just passed NCLEX and scared to go out there

Published

well i just passed my NCLEX last week and pretty much need to start working.

To begin with i am excited and don't even know where to start in terms of looking for a job.

Secondly I am somewhat scared of starting on a job, what will i do when situations arise???

Any help and any advise on how to calm my fears and where to start looking for a job.

First off, congrats on passing your boards :yeah: . Secondly anything new is scary. Just take things one day and one thing at a time. Don't be afraid to ask questions. It is the only way to learn. Take care Shannon

Congrats:yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah:,hopefully I will follow and then I can learn from your posts...took my nclex yesterday and not feeling so confident

thanks so much for your encouragement.

I felt the same way after i took my exam and would you believe i was checking every 2 hours to see if the results where there (yes i know a bit obsessive) but i was anxious and nervous to find out.

Honestly as everyone says you never know. Good luck though let me know what your results are.:wink2:

Take a deep breath!! I dont know one nurse who didnt leave thinking they failed. We will be saying congrats to you soon!! :nurse:

Just wanted to Thank everyone on all nurses for there help and support. I took my exam on November 11 08 and passed with I believe to be 76/77 questions. I cannot explain the wonderful feeling that it is to be a RN :) :nurse:

I HAVE APPLIED MYSELF FOR SO MANY MONTHS AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT PRACTICE + PRAYERS = SUCESS.

I THANK GOD EACH AND EVERYDAY FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY , I COULD HAVE NOT GOTTEN THROUGH THIS WITH OUT HIM ...

GOOD LUCK TO ALL :nuke:

What #did it stop?! Can you tell me more of your experience while taking the nclex? i took mine last nov 12 and still waiting for the results. Goodluck!

:D

And of course you were checking every two hours.

Take a deep breath and start looking for a job. Just remember:

They can't scare you, you're a nurse.

i forgot what # it stopped because i wasn't focused on I know it was after 85. Reason being i was so nervous that it had passed 85 that i wanted to go to the bathroom desperately and i was thinking to myself while answering the questions if i could even hold it for the break.:chuckle:bugeyes::bluecry1:

next thing i know while deep in my thoughts the thing shut off. Crazy isn't it.

Let me know how you did. I know exactly how you feel right this minute

:rolleyes: I am still waiting for the results right now. I stopped at #85 and had several ? about meds, select all that apply, 1math, and a lot of prioritizing. I am really scared because when I got home, I check some of the ? i remember and found out that my asnswers were wrong!:o:o:o:o

:ancong!: Now you've had a few days for everything to sink in, soooo, smile to yourself and calmly look for a job. If you can graduate from school and pass the NCLEX, then you can survive job hunting! :p
