I was so scared thrusday and I kept doing the PV test thingy but it didn't ease my anxiety much. I have cried and threw up for the last 2 days. My test shut off at 85 questions and I felt I didn't know anything. It was the worst 2 days of my life. I looked at my quick results today and I PASSED.... I AM A NURSE. I worked so hard to get here, through many nights of studying, crying, yelling, throwing my books lol.. Good luck to everyone.. Now on to try and find a job

Congratulations!
I remember those 2 days...the longest 2 days of my life! I had to stay out of the house to keep myself from logging in and refreshing the State Licensure website every 5 seconds. I was completely shocked when the test shut off, I didn't feel like I'd answered nearly enough questions. A couple of them were about Addison's disease, and all I could remember about that was salt craving and bronze skin--but there were no answers with either of those. I felt so stupid!
Anyway, good luck on the job search. Again, congrats!

Congrats!! Im getting ready to take mines. May I ask what did you study?
Teeniebert, I was on that pearson vue websit almost every hour last night registering to make sure I was still getting the popup message. Then this morning I saw that my results were in but I had to register just incase something changed lol. They just paid my money and got my results, I closed my eyes and my husband grabbed me outta the chair hollering and hugging me so tight so I knew I passed. Even though they are no official results I still had to print it out so I could look at it all day. It still has no sank in. I keep saying "when I become a nurse...." lol I AM A NURSE lol wow feels weird to say that.
Khobson, I studied HurstReview with the author Marlene, I read that book 4 times cover to cover and did over 1000 questions I also read Nclex PN for dummies and read that book twice.
To me that test was aweful. There were things on there I had no idea about, such as some kind of ultrasound machine I had no idea. and then there were a few meds. What ticked me off the most as some answers didn't make sense to me at all, they just didn't go with what I would have done. I felt like I guessed on most of that test. When that test shut off at 85 questions I started to panic thinking I failed for sure. I am going go to go onto my RN. I went straight through school but I was going through divorce, marriage, new house, moving a family death and I stayed with my dog for 9 days while she was dying trying everything meds etc till we had to put her down, So I Failed my Last Class which was Critical Care by 1.4 Points. YEP ONE POINT FOUR POINTS..... fought like hell to graduate as an RN but teacher wouldnt have it.. I couldnt get back in school cause I also lost my job cause I broke my foot, so I didn't have the money for tuition.. so I decided to take my LPN. But I will still fight and still go on..
Khobson. Good luck to you. Please let me know how you did.. write me anytime
