hi I took my boards in the state of washington on the 11th and did not pass now the long wait, 90 days. After the initial shock I sat down and looked at the readout from the state and I was below passing in two areas. this gives me a direction. I plan on taking one area each week until i have gone through all 8 areas and then back to the tests on the disks i also have access to the ATI tests that i took in school and these are a great study guide. I really want to thanks everyone, i have been reading posts and sharing and it has helped me to realize that i am not the only one who has "almost passed" :Melody:

Hang in there sometimes its the nerves that get you, you spend every waking minute breathing nursing and then clam up. It happens to the best of us, I will be praying for you Good Luck.

Haynurse,

Hang in there and keep at it! I know that it will be worth it in the end and no one will care how many times it took to pass the NCLEX. Just keep going! :)

I will be praying for you. Also you can take the test for another state in less that the 90 days. Any other state board will let you take the test any time then transfer to your state. You do not have to wait but if you think you need the time to study wait . God bless

6 TIMES?! You are a trooper! I did not pass the exam on the first try and I am afraid to take it the second time for fear of having the same depressing and traumatizing experience I did the first time I did not pass. Please write back to let me know what you did! I would appreciate it!
