it was absolutely horrible. i can't believe how nervous and anxious i was. i am sure i failed. i will be the only one in my class that failed. the questions were so hard. i can't even remember them. i had to keep telling myself to calm down and to breathe.
i had lots of prioritizing, disaster drill, patient teaching and safety questions. no math, maybe 2 or 3 drug questions. when the computer turned off at 75 i wanted to cry. i didn't want it to turn off. at least if it kept going it meant i had a chance to pass.
i don't think i can do it again if i failed. i was so sure i could be calm and i wasn't.
skisalom- thanks! i will celebrate by looking for a job! ha ha. actually we will probably go out to a nice dinner this weekend to celebrate.
paula7720- good luck tomorrow. try to be calm. i know that is easier said than done since i was totally calm until i got in front of the computer. be confident that you know the stuff. sending positive vibes to ya thru cyberspace!
rachel2004RN-thanks again! i still can't believe i passed. i just checked the state boards website to see if it was still there. LOL. i want my license in the mail. then i will believe it for real. waiting sucks. i have always hated waiting for test results. even if i fail, at least i know, i am not in limbo and i can get over it and move on. not knowing is the worst.
i kept remembering ones i got wrong too! i got at least 10 wrong that i could remember and only 2 right that i could remember. i couldn't remember anything else because they were not about anything specific, mostly couldn't remember prioritizing type questions, etc. i didn't remember the second correct one till this morning. it gave me hope! so silly.
to everyone else. thanks so much for your support! it helped tons.
