Good luck to you Hopeful.....I have the same issues as you, and I pray the both of us passed!

nursecrickett, hey i'm having anxiety here gosh and can't decide if i'll take that darn exam on thursday . pls. i need someone to talk to can you email me ur number so i can call you. need advise about the exam !!!
:roll
The only advise I have is this.....I have none!!!
I did the Saunders CD rom for 2 straight weeks......15 hrs a day......it was my life. It helped to jog my memory about diseases and things like what would I do first.
I took the exam, and when I sat down, I thought.....oh my goodness.....I've never heard things put this way.
Now, whether that was the schooling I had (I found out today that Maric College only has a 67% pass rate!!!), I don't know. Tell me that wouldn't stress you out!
Well, on another note.....I am not the one to ask about this exam. My mind has played so many tricks on me, its not funny.
Just go in there knowing things to the best of your ability and hope thats the stuff they ask you!!
Let me know if you take it!!
I forgot.....the other thing I wanted to tell you that my class graduated in Oct.
Everyone I know has postponed taking it except 4 of us. One took it in early Jan. and has passed.
The other 2 took it with me last Friday......and if you think wondering whether you should take it or not is bad......I think the anxiety of waiting for the results is worse!!!!! :roll

Hey myabutrn,
You should install aol instant messenger and msn instant messenger. They are both free IMs, and if you go to aol.com you can find instructions on how to install, or msn.com the same thing.
When you do it, let us all know your IM.....

Good Luck tomorrow Myabutrn....
I'll be praying for you. Keep thinking positive, you'll do great!
My best friend took her exam yesterday, her computer shut off at 85 and she had tons of maternity and peds questions, unlike me, I had a variety of questions but my computer also shut off at 85. I'm the only one in my graduating class that took Indiana Boards - everyone else took Kentucky and their questions were alike (lots of Maternity & peds), so I don't know if there is a difference in board questions??? I would guess so. Anyway, no one has failed from my class yet and we had a graduating class of 27!
I thought for certain I failed and those 2 days of waiting were pure h, e double hockey sticks!!!!!!!! Almost felt like I was waiting to find out if I was dying or not!
But once I found out I passed it was so much a relief, I knew I had my life back! SANITY!!!!:)
Tell yourself "you can and will pass that exam"!!!!!
