Well I can relate to that NDodd....it was all a blur this AM....it didn't help that I only slept two hours last night....tried to go to bed at 11 and tossed and turned for four hours...had to give up on sleeping, took a shower, and had a two hour nap before I got ready to leave.
I was the 2nd one seated out of the other 8 classmates that were there this morning (they let us start ~40 minutes early)...I finished in less than an hour, had 75 questions and was the first to finish (nothing worse than standing in the parking lot by yourself!)...my hand was so sweaty they couldn't get a fingerprint off of me when I finished and made me show them my ID! LOL
I ended up going to lunch with my friends, had an ice cold beer (helped me relax) and then the fatigue hit when I got home! (Oh yeah, also witnessed a police chase on the interstate on the way home!) What an eventful day.
I called the BON to ask how long it takes them to post the results on the web and the lady asked for my SSN... of course I wasn't in the system and she told me to call back Monday, she would tell me if I was "licensed or not"...I'm dreading it! (VA doesn't participate in Quick Results)
I took the test yesterday 7/8 and it was by far the hardest thing i've ever done. It shut off at 101 and I really have a bad feeling about it. I felt like there were no easy questions, I got very little delegation and priority, mainly labs and disease processes. I can't shake this sinking feeling, and this waiting game is killing me!

Anyone else testing tomorrow?
I'm going to the test site with 3 of my friends from nursing school so I guess we can all cry together on the way home.... (have also heard through the grapevine that there will be at least 4 other classmates there too!)
It just really hit me last night that tomorrow is 'D-day' and now I'm incredibly anxious. I've been practicing lots of questions and doing fairly well; except that I'm always finding SOMETHING that I never learned in nsg school! I did another Mosby CAT exam and it kicked my questions up a bit in difficulty, still got a 99% chance of passing so hopefully thats a good sign.
On the superstitious side of things, I played a $5 scratch ticket on Tuesday and won $50...then I bought a $10 scratcher yesterday with my winnings and won $70! I'm saving my 3rd stroke of luck for tomorrow!
(I know I don't post very often but have been reading the boards religously since graduation, but I had to vent!)
Good luck everybody!!!
