincidence, but I called this morning and my name finally appeared tonight. I am beyond relieved right now. To everyone still waiting, believe in yourself.

As far as study tips: I love Saunders. I didn't make it to the end of the book this time, but it really helped me to understand content. Kaplan questions are very similar to nclex question. Also, the screen looks exactly the same, which helped me a little with the anxiety. I didn't find the Kaplan online review helpful at all though. Also, if you work full time and it is at all possible, take at least a week off of work before the test. I found this incredibly helpful.

Okay, a bit long, but I am SO happy right now. Being able to come on the site and know I wasn't alone has been wonderful. Good luck to all of you future nurses out there. Don't ever give up.

Oh my goodness!! That's awesome! Congratulations.. i just left a comment on the other post because i knew you had tested the day before me and was wondering if you'd heard anything yet.. I have called the board of nursing three times. the first time was week two... the lady i talked to said my license number should be posted by the end of the week and if it wasn't, to call the ca BON back and tell them that my license hadn't been posted. i took that as "you passed". when the end of the week came and nothing was posted... i called back and got gayle who was completely bothered by my call and was not trying to give up any information at all. she told me she didn't know why the previous person told me to call back by the end of the week because the results take 4 to 6 weeks. then i called on week three and got Gayle again!!! she was the same as before and told me it takes 4 weeks.. so i better hear something this week :(
