Hi everyone, my name is Joe. I'm new to this site.
I am in a deep funk right now because I just took the PN boards and I feel like I did completely awful. I know this is the general feeling most people get after taking the boards but I really didn't understand a lot of the questions asked.
Here's my question. My test shut off after the 86th question. Which seems strange to me because I think the minimum for PN boards is 85. So if I were to get the minimum amount of questions wouldn't it have shut off at 85 and not 86?? Does anyone know if this is a good sign or a bad one? I've already read through a lot of threads and haven't seen anyone else who had 1 question above the minimum.
I'm stressing bad and I feel like I just did horrible. Can anyone give me some information regarding this matter?
Thanks everyone! It's very nice of you all to congratulate me with such entusiasm. I'm very proud to be a nurse. This is my first real career move. I messed around for awhile after highschool with dead-end jobs(I'm now 27). But 5 years ago I decided I wanted to be a nurse. I have since been working full time and going to school taking 1-2 classes per semester getting my Gen. Eds/Pre-reqs done. Three years ago I became a CNA and have worked in a long term care center since. I also became a Geriatric Care Specialist a year after becoming a CNA. Now that I have my LPN and am in my second year seeking my associates degree in Registered Nursing, I'll soon be looking forward to a BSN.
I had 205 questions on my exam today and I am scared!!! does this happen often?
