Just took NCLEX and no one knows

[TPerezRN]

I just took my NCLEX after putting it off for months.(like a lot of months:o) I didn't tell anyone that I was taking it for two reasons. One I didn't want any added pressure of everyone asking me about the exam before or after. Two I want to surprise my mom. I think she has been more stressed out and worried these past few months about me putting off the exam than I have. Well I guess 3 reasons because I also don't want to have to admit it to anyone if God forbid "the worst" happens:confused:. I just googled the pearson vue trick and I think I got the "good pop up" it said something along the lines of our records indicate you just scheduled an exam recently another exam cannot be scheduled at this time. I think the exam went well I don't feel bad about it at all. Im so excited and I have no one to tell!! lol I think I remember one of my classmates getting her results in 48 hours I don't remember hearing anyone ever mention the accelerated results option. I'm not really sure if i have to pay the $7.95 for accelerated results I just found out about that for the first time today after reading someone's blog post on here. I guess if I don't have the results in 48 hours I will be paying that $7.95. On one hand I feel like I shorted myself by not telling anyone. I wanted to be corny and post it on social media like I do everything else:bag:. I may have shorted myself from getting all those good luck texts and calls but then again does it really matter? I don't know. Now I've taken the exam and I have no one to talk about it with and thats literally allll I want to do right now lol. I can't even ask anyone that I know that it's taken it already for any advice on how long it took them to get their results or how to look up on the State Board website I'm sure it won't be hard I'll be able to Google it myself but it would've been nice to have someone to share this experience with. Even though I feel all of these things in the same step I also feel like I taken an immense amount of pressure off myself.All of my friends said they wanted to go home and cry after the exam and I don't feel that way at all. I normally feel that way about everything and i'm normally pretty dramatic. I feel so relaxed I don't feel like I took the NCLEX today. It's as if it never happened. I Came home today and no one knew. My mom served me dinner and I ate with my siblings like a normal day:cool:. I didn't have to tell anyone that there were certain things I didn't understand or about those questions that I know I got wrong for sure. I'm just in a weird limbo right now until I receive my results I guess but I am feeling more good than bad about it. I just needed a place to get this all off my chest and I actually feel better now.

When I was getting ready for NCLEX, I would always tell everyone the day that I was going to take it when they asked. I never really thought about it like OMG what if I don't pass and have to tell everyone when they ask how it went. Luckily my state (Pennsylvania) does quick results and I bought it. I took my NCLEX on a Friday in the afternoon and I found out that Sunday night via quick results that I passed. I was actually at a jewelry party that my friend was hosting and a few of my high school teachers were there and they knew I was waiting on my results so it was nice to have them right there when I got my unofficial results. My license was posted the next day (Monday) and my mom was mad at me for spending the $8 to get my results but I told her that I've spent more on less and I got the best night's sleep that night.
