Just took the boards

Published

Okay..slight anxiety attack occuring at the moment. So I took my RN boards and walked out wondering "WHAT THE HELL JUST HAPPENED!!!". I mean dammit I studied for how long and still feel I had a difficult time, even with questions I think were meant to be easy. My friend said if you do well during the test the questions just get more and more difficult. I couldn't tell the difference between what was meant to be difficult and what was meant to be easy. This is killing me. I think I can find out my results Thursday. Is this normal?? To make matters worst the computer shut off at 75. All I could think is if only I had a few more questions to prove myself. I hope the ones I got wrong were the 15 mock questions..:o

Hey everyone. I'm new here. Well I was browsing through the website for about a month or so. Just wanted to share with you my feelings. I just came home half an hour ago from the test. I was going for a long ride. I actually ran out of time at 262 questions and don't know what to think. I guess I'm on the border line here. Does anyone know how are they gonna decide if I passed or not if I ran out of time?

To tell you the truth I won't even be upset if I didn't pass, because I will find out what my weak areas are. FYI I finished nursing school in Russia and when I came here 4,5 years ago I didn't speak a word in English. I couldn't afford to go to school, so I was just studying English on my own at home and practicing it on the street or at the store. And here I am now, took 262 questions and proud to say that computer didn't think that I'm an idiot at 75 questions (For those of you who only had 75 questions, nothing personal. I was talking about myself. For those who passed at 75- you are my heroes). So I still have a chance.

Thank you for sharing your experience. Your determination is inspiring.

Congratulations! :yeah:

Waiting for the result is like you're in a state of shock and you don't know what to think of. you like to think positive but in the back of your mind, you're being pessimistic.

Took mine yesterday and i still can't do anything. my mind is pre-occupied on how i perform in the test. i stopped at 145 and i'm pretty sure that i have loads of easy questions answered wrong. i wish i pass the test like you.

I am expecting miracles this time.

Congratulations again and time for you to celebrate!
