I passed!!!!!! I am so happy!! And I thought " I have to tell lady scrubs" and I'm sorry about your fall!! I fell on ice four years ago and shattered my ankle, had to have an ORIF! Definitely not a fan of ice! Hope you're not injured. And thank you for your kind words.

Well I took it today! Holy moly that was hard!! My muscles are tired! Hopefully that's a good sign that I gave it my all.

someone just told me you can take it within a week if you don't pass?? Is this what you mean when you say people pass it a second time?

I like you ladyscrubs!! Thank you so much! I heard from a friend who's sister is a manager at CC that the test has gotten easier in the last. Couple years. So crossing my fingers! I'll let you know!

I am taking the test Monday!! I'm so scared! Any tips!?

I've seen the video... that doesn't make me feel any better! Lol. So it's not testing muscle strength but the joints? That shouldn't be a problem.i just wish the job offer wasn't contingent on this test.

Hey all!!! I'm an RN from the Cleveland Ohio area! I just accepted a position in an ICU at a regional campus of Cleveland Clinic. I have to take the Physical Capabilities Exam on Monday and I am so nervous!! I'm afraid I will fail and lose this awesome opportunity! I don't really work out and I'm overweight and not in good shape. I've been a nurse for five years and have never had a back injury but I'm so scared ! Any tips? Thanks!

thank you all for replying, i heard that shutting off at the minimum is good also (i took the pn) but i have heard of people failing it after it shut off at 85. i really wish we could get our results the same day. and i am not even going to think about trying the pearson vue trick, because i don't want to freak myself out.

today i took my NCLEX. And i feel like i failed it!!! i got so many drug questions that i have never even heard of, and i got a ton of select all that apply, and that scares me. I felt like i knew absolutely nothing on this test. but i scored really well on all my practice tests. did anyone else feel this way and still pass? i need some encouraging words!!! btw my test shut off after 85 questions. thank you all so much!:redbeathe

I would let them know right away. they will probably be understanding since you found out after you took the job. I'm sure it will be fine. besides they need to know because there are certain meds that a pregnant women shouldn't handle you know? then you can take the extra precautions. It will be fine. good luck!

when my name was spelled wrong they fixed it while they were on the phone with me. i would just keep calling until someone fixes right then and there. good luck to you. :)

I got my ATT today!!! and i scheduled to take my test july 6th!!!!! :)

what is this pearson trick everyone is talking about!?

yeah i think my BON is getting a little tired of me. I had to call them because my name was spelled wrong on the website. wow. i guess this is a busy time for nurses.

hello all! i recently graduated in late april from a Practical Nursing program. As of today, i am on the Ohio board of nursing website, under pending. How long will it take before i get my authorization to test? I am very anxious to take the test, and i think i have been waiting long enough! thank you!
