Found out I passed on 9/12 at about 9:00 AM EST!!!!

First off, take a deep breath and try to relax (easier said than done, I know). But going into boards with emotions haywire is not going to benefit you. My method on studying for NCLEX was answering questions or doing practice tests (75+ questions) and reviewing the rationales and trying to see why I answered the way I did and try to understand why I could've answered differently. Trying to study by topic didn't help me at all. Don't feel ashamed for failing first time, I work with many great nurses who have failed NCLEX before.

I really hope this isn't the case. I don't think I could wait another full day..

Was not able to verify with FL DOH today (9/11/16). Fingers crossed I find something out on Monday.

I took my NCLEX yesterday (9/10/16) at 8:00 AM EST, and finished at about 8:45 AM EST. I had 76 questions. Last question was a SATA that I can't even recollect what was asked of me. Did anyone else leave the testing site with more nerves going in? I almost vomited walking to my car and had a hard time catching my breath driving home.. XD Anywho, from what I've mustered from other threads and replies, Florida Board of Nursing usually posts results in 24 hours, which is in about 2-3 hours for me. I did try the Pearson Vue Trick and got the "good" notice that everyone speaks of. Although it seems to be extremely reliable, nothing else really compares to seeing your name on the legitimate website with a license number next to your name. So fingers crossed in a few hours I can get back with good news!
