Pass or fail boards?

Specialties CRNA

Published

Hi! Just found out today that I passed my boards!!!:balloons: I wanted to clear up a post that I read on here a couple of weeks ago. Someone had posted that if your test got easy at the end, that you more than likely failed your boards. Well, this made me sick for about 2 weeks until I got my results. My test got easy at the end and as you can see, this doesn't mean anything. You can still pass!!! So, you can't ever tell if you passed or failed until you have your results!!

My one of my best friends and Eagle Alumni - yeah that's you Pookie (inside joke, trust me) told me that his test got much easier the last 10 questions or so and he aced it.

So much for rumors.

Hello all. Been off the site for a while...was going postal on people I don't even know...intelligence was decreasing with each log in. Similar to what Yoga CRNA stated in her return posting....just wasn't worth it but the professional is. The saga continues.

Well, I am a friend of Melissa CRNA, and I am the "pookie" RN29306 is referring to. Passed the exam in 90 questions. The last ten or so were somewhat easy in nature, level one I would presume. However, all questions never really seemed to sway either way...they all seemed equally challenging and I can't honestly say I could tell the difference in diffuculty adjusting as I continued in questioning. I waited 14 days along with my good friends Marlboro, Jack, Jim, Crown, and Captain. Late one night, I checked the infamous FED-EX website under reference tracking and it showed where a package would be delivered to me the next day by 3pm. It stated that it weighed 0.5lbs...kind of a lot for paper I thought.

The next day I checked the AANA website at around 0830am and it stated my name, along with the precious letters CRNA, and it listed a recert date as well....I PASSED! I knew before I ever received the dreaded envelope.

I am guessing that the verification of certification on the AANA website only works if already a CRNA or it activates the day you are to receive the package d/t it always stating "not available" in all prior attempts to check on status.

When it did arrive, and was opened, there was a waxy, white envelope inside with an address label on it...NO CRNA initials behind the name as rumored before. The weight on the actual envelope was one pound, not 0.5lbs, as the Fed-ex website stated.

I reviewed Valley to prepare (Memory Master x 2, SB x 2, & MRs) one month prior to the exam....seven days a weeks several hours a day. I reviewed all along when I was in school too however. No cramming will exempt you on the big day. It was very hard and horrible. I am an A student and graduated with honors as well as about 1100 cases. I also passed the SEE with flying colors. However, I felt at intervals in that little quiz like I had never been exposed to anesthesia concepts/theory before in my life.

My only suggestion would be to supplement your Valley reading and exercises with a great text of your choice. Stay with what you are comfortable with.

Hope this helps clear some rumors for those waiting in line.....Good luck and don't forget the Bourbon!

Hey guys I'm new to the forum. I took my boards on June 13, 2006. It stop at ninety--I hope that is a good thing? It's June 29, 2006 and I haven't heard I thing yet? I been checking the AANA certification website and nothing there. I haven't recieved a package yet either. I"m dying here!!!!!!!!! If they send a package out they will send it by fed ex right? IF they send it by fed ex will I get a notice by e-mail that a package is coming? IS there any other way of finding out my results? How long does it take to get the results? This is killing me.
