:bluecry1:Hi,

I am freaking out too because my test was so much different than I had expected. I had 76 or 77 questions... NOT 75. I am wondering if that makes a difference. I don't remember my last question. I barely remember my name after taking the test. I prepared 5 1/2 weeks 8 hrs a day doing virtual ATI and I thought I was ready. But, the questions were so different than anything I'd ever seen!!!! I tried to work through the nursing process and critically think through each one, but honestly some of them were just odd odd odd!

The CA BRN site hasn't updated since Monday and most of my friends told me that they found out on Wed when they took on a Monday. So.... I am freaking out, of course.... like all of us.

Can anyone share their thoughts.. and/or experiences with the odd number of questions I had 76 or 77??? Does that mean I totally bombed?

Thank you!

DM:eek:

75, 76, 77, 107, 157...whatever...it doesn't matter. Just try and relax.

Thanks Suzey,

I appreciate the support. I didn't expect this time in my life to be so difficult. I really thought I would be relieved to have the test over and done with. I thought that I would walk out of there thinking I was confident that I had done my best. But, with the questions seemingly so off the wall, and feeling like I didn't really have a chance to prove myself, it is really frustrating. I had 3 math, 2 were simple enough, but the third one wasn't getting through my brain so after 10 mins I just put in a guess of 150 ml/hr for IV because I knew I was blowing time away. I hope that one guess didn't throw me out of the game : (:twocents:

Very normal to feel like you do, I know it isn't easy but try and relax, take your mind off the waiting.

Good luck

Average wait time in Ca is ten days, does not matter what your friends have told you; what they did or did not do has no bearing on your file.

Best of luck to you.
