I graduated on May 12th and it's been a LONG wait for the state to finally issue authorization to test with Pearson. July 7th at 8 AM is the big day.
Our nursing program gave each graduating nurse a scholarship "gift" of the Kaplan 4-day NCLEX prep. I've been doing practice Q-Bank questions nearly every day. So far, I'm doing pretty well on the trainers & Q-Banks. I simply cannot wait to get this over & done with. I have a job lined up and I cannot start until I pass the NCLEX, per their policy.
I was having so much trouble sleeping last night that I ended up not waking up until 10 minutes ago. Checked PV and my Quick Results were available. I broke down in tears. All that hard work finally paid off :)
RN SOPRANO!!! CONGRATS!!! I'm so happy for you! :) You did it! And you knew you rocked it too.
It was definitely the longest 48 hrs lol and I thought I could sleep in late but I woke up at 6.45 a.m. and I started checking at 8.00 then finally I checked at 9.00 and there it was I couldn't stop staring at the screen. I am excited beyond words and look forward to my new job in the ED August 31. I am grateful for the support, love and encouragement from the members of allnurses.

Hi everyone, just got my results and found out I passed too!!! I tested July 7th at 2pm and woke up this morning and saw my name on the California BRN website (so less than 48 hours, which is great for CA!)
Definitely don't recommend sitting for the NCLEX without studying haha I nearly had a panic attack when I left my house en route to test center and thought to myself ARE YOU INSANE?!?! YOU SHOULD HAVE STUDIED!!!
But apparently what they taught us in school was enough, and I'm kinda glad I didn't spend money or my time I have spent vacationing since I graduated May 22nd studying for hours instead. But HUGE PROPS to all of you that were dedicated enough to do so!!
My test stopped at 75, finished in 60 minutes, and left feeling confident that I FAILED because I got drilled on tough OB questions and about 18 SATA. No med calculations but DON'T FORGET YOUR 24 HOUR FLUID INTAKE CALCULATION (mine was tricky and had tricky liquid/foods in it!!)
Anyway, congratulations to everyone!! Hard work pays off!! Congrats fellow RN's!!!
Ana Maria Duarte, RN, BSN (haha sorry, I had to!!)
