I passed! It felt pretty HORRIBLE until I saw: Sarilda Chaffin Registered Nurse on the BRN's website this am. I think I've checked it out at least 3 times since then to make sure it is still there!
Congratulations, Sarilda!!!!! I'm so happy for you.
LOL. I know that feeling. You keep "pinching" yourself! Congratulations, Sarilda! That's wonderful. Trina said it's pretty horrific. Glad you've passed that milestone! I don't take mine until July. Well, I hope you get a little breather now, before the next thing -- the (gulp) job!
I am commenting, hesitantly.....bc I don't know if I passed or not, but here it is.....
Like Sarilda said....I got "post" test anxiety...racing heart, diarrhea (sorry so graphic) and I figured out the next time I could take the test. I've gotten myself to the place where I have come to grips with the fact that I may be taking it again end of July.
My suggestion AFTER the test (bc you WILL need guidance when you leave that horribly insane test) is to call someone who has taken it and passed. Do NOT, I stress, do NOT call someone who hasn't bc my husband and mom, who do not understand the NCLEX, said well, I'm sorry, sweetie, when can you take it next. It's okay, its not the end of the world. Blah, Blah, Blah.
On the other hand, my other girlfriend said she went to lunch after a group of her friends finished it and cried together bc they all thought they failed (yet passed).
Those are the stories i wanted to hear, bc although I didn't cry, I was/am a wreck. I left a handful of frantic messages, and for the many of you who called or text that I didn't write back, sorry, I need some assurance from the BRN before I can give any advice. Right now, the name of the game is distraction.
The only reason I am posting NOW as opposed to after the RN (cross your fingers) is bc you will feel awful. I thought I was not going to feel like this, but I did x 100!
For those of you getting close to NCLEX, feel free to call after you take it. I will try to be as supportive and reassuring as I can. :-)
