1. I got 76 questions. 2. I took a review course provided by my SON by Sylvia Rayfield (Nursing Made insanely easy people) their materials and I also used Saunders. 3. My school required us to do HESI testing in between our first year and at the end of our last year. The exit exam I got a 988. 4. I waited like 46 hours after I took NCLEX for my results. 5. After taking the NCLEX I was so scared! I didnt know what to think or feel...I felt like I was holding my breath for 2 days. It was awful! I knew that with 76 questions I had either REALLY failed or REALLY passed and was hoping it wasnt the first option. And it wasnt...I PASSED!! 6. This was my first attempt.:monkeydance:

I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!:monkeydance::balloons:Yep, I found out on Sunday at like 2 something. Just waiting on my name and number to show up on the BON website. So to all of you who are still waiting....PRAY ALOT! And try to just stay cool, even tho that is much easier said than done, I know. Good luck to you all.

Thanks guys....I guess we are all in the same boat. Talking to other people who feel the same way is somehow therapeutic. I also just realized that I am going to have to wait two more days to get my results because I took the test on Friday....so I guess I have to wait till Tuesday! Im going to totally go insane by then! I don't think I have ever experienced this much stress in my whole life.....I mean it really takes a toll on you, all this worrying.

Ok, I took my NCLEX yesterday...I was in that dreadful thing for 3 hours and the computer shut off at 76!!! Not 75, but 76! I feel like I am going to die waiting for these results. I know this is the same thing evryone says after their test but this morning I woke up and got on here and saw all the new threads where people that had failed! One even failed at 75. That is scary. I have mixed feeling about how I did...I know I got alot of priority questions right...Always airway and breathing first. But there where so many questions that I had no idea about..they where about stuff that I had NEVER even heard of! Whats that about? I tried my best to make educated guesses, but I know I got some wrong. I just need to get out of this house or Im gonna go crazy trying to figure out if I passed or failed.

Thank you for the great advice guys, I emailed them yesterday and the recruiter said that I should know something by today....we'll see.

Hi I recently graduated from nursing school and moved to Atlanta...im trying to get a job at Emory in mother-baby. Well, I had my interview last week with two women who were nurse managers but not the main manager for the floor apparently. The main manager was on vacation. Well, a week after the interview i emailed the recruiter and she said they had been waiting for the nurse manager to get back to make a decision...she was supposed to be back on Tuesday and it is now Thursday a total of a week and two days after my interview. Is this a normal amount of time to wait after an interview?? Should I start looking elsewhere?

i find myself very insulted aswell by your comment about having to babysit the Nursing Assistants. I am a nursing student halfway through my program, but I have also been a CNA for 5 years. It makes me very upset when nurses take for grated what the CNA's do. I have worked in many places where the CNA's do more work than the nurses and the nurses push off as much of their work as they can legally get away with onto the CNA's. I work in a Neonatal nursery where the CNA's are very much appreciated...the nurses beg for us to stay and help them even when our 8 hours are up. Sometimes I really think that every nurse should be a CNA before they become a nurse....I have noticed that the nurses that are CNA's first are in general better nurses.
