The nervousness has kicked in. I usually did very well in school, and it seemed like NONE of the questions I had I could definatively answer. I got 85 questions...I came home and had a good cry...

Gosh darn...I thought school was hard...lol

Any tips to relieve the anxiety while waiting?

Good Luck. I don't have any advice to relieve the waiting for you. I just took my PN boards just over a week ago, it shut off at 85 questions, and I thought for sure I had failed. I had similar feelings as you are having now. Found out on Saturday a.m. (two days later) that I had passed.

I called the DON at my school and told her. She said she knew I passed (because it shut off at 85 q's.) Yes it CAN go either way, but with the majority of people that it shut off at 85, they more than likely passed.

Hope it worked out for you, and keep us informed!!
