I am literally scared to death. Every time I think about it now my hands start shaking. I studied really hard at the beginning of summer but then I had to have some stuff be approved from my state's BON- so I was more worried about that for a bit. I started out with Hurst but then my friend passed with Kaplan and gave me the rest of her Kaplan online stuff. I do ok on the qbanks-- like 50-60 and 1 random 88. But then I took the Kaplan readiness exam and got a 55! :/ but when I take the Hurst test reviews (which is actually what I purchased) I get 85-90s. My ATI predictor exam I got a 94% on my first try.
I just feel like I waited so long to take this exam. Nursing school was hell. My husband divorced me during fall semester my senior year and my dad also passed away from liver failure a couple months later (he was an alcoholic)-- needless to say- I wasn't focused and I failed a class. So I took spring semester off, didn't graduate with the class that I had spent the last 4 years with, and repeated my senior year and graduated with 3 people that I knew. I still graduated in the top 10% of my class, but I don't want to screw this up. I get so scared of picking the wrong answer that I start to overanalyze and read more into the question......
Can I just have some prayers for some inner peace? I'm literally hoping that I can prove to everyone that I'm not a huge disappointment. I know the content- I'm just scared. Please.
good luck on your exam todayI'm in Ohio and the wait time is 45 days. will mail my application by friday. just got my packet from the BON and it looks like I was very close to passing so Keep up with what i was doing and take it again later next month.
Thank you everyone for all the prayers!!! I was cool, calm, collected, and confused! LOL. My weak point is L/D and I swear that's pretty much all I got so I was feeling pretty scared when I got to 115 questions and the computer shut off. But, I did the PVT and I got a good pop-up! My state does participate in quick results so I might as well fork over the money to make it official. :) thank you soooooo much for the prayers!!!
Congratulations! I know how you felt, it's a HUGE deal. I tested at 2pm today. I was soooo scared as well. I could barely breathe and I am not normally an anxious person. Also in ohio. 75 questions and the good pop up. Phew!
