Re-taking the boards a second time next week...

Published

I was just wondering if there were any 2nd time test-takers out there that have any extra advice on going to take the boards again. I am starting to get really nervous because not only is this the 2nd time, but it's the 2nd time my job is holding my RN position for me and if I fail again, I'm worried they will no longer hold it and just tell me to re-apply when I finally become and RN. I know the key to passing the boards is to stay calm and relaxed. I am trying, but for some reason I have butterflies in my stomache worse than last time. I have been studying all along, took Kaplan, and know I have done my best, but I still have that dreaded fear of not passing. I try my best to think positively, I am just soooooo nervous!! If anyone has any advice on how they dealt with these fears prior to the test it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much! :confused:

I just wanted to let everyone know I took the exam this morning! I can't tell how I did, but I sorta have a good feeling (I don't want to jinx myself though:) ) The computer shut off somewhere around 100 - I was trying not to pay too much attn to what number I was on, so I lost track and it shut off when I wasn't expecting it too. I'll keep you guys posted when I get my results. Good luck Chrsitine and Peaceful2100!! I know you can do it!!
