I Passed w/ 75Q!

Published

So I decided to share my story hopefully to help others as others have helped me. I prepared for the by taking the kaplan classroom course, using saunders comprehensive review 4th ed cd, ncsbn 3 week course and saunders flashcards. I studied for about 2 months and did over 6000 questions. I used a lot of tips from this forum to supplement what I was already using to study. I went into the exam thinking I wasn't prepared, but didn't want to delay taking the exam any longer.

I had about 15 sata, lots of priority, infection control, delegation, 2 calculations and some teaching (I got scared when I saw these as I read people who didnt pass got a lot of these questions). I also had a few peds questions and 1 ob question and was surprised by how much I got. I read on this forum that some people had barely any. It stopped at 75 questions and I was there for almost 3 hours. I got scared when it stopped as I thought I didn't do well with the questions I was given. I wished it continued on. Like everyone else I thought I failed. I even went home and double checked some of my answers and I answered them wrong. I suggest that no one does that as it just increases the stress and anxiety in waiting for your results. I found out I passed this morning and now "got the monkey off my back!" Next for me is trying to a job in this flooded Bay Area new grad market. I dont know how this happened, as a year and a half ago hospitals were going to our school trying to recruit new grads.

Good luck to those who haven't taken the exam yet, and congrats to those who have passed.

Congratulations!!! I also second not looking up questions after the exam. The anxiety I experienced from that was so not worth it.
