My hubby told me that during the night i sat up and was patting the bed. He asked what i was doing and i told him i was looking for glasses. He asked why and i told him a patient needed them. He said he'd find them for me and i said ok and laid back down. I dont remember a thing! Lately i have had bad dreams about tornados. I read that they symbolize really stressful events. My only guess is being a new rn.

1. how many questions did you take on nclex? all 265 2. what study materials did you use? did you take a test review course? i used nclex made incredibly simple for content review, saunders stratigies, and lippincotts 250 alternative questions. 3. did your son offer any testing (eri, ati, hesi)? we took ati throughout and the final pre nclex. 4. how long did you wait for results of the test, or are you still waiting? took it tuesday morning and my license was on pa's website thursday morning at 7:30am. 5. what were your thoughts coming out of the test (total disbelief, certainty you had failed, confident you had passed)? i thought i failed because i got all 265. i cried for 2 days. 6. was this your first attempt at nclex? yes, first and only try.

Passed with 265 Good Luck!! -Amy

I took it today and am freaking out. It went all the way to 265. I couldn't believe it. A classmate of mine did pass with 265. I have been crying all day. I'll post when i get the results. -Amy

I have a story, if this helps... My sister, a nurse anesthetists now, got sick and needed a kidney transplant when she was about 22 in 1991 or so. My dad gave her a kidney. My mom really wanted to, but she has high blood pressure. So, about 2 1/2 years ago she got sick again and needed another transplant. I gave her my kidney in march 2003. I guess when she first got sick, the dr's suggested to have a family member donate rather than wait for a cadaver. I was only 13 and they wouldn't even consider me. But since then i had always been told i would be the next to give. I wanted to give my kidney because i didnt want my sister to die. I think thats reason enough. But i also was terrified and thought about why i shouldn't. The day after surgery, i also wondered why i would subject my healthy body to this horrific pain. But then i thought, i would have done anything to help my sister. I hope this was helpful. If you need anything further, feel free to send me a private message (PM)-Amy
