NCLEX distraction

Published

So I took the dreaded NCLEX today and besides leaving there feeling unworthy to be a nurse I am really kind of frustrated. The Air Conditioning was not working so the room was, in my opinion, very hot and became distracting for me. I had to take a break to get some air around question 84 and when the lady asked why I was taking an unscheduled break I told her it was really hot so I needed a breather. She then said she'd have to do a report on the fact that I said that. What the heck? Now my results are on hold for the Pearson Trick on top of being aggravated by the test setting. I am fairly confident that I failed and am afraid I am about to lose my job which I absolutely love because of it... I guess I can just hope for a miracle at this point.

Thanks for letting me vent!

Did you get the pop up?

Unfortunately I got the "The candidate currently has test results on hold. A new registration cannot be created at this time" pop-up which isn't the good pop-up but it's not the credit card page either which means there's hope but a longer wait. The anticipation is killing me! I am working as a GN in the ER and LOVE my job. I have to work tonight 7p-730a and same shift again tomorrow. It's going to kill me to have this on my mind :(

Wishing you the best. And I think you were right about speaking up. You had the right to make a formal complaint. They were supposed to provide an adequate environment for you to test in. Their problem, should not have been your's. Good luck.

Dont worry too much. Just pray! Thats the best you can do. And they are wrong for getting upset at you for the comment. I mean how can you give your best on an exam this hard if conditions are that horrible!! I really hope you pass, I am taking mines tommorrow. God Bless us all.
