Like everyone else has said, don't feel guilty for saying no! I'm a new grad as well, and I don't want to do OT because I need my days off to rest and recharge so I can be my best on the days I do work. I just don't bother answering the phone. If I'm at work and someone asks me if I can pick up shifts, I say I'll think about it and then never get back to them. :) My favorite is when my charge nurse called me at 12:30 am asking me if I can come in since we had patients in the ED needing beds and we were out of nurses. Sure I'm going to wake up, drag myself out of bed, and drive 40 minutes so I can get slammed with admissions! No thank you. I promptly declined the phone call, deleted the voicemail, and fell back asleep.

What a great way to end the year! :)

I definitely recommend buying NCSBN! I thought the questions were pretty similar to those I got on my NCLEX. However, they don't have a lot of alternative format questions. But you still get a great amount of questions for the price! Best of luck to you! You can do it!

Congratulations!

I purchased the five week course and found it very helpful. I also thought the questions were very similar to those that I got on the NCLEX!

Congratulations!

I had the same kinds of questions and mine ended at 75. But it's hard to gauge for the reasons already stated! Sending positive vibes your way! Hope you find out soon. The wait is a killer!

Good luck! Wishing you all the best!

I think it depends on the state, too. Florida took about 48 hours (it may have been earlier if it weren't for the holiday, I don't know) to post my license number.

Congratulations!

You got this! Good luck!

Thank you! I actually did not do the trick. I didn't want to risk the $200 so I just waited. I checked the BON website before doing the quick results to see if it was posted there. It was so I didn't bother with the quick results. Sending good vibes your way! I'm sure you rocked it!

Praying for you! I also stopped at 75 questions and felt the exact same feelings you did. It's very stressful and agonizing. Hoping you passed!!

Thank you and you're welcome! Good luck to you!

I hope it helps you.
