The Waiting Game

[Toe Knee]

Hi folks,

So I just completed my CNA class Friday April 22, 2011 and took my state boards written and skills exam this morning on May 1, 2011.

Anyway, the RN test observer told me that it could take a couple days to receive my score and find out whether or not I passed. This wait time is driving me a bit nuts and I am looking for some suggestions of what my friends and I could do over the next couple days to get my mind off of the test.

Now I am not feeling this way because I think I did bad. BUT one of my skills was blood pressure and... I think I got it right... But the more I think about it the more I start to doubt my systolic/diastolic.

What are some things my friends and I could do these next couple days to put my mind at ease? I am open to all suggestions.

just pray you get the outcome you want & if you don't, don't give up just study harder and re-test! :)

keep your brain busy

read a book

go for long walks

do research on possible job leads so you are ready to apply

Hey, I thought i had failed and doubted myself. I took the test Friday and had to wait the entire week end. I passed 100% on all. And hey, you can always take it again if you fail so really it's all good!!!

Hey just relax!

When I took my state exam, I knew I passed the written (it was so easy), and I knew I did awesome on my skills...

Until I got home and realized that during peri care I forgot to change the position of the washcloth with each wipe.

They still passed me.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the replies! I was worrying way too much. I passed the written with a 93% and passed the skills. As for jobs, I have applied to many so now I am in the hurry up and wait phase, meaning I want my license to hurry up and get here and I am waiting for a call back for interviews lol.

Such as life.
