Passed my boards Saturday

Published

Wow..

I am very excited.

The computer shut off at 85 questions, I was very concerned that I had not prepared

adequately..but I was wrong.

So I guess the boards God smiled on me..:)

(it's been a while since I practiced..now for the real world again..)

congrats!!!!! what a wonderful way to start the new year. i hope you have a very rewarding nursing career!!:yeah:

Are you trying to pass the RN boards. and for what state ??

The NCLEX exam is based on Nat'l Council of State Boards of Nursing..as I guess you know...I was under the impression they forced you to take a certified refresher course, in your situation..

I passed my PN boards..which I am sure are way easier than RN boards.

I had not practiced in several years, so I used Lippincott's study guide, and the Chicago Pharmacology Review.

The CD rom included with both allowed me to be more portable, and also mimics the rate adaptive testing.

I just did my best to memorize everything I could..and also got a nursing PDR to review.

Also..your state board should provide you with a written results, so you can review your strong and weak

areas ??

Regards..

I have a question for anyone who might know... I took boards on the 31st of December in Cali, is there a delay in receiving the results on DCA website because of the holiday, or if you passed should the results be up already? I'm in panic mode here!!! I thought that if in fact I did pass, I would see it posted by today. Second, I was told by several people that if the computer turns off after you answered a question "correctly", thenyou most likely passed? Has anyone else been told or experienced that myth? The computer turned off after I answered #85 and I know for a fact I answered it right! I guess I'm just looking for some encouragement. I know if I don't see my name posted by Monday...well, you know.
