:cry: i took my nclex-rn exam last friday and upto now my name is still now showing at the CA BRN site.. my experience was very very memorable for me.. upto now i haven't told anybody not even my parents or boyfriend that i took nclex..

we just moved here in sacramento and i don't have my driver's license yet.. what i did was i took the bus going to pearson vue center in roseville.. as stupid as i was, i didn't realize that i wasn't able to track which bus to take from orlando/lois lane were the sacramento RT had to stop going to roseville pearson vue center.. i arrived at the last bus stop for sacramento almost 1pm and got so worried because my appointment was at 2pm and i don't even know which bus to take and worst im not familiar with buses of roseville and the place itself.. got extremely nervous and i just asked a couple of bus drivers for the roseville transit and most of them doesnt know where lava ridge court is(where pearson vue center is located).. finally, one bus driver was familiar with the building and told me which buses to take.. BUS-ES! meaning, i had to take 2 bus to reach to the center.. again! im extremely nervous not to be able to get on time for my appointment.. after about 30 mins wait, the bus finally arrived.. and its around 1.45pm! i don't know what to do already.. still, i prayed and hope that i will arrive their 2.30pm which states on the pearson vue website that they will give me 30 mins more with the scheduled appointment.. i arrived at the next bus stop around 1.58 and got terribly worried.. i still have to wait for a couple more minutes for the bus to bring me to lava ridge court.. i arrived at the nearest bus stop of the pearson vue at around 2.18pm.. and i had 2 walk 2 blocks to reach the building.. and worst i got lost with all the buildings there since it was my 1st tym to get there.. and i got so terribly exhausted and decided not to take the exam anymore.. i walked and walked and its about 2.45 when i saw the building and decided to come in to see the place.. but i not in my thought that i can still take the exam.. i guess despite all the unfortunate events, they told me i can still take the exam.. the administrator told me i was just in the nick of time.. since the center closes at about 8.45pm that means i can still complete the 6 hours exam.. whew!! i got terribly excited and happy and thankful..

and so i took the exam.. had 2 SATA, no MATH/calculations and shut down at 75.. honestly, i really don't know if i pass.. i guess i was so damn exhausted with the experience and totally got blank with i took the exam.. but im still wishing i did pass though.. and so this is my 4th day waiting for the result.. this is my first time and got really inspired to write when i read the thread of ladysnyper who took the exam last jan. 29 and im thinking we were on the same boat and hoping that just like her i will pass too. *sigh i hope luck will still be on my side while waiting for the result.

Boy, what a tough way to walk into your exam. Sorry to hear of your rough day. Hang in there. I believe we usually did better than we think we did. I wish you well.

(ps: If you do end up having to repeat the exam, no big deal. You will have test taking experience under your belt already and can give it a fresh shot.)
