I passed!!!!!

Published

Wow! That was the most harrowing 47 hours!

A couple of questions I can answer now that I know I passed:

1. Quick results are not "quick" but mine posted 47 hours after I began the test, so for those who ask if it is 48 hours from the beginning or the end, I think it varies, just keep trying to get them.

2. I had 265 questions, so YES you can pass with 265.

3. The PVT trick worked for me, I got the good popup 10 minutes after I left the test center and kept getting it for two days.

4. My Kaplan scores were not great BUT as a few of you responded, they don't have to be. As my instructor warned if your scores are a bit 'iffy', you can expect to get more questions.

5. I left the test center completely sure I failed...BUT I PASSED!!!

Scaredsilly, I am so happy for you!!! Congrats, congrats, congrats!!! My turn is coming up on Wed. the 25th. I AM SCARED SILLY. lol but it's weird, I have a good feeling about it this time. (My 2nd time). I've done so much studying that I am to the point I don' t know what to study. I know what I know and I don't think I can "learn" anything else that will help too much. I am going to continue to review my Hurst material though. Also I'm reading over the 35pg study guide from here that a few were so kind as to email to me. Again, I am so happy you passed and can now refer to yourself as ScaredSilly,RN. :-)

Good for you. You are right about the quick results. They aren't that quick, well unless you live in CA or a state that does not allow quick results. I checked mine at 47 hours 30 minutes, nothing. I checked at 48 hours 5 minutes they were there.

How about a job scaredsilly, RN? :woot:

Thanks everyone! Chel, Kaplan scores were not great. QBank was an average of 58. Q trainers were between 59 and 71. Readiness test was 55 the first time, 71 the second time.

Rob, unfortunately, I live in an area where new grad RN jobs are not easy to find. I spent a lot of time after I got my license number putting in applications, so I am hopeful. I do have a job in the medical field, but it isn't an RN job, so I can afford to eat as I look for jobs!
