The stress of NCLEX is killing me

The stress of having to study for NCLEX and not knowing what to expect is awful; but the stress of waiting 48 hrs:heartbeat for the results is even worse. Today I just took mine and I'm afraid that for the next two days I will be impossible to deal with.

God please help me:(

I know exactly what youre going through. It is hard. Youll get through the next 48 hours and it will go by quickly. For me it wasnt a full 48 hours, first thing that morning I checked. I registered at 8am so I checked just after 8am and the results were up at Pearson. So you get through today, tomorrow and then check just after whatever time you tested. Good luck. p/s this site helped me alot while i was going through it, it occupied my mind....

I know what you mean. I just kept trying to push it out of my mind and find other things to do. I know it's hard. I met a frend that I had not seen in quite a while for lunch, browsed a bookstore, found a new book and cozied up in a coffee shop with it for a while.

I steered clear of housework or anything mindless like that, would have given me too much time to think, LOL (At least that was my excuse!)

i know what u mean! i went through so much emotional stages as soon as i got out of the testing center. i had to wait 6 days for the results to come out :uhoh21: the first two it was very nerve wracking cause even my friends were checking the results for me and kept on calling me... i knew it wasnt a very good idea to tell them i took the test lol. but the next few days was so much better since i got over it and tried to distract myself. hang in there!!:wink2:
