NCLEX today!

Published

well the dreaded test finally arrived. I slept HORRIBLY last night, but thankfully the test wasn't until 1515 this afternoon (2 hours drive). I got up at a reasonable time (0830) took my time getting ready and drove down and met a former co-worker for lunch. Having lunch with her was nice...took my mind of the test. Well I finally got to the test center at about 1415 (first one there for the afternoon session, heheh!) They allowed me to go through the whole registration part and start whenever ready which was great that I didn't have to sit for an hour.

I did good at staying fairly calm during the first part of the test...but when I hit 73 my hands started shaking and my heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. Well...at 75 it shut off, so now I know I did very goodl or very bad. I am trying to think very good! :specs: I wanted to throw up the entire way home. I called my mom who apparently was anxiously awaiting my phone call.

All in all I feel I did the best I could have done. Nothing was going to prepare me fully for that thing. I got many priority questions, which I like. I also got 5 check all that apply (which I HATE), 3 math, other various, MANY ONCOLOGY...ick! Oh well, thank god for quick results...think they'll put them up early ;)

ANother good thing...got home to a message on the answering machine from the hospital I've been applying to saying that IF (when) I pass boards they want to set up an interview with me. Pray for me!

Best of luck FirePup. I'm sure you did EXCELLENT, most people (in my experience) PASS when they only get 75 questions. Keep us posted on your results. Oh and your lucky you get Quick Results, Cali doesn't do it!

I'm sure you have passed at 75, and how exciting that you already have the hospital knocking at your door!!!

I remember the feeling when the computer shut off (mine did at 75 as well). I just sat there thinking, "Hey wait a minute, I know more, ask me something else!"

Hope you get the results soon!
