Hi! There is a sticky on just this topic in the "general nursing student discussion" forum on this website. You should go look at it-there is a ton of replies on what to do while waiting for test results. Good luck! :)

I took the last paper boards and had to wait 2 months for my results.

So my advice: consider yourself lucky that your wait is so short.

Sing to yourself.

Go sailing.

Go for a run.

Walk a dog (borrow one if you need to).

Read.

Go out with friends for lunch.

Weed the yard.

Go for a hike.

Breath deeply.

Commune with nature.

Have a party or go to one.

Learn something new.

Reflect on your nursing school experience - write a letter to yourself to open in 10 years - write about how you feel now as you wait...

Your life will change forever when you get the results - remember to enjoy life at this moment - savor it.
