Thank you Lizz!

I definately suggest a review course. The single best thing I did to prepare!

I took my test yesterday as well. It is the MOST nerve racking wait of my life, but you have to do just that....wait. It is easy to psych yourself out and be second guessing your ability when you are under this much stress, but you are likely to be dwelling on the things you didn't know or think you may have been answering incorrectly and not thinking about the many other things you did know between 0-75. Easier said then done, trust me, I know. Good luck to you

Cheers to that!

Thank you! I really appreciate it. The waiting is SO hard!

Congratulations!:balloons:

I took the test today, and like I expected from everyone's blog...I feek very unsure about how I did. Do many people not pass at 75? I am so nervous! :uhoh21:

Congratulations...sounds like you AND your wife deserve it!

I got 75 as well qwerty! Let's hope it's our lucky number! I had lots of priority and some teaching. Let me know when you get your result! Till then...

I will be braving the snow in Cleveland Ohio! How about you?

You may want to ask your program director or contact your state board of nursing. In Ohio the process was: 1. Fill out application for state board 2. Fill out application for test administrator (Pearson Vue) and pay for NCLEX (These two steps can be done concurrently and months before graduation) 3. School sends Letter of Completion to State Board 4. State Board releases Authorization to Test to test administrator 5. The authorization (ATT) is emailed to you and enables you to schedule your test. Test are offered 6 days a week with many available times/days. I was able to schedule a test just a few days after I received my ATT. In the meantime, visit the Pearson Vue website and locate the testing centers in your area. Also, start to map out your study plan now! By a book/cd/flashcards and consider signing up for a class or taking the HESI (predictor test) and identify your weaknesses. Then, concentrate your studying on these areas before you begin to do a general review. It is wise to take the test soon after you graduate, but you will want to leave some time to revist concepts you might not have covered in some time. I took about a month to take a course and do my own review. I feel that time was very adequate. It seems like you're really on the ball and that will certainly help you to be successful. My advice is to start the application process now, that way everything is in place when you finish school! Good Luck to you!

I take it tomorrow too, Qwerty! I am definately in the same no-sleep boat with you, but just think how exciting it will be to finally but those two letters after our names! Good luck to you!

Congratulations! I take mine tomorrow morning!
