The WAIT is killing me!!!

Just relax...You passed! Gos has taken you this far, he is not about to leave you now (that is if you believe in God). Good luck!

Took the test 2 days ago and I was pretty sure I failed and cried. Did the PVT and if its as 100% as ppl say then I passed. *fingers definitely crossed for that* Couldn't sleep last night at all. Now I'm trying to distract myself until 2pm which would be the full 48 hours so I can pay my state the extra $8 to find out.

I feel bad for those that don't have quick results though. I'd surely start to have heart problems and die right before I got my results in the mail.

i cant tell you to relax coz im feeling the same way right now. took the test 2 days ago as well.. like i always say, as long as you studied and truly did your part, then you should trust that god wont let you down. the positive PVT i got is the only thing keeping me sane. lol and man, it'll take like 4-5 weeks prolly before the mail gets here in the philippines

The wait is OVER! I PASSED!!! I failed 2 years ago when I first took it and then my life became so difficult financially and in all aspects that I never really had the opportunity to retake it until recently when I was almost about to be homeless and some woman donated the money to retake the test. :) I was enrolled in Virtual ATI when I first failed (never really studied either) and found out that I could re-enroll in that free since I never passed so I used that to help. I came out of the test bawling feeling like I failed and cried for the past 48 bours. Then I tried the PVT, even though I strongly had my doubts, and according to the trick I passed.

All morning I paced the house and couldn't distract myself until 2pm. Finally I found out and literally called everyone I could think of.

As for how I did it since it seems everyone has that question:

-First and foremost, positivity. I went in there with my head straight thinking I worked hard and I know this stuff.

-Saunders, but I personally don't like the book

-Virtual ATI, mainly their study schedule helped me put it together and the practice tests too

-various notes off of here!

-And my favorite study tool thus far, Illustrated Study Guide.

Now I just pray I can find a job relatively quickly and begin the life I want!

try to relax..pvt is accurate

congrats, finally all your hardwork payed off

Congratulations! :) YAY!

I'm in WAIT mode til tomorrrow morning (agony)... I too tried the PVT and it gave me the good pop-up :) ..But for 'unofficial results'.. 48 hours for "quick results" isn't quick enough.. ahhh!

I am so so with you!! I did the PVT and got the "good" pop up, but so scared to get excited just in case.... But everyone says it works so could it be true are we really nurses now!! Why does the board make us wait when they have the results?? Don't they know how much stress we are already under??? I find out quick results tomorrow morning!!!
