got my att! you're right jon, people from pearson vue are just soo nice and really helpful..i have yahoo email and didnt receive the att even if she sent it twice, i had to give a different email account, and the customer service was so nice and told me that even if i received it in my email already, she's gonna send it by mail too..i haven't scheduled my exam yet coz i'm still undecided whether to take it end of june or first week of july..

congrats to all the new rns!! way to go you guys!!!

i sat for test on sat., may 10..and wasn't going to check the brn website for at least a week. but i just had to today :))..imagine my surprise when ,after entering my name, it came up with license number..omg..at first i sat in disbelief, then (shaking) started to dial my hubby's number and(while crying) "maaaark, how many irina's with this last name do you think there are in la?????? i think i passed but i am not sure...maybe it's some other irina????" (sobbing at the same time). ..omg, i really can not believe it..maybe only when i get an actual license in mail..i am at loss for words.. can it frigging be true???

this was my second attempt at nclex, first one was last june(96 questions) and i came out of test 99.9% sure i failed. this time even when i went to test i was as cool as a cucumber..partially b/c i am pregnant right now and the only thought that preoccupies my mind right now is what else to do to get rid of constant nausea (hehehe), sooo i never had time to be anxious about the test...even when i came out of test my first thought was "ok, let's quickly eat something" (teeheehee).

what did i use to prepare. one book that i really love is

illustrated study guide for nclex-rn, 6 edition(by joann zerwekh (author), jo carol claborn (author) )

the i just finished kaplan review course. actually, my exam was in two day after the last class.:))) everybody thought that i was crazy but i thought"hey, everything is still super fresh on my head, why not". so last class was on thursday and exam on saturday, i didn't even open a book or reviewed one question in those 2 days before exam(had other things on my mind,like my 3 y.o. mother's day concert and such).

exam itself, i found was quite a bit different from what i remembered last year. i felt like practically every other question was sata...or infection control. a few meds like psych,antibiotics, and one for osteoporosis. with med wuestions you have to really read the stem and look at answers, sometimes it's not really a med type answers but they really want to test you on safety and such. anywho, i got about 70 q in 2 hours and took a break(had to eat something cause i started to feel nausea coming up).after the break felt refreshed, came back and really took my time with every following question. after 75 computer said bye-bye,go do a questionnaire. that's it, came out ate the rest of my bagel with cream cheese and called my hubby to come pick me up. this time i was not stressing atall. i remember last year when my husband attempted to "i ma sure you passed",i was ready to kick his butt hehehe..this time i was really ok..had a sense of calmness.

i am sorry about such a long post, i always tend to go on, and on,and on..:)))

good luck to all who are studying!!! i will be sending you a positive pass vibes!!

so..ehhhh..do ya think i can start celebrating..is it really my frigging name on brn website????agrrrr .:)))))))))))))))) geeeeesh...i better and make myself a cup of tea :))))

Hello all,

I moved my test up to tomorrow, (who knows why) and I am really anxious about it. Please pray for me (or cross your fingers, if that's more your thing) and all the others in this group that are taking it on the 14th!! I really cant believe that tomorrow at this time I will be done with the NCLEX, one way or another... eeeek.

I will keep you posted, just got to remember to breathe, right?

[craveme]

Good luck and you will be in my prayers, you can do it and will pass!
