Yes, I was at the Greenville Test center. How did I prepare....I did a ton of questions from the Mosby Q&A book and also the Saunders Q&A book and CD. I read up on what my predictor said I was weak in. But to be honest some of the questions seem so off the wall that no amount of studying would have helped. Some of the delegation questions and application questions were so foreign(by way of throught process) that I was completely unsure. Just stick with your studying and try not to go crazy while waiting for results.

CONGO RATS! good job!

I PASSED, I called up my BON in NC and got the news this morning! I was in such shock that I asked the nurse educator for my department to listen to the message just to make sure I did not have a severe mental breakdown! SO as of 1/20/2006 I am a RN in NC! Thank you to all of those that helped keep me sane over the past couple days. And to all of you out there still planning to take the NCLEX or waiting for results, YOU CAN DO IT!

Bleh...So I am hoping that I will get good news Friday morning here in NC. I have been bonkers over the past 2 days trying to calm down, but I just cant. Today I even made a list of items I knew I passed/failed/ and wasnt sure about. Right now looking at 12ish Items I knew I failed. Now most of those were patient teaching, patho related to a couple off the wall drugs (Ancillin, I mean come on), and I missed a couple of the check all that apply (Just remember everyone secondary syphilis causes alopecia too!). I just don't know what to think, everyone keeps saying that I did fine and not to worry, but that is WAY easier said than done. Please say a prayer for me!

Wow, those questions really threw me for a loop. Wish I could have a picture of what I looked like when the screen went blank on me at 75. After about 4-5 check all that apply, priorities and patient teachings, and those horrible "Floatnurse A comes up to your (insert unit here), which patients would you give them, and no medication calculations (though I did have pharm effect questions), I don't know what to think. Is it true no medication questions are a good thing? Well, my poor stomach is going to get an ulcer over the next 2 days. ECUstressing
