You should be done with your preparation now, and definitely by 3 pm this afternoon. Tomorrow you need to take the day for you and leave every single book and piece of paper at home. Cramming is the worst thing that you can do with this exam. You should not look at one item tomorrow and that includes the computer and this website.

Best of luck to you.

okay I need a quick answer,taking test Thursday and studying my butt off,What are the most important lab values I need to know,how many questions with Acid base and bloodgases did you have?with meds how difficult did you find knowing when and what to give with meds to be?example in AM with or without food?Insulin ughh I know Regular is fast acting,only one given by IV in emergancy and draw it up 1st if using 2 different ones...
and while doing my study cd's I am still scoring in the 60-70's with some 80>but a majority in the 70% is this okay??it has been a month of studing and today will be my last true hard studing today,tomorrow I will take it easy with some last minute prep{going to stay at hotel night before exam}and 730 am gotta be there....I feel positive but dont want to jinx myself plus I have a tendacy to blank during some tests but have done better this year and well with Hesi.so any help would be great!!!!oh and my friend is also taking her's with me so that gives us each support as we did the whole program together and have been friends for years and will do our RN together....:argue:

I agree with Suzanne. Take tomorrow off!!! Relax and stay mentally fresh. Everyones test will be different be prepared to be asked about anything you learned while in nursing school. Your score seem ok, they are certainly better than mine were. When your mind goes blank, read the question again, take a deep breath and look at the question and answers again. Remember you can do this, you graduated from a nursing school so you are capable of doing this. Good luck and best wishes.:redpinkhe

Mine did too and it did for all the other students who were in my LPN class.......we all passed! It's a horrible feeling...the waiting and all. I was able to find out the next day, if I passed, by calling my state board of nursing. :nurse:

There is no BON that can give results over the phone, the employee if they do that is subject to being fired. For one very important reason as well as they have absolutely no way to prove that it is you over the phone.

And each time that anyone contacts there BON for this reason, it only delays everyone.

Just something to think about.

I live in VA and the BON in Richmond has an automated number that we can call and enter our SSN and it will tell us if we have license number:twocents:

That is a specific service, you did not call anyone at the BON directly and this is what was assumed when you posted what you did.

You called an automated number not any different from Pearson-Vue, there are many here that will assume that you just called your BON and asked and this is most definitely not the case.

This is the point that I am trying to make, you did not include all of the information with your post.
