I used to work in LTC , full-time nights. For the most part of my shift I would help the aide change incontinent pads of the residents. At the end of my shift, I'd go home, fall asleep exhausted, then dream that I'm still changing incontinent pads. This was when I realized I had to get out.

This brings to mind an aide who told me ¨That`s why you`re paid more¨

@Pudina and Rangeela I hope you get your pass result soon... The excruciating wait is the hardest.

I passed!!!! Hands are shaking....so happy! I'm in SK.

Congratulations to everyone here who passed! Your wait is finally over. Still anxiously waiting in SK.

You said it!

congratulations!

This has been the longest month of my life ever! Trying to suppress these feelings of anxiety and the "what if" thoughts followed by feelings of dread. A week or 2 more to go and we'll finally know.... Happy thoughts everyone! Better said than done.

This just brings back old memories. A similar thing happened to me. It's sad when you cant' fight back, because it seems to be a losing battle when you have nothing to show as proof except for what you charted, and you're afraid of losing your job. It's your word against his, and he's your supervisor. I wonder why this is so common in LTC facilities? I'm so sorry to hear what you went through.

Oh, Positive is all I can hold on to. Otherwise, I would surely break apart! Kept away all my books and notebook to make it harder for me to check if I correctly answered a question I remembered. Did this after a sleepless night of constantly going through my book for the answers. Continuing to answer questions after the exam didn't help at all. Just added doubt to my already shaken confidence. 6 weeks! Good God, I don't know how I'll make it waiting so long. Can't seem to do anything without thinking, that is, without thinking of a question that suddenly pops in my head.

What an interesting day it was! How did other test takers find this exam?

Congratulations to everyone who passed!:rckn:

Congratulations dvcl! :yelclap: Now without a shred of doubt you know you passed. I can only imagine how uneasy it must've felt to wait for that confirmation from CNO. It's time to celebrate!

You are soooooo right! Don't ever give up! Good luck to you and I wish you all the best!:)

Congratulations to you! I got the same number of questions as you did. Guess there were different sets of questions as others had a total of 252, 254, or 256.
