I cannot believe it. After a lot of prayer and faith in God, I saw that wonderful word on the Pearson website: PASS. My mouth went dry and my heart started racing. I'm rarely ever up early on the weekends, but I just had to check the site this morning and when I saw the quick results option, I freaked. I have been on a high since then.

This forum truly helped me get through the grueling 48 hr. wait. All the posts were right on target about the anxiety of the wait and the feelings of failure after taking the exam. My exam consisted of a lot of infection control, prioritization, weird meds(meds, meds, and more meds), and some patient teaching questions. There were at least 5 multiple response questions and 1 math question. I had no graph and no click and drag.

When the computer shut off at 75, I quietly got up and walked out in a daze. When I got outside and the air hit me, I felt sick. I called everyone I could on my cell phone to get some well needed therapy. The countdown to my wait had begun and I need to occupy my time since I thought I had failed. The wait kills, but it comes if you keep yourself busy and keep the faith.

But here I am happy to say that I am officially done with that dreadful exam and that I passed it.

Best of luck to all of you that are going to take it and congratulations to those, who like me, passed. Take a deep breath, read each question and the options carefully, and do your best. As many others have said before, you really do know more than what you think.

In a state of bliss,

Melody (a new RN)

Thanks, Suzanne.

I have to admit that although I did not do all of Suzanne's plan, I did incorporate your first tip into my study plan during the last 2 weeks. In addition to doing all chapters in the Saunders book, I did all 1,200 questions on Mosby's flashcards and took the Kaplan course in my school. It was great preparation since it provided a large number of questions on a lot of material.

Congrats to both of you. I also just took my NCLEX and passed with 75 questions. I definitely understand that feeling of panic after the test and the long 48 hours. I stayed in bed the day after the test so I would stop checking the computer. Keep praying for those who still have to take it (one of my best friends is taking it on tuesday). Congrats again.
