you'll be in my prayers, i know how extremely hard it is to wait because i'm still waiting myself. :anbd: but all we can do is hope and pray for the strength to get us through this waiting period. good luck to you though!

CONGRATS TO ALL THE NEW RN's !!

whew--my internet was offline yesterday--i ususally come in here at LEAST once a day..but having missed a day , had to read pages of posts to catch up :)

LETJACKSON-

You absolutely do NOT get on my nerves, i know what you are going through--its good to see that even though you (GWAFUH and many others) are in "waiting-stress mode"--that you can still come in here and offer congrats and encouragement to others. !-very commendable.

good luck on your job search, any place SHOULD be happy to hire you-and treat you well because of the nursing shortage and they realize that you are "this close" to being an RN, that if they treat you well and you like it there--you may stay once you get your RN--to them its an investment.

--TODAY, i have jury duty--i never had jury duty before--im 38 years old !!!!--i was a cop for many years so i was EXEMPT ! now that im on "hiatus" from that , i got selected--so in a couple of hours i go in and do , whatever it is they do.--

HERES the irony:

ive waited soooo long to get back to work, (which i begin like next week)--imagine---that i get chosen for jury duty for a case that last MONTHS !!! or longer !!--uggghhhh--sooo NOT getting paid---NOT using my skills--"the powers that be" are truley funny indeed.

the worst part is waiting for your result and the other one is checking your name on the web between the 3rd and 10th day.Instead of seeing your name,you see "no records returned"

Please, don't give up! My friends took the test 1 and 2 days after me. Both of them got their license #s 2-3 days after the test (we are in CA and tested in the SAME center, graduated from the same school!). I just found this morning that I PASSED! For some reason BRN processes my license longer. I tested May 12 - got the number on May 22. I called BRN - my file was complete! Just some clerks work slower then others:nono: Don't give up and good luck to you and all others who are still waiting:uhoh21:

Ok guys.........I'm going NUTS.......all the waiting is killing me, and it has not been 24 hours yet:hhmth:!!!! Everyone keeps telling me to relax.......I CAN'T, there have been ppl who have failed with 75 ?'s:urgycld:. I didn't freak out during the test, I just answered the ?'s as best as I could......When I got home I started to panic, all sorts of questions started to pop in my head. Why did I get all those SATA, why did I get a repeat ?, why did I get a lot of priority and few delegations, why did I get so much infection control, why did I only get one calculation:banghead::grn::thnkg:.........I'm going insane...........I HAVE GOT TO RELAX. I know my BP is sky high, trying to hold it together!!!!!!

Ok guys...........I HAVE GOT TO RELAX. I know my BP is sky high, trying to hold it together!!!!!!

I can feel your pain. For me - it was impossible to relax. Some things that somehow helped - watching a good movie, yoga!!!, meditation (I used CD from the time I gave birth to my son:bugeyes:), reading a book (I finally read "the kite runner") and cooking. Getting busy with something you really enjoy. Good luck!:nuke:
