Okay well let us know if your name pops up on the BRN

How did it go?
-
Not to mention that on all my practice tests I was scoring in the 60%'s. I have always been you aberage student. you average Joe who got a B is first semester, B in second, and C's in third and fourth. My program is known for being tough and the question style was similar to our exams so I was prepared for that... But the content is obviously much different. Also tough bc you dont know where to focus for this exam. Im just telling you this so that you know im just ur average student who went to 265 just like you guys and still passed. Hang in there! You will drive yourself crazy by next tues. LNNZ & LISA: im not sure where you live but if your in california like me then they have furlough fridays so a friend of mine who took her exam on a wed, me who took it on a thurs, and another friend of mine who took is on a friday all got our results very early in the morning the following tues (i think one girl even checked at 3:00 am tues morning) and our names were posted.

Whats the bad pop up? A pop up that does not allow you to pay when you try to resechedule is supposed to be a good thing. But... On that note, keep in mind that the computer grades your test and in the pamphlet they give you it says that someone needs to manually go through your test to be certain that you passed of failed. (so im not sure I trust that method). I can't even begin to tell you how hopeless I felt. I felt like I definately did not know enough to answer all those questions. If you took ur test today you will know on the BRN website by next tues (if you took the NCLEX-RN test). Honestly I booked a flight from cali to long beach and spent the weekend away so I wouldnt drive myself crazy. I hoped for the best but prepared for the worst. Worst case scenario: you take it over in a month and half (45 days if you live in cali)....thats not too bad. Both of you try to keep it together, at this point whats done is done and theres no going back. Just bc all ur friends stopped at 75 does not mean you failed. I went to resechedule my test to try the "trick" and got a pop up and by the next tues my name was on the BRN website. Marcos meant that I finished to 265 question exam in 4 1/2 hours instead of the 6 hours time slot we are alloted to complete that many questions. He thinks that my ability to answer the questions quickly is why I passed (like I was prepared and knew the answers). Honestly I am thankful to have passed but I feel like a went quickly bc I didnt sit on the questions that I had no clue about (which was most of them) and hope the answer would come to me. I just picked whatever looked most right and gave it my best guess and went on. I walked out of there thinking I had to of failed...so hang in there!!!

You can try the trick or wait 48 BUSINESS hours total (so on the 3rd day) type in BRN and the state you live in (ex: california BRN). Click on permanent license verification and type in your last and first name. Your name will pop up if you are licensed and you dont have to pay the "quick results" if your in a state that offers it, and if your in a state that doesnt offer it it's a quick way to find out. Theres no reason to wait a month in places like california (where I live) bc they dont offer quick result. Keep in mind that if you take ur exam on a monday results should post on a thurs, if you take your exam on a tues..your name may pop up on friday. If you take you exam on a wed/thurs/or Friday you may have to wait till tues/wed/thurs/fri of the next week bc the BRN has furlough fridays and nothing is updated during the weekend. So for those who think you hafta wait a month, DONT! Look it up on your states Board of registered nursing website.

I agree. I feel like having to go to 265 was very hard work. And to find out you passed... makes it all worth it. We earned it for sure for having to stick it out to the end. Mine took 4 1/2 hrs to finish...lol. I took out my earplugs to find that everyone else was gone =/ hahaha... just so glad it's over now

Hey, Just focus on the big ones. The Kaplan book seems to have a good review of main disease processes. Check it out

I scored about the same while practicing and still passed

The last question right with 75 questions doesnt count. Neither does the last question right with 265 question. But the last question right with anything in between is very important! They took you past 75 bc it was unsure of you so at 85 or something random, you prolly want to know if you got that last question right

Congrats!!!!!!!! welcome to the RN world
-

Theres nothing to it but to do it. Give your mind a break (as hard as that may be) go in tomorrow with confidence. Prayers and good vibes your way!! You can do it!

To all of you who go to 265 questions, dont give up hope! All my classmated went to 75 questions and shut off. Then I started to hear that they all passed. One student went to 79 questions and ran home, looked up the answer to the last question and fortunately got it right and saw his name on the BRN website 2 days later. I have been the only one in my class to go to 265 questions and thought that meant I failed. Well, I am now a R.N. and proud of myself. For all of you who go to 265, dont give up hope.... It doesnt mean you failed!
