I took my NCLEX exam on Wed, Aug 18th, and found out today that I passed! My computer shut off at 75 questions, which had me worried. Now that I know that I passed, and I'm going to apply for a job, I'm really nervous. Nursing school is so much different than the reality of an actual RN position. Is it just me or is this a normal feeling to have. I guess my worry is that I will be expected to know everything when actually I feel that I don't know enough.

dont stress out now, the exam is done, relax, have a margarita w/salt and enjoy your accomplishment!
yes! it will be hard starting out and no, they will not expect you to know everything. if you did, that would be a very scarey thing!!!

CONGRATULATIONS Firesun !!!! :balloons: I just started working this past week as an RN and I can relate to the feelings you have. But you know what..I believe everyone has those feelings and after surviving the first two days at work (which mainly consisted of paperwork signing, etc.), I've learned that they don't expect you to know everything....that's why they orient you to your new position.
