Waiting Is Killer
I took my NCLEX the other day, and it was the worst thing I've ever done in my life. The test was SO incredibly hard that I'm pretty sure I failed and will end up having to take yet ANOTHER test just so that I can be a little nurse. uuuugh. Anyway when the test shut down and the allotted number of questions, I sat there... dumbfounded.... and then got up and walked out. I thanked the appropriate people and then went to get the girls I had rode with. We packed up and left town, but since ALL of us felt we bombed the test we were a little on the mellow side. I'm not sure WHO suggested it, but we ran to Target to get some supplies for the ride home, and I ended up doing a little retail therapy for my depression. Somehow... and it's weird how this happens, but SOMEHOW I ended up with Season 3 and 4 of Angel and a few trinkets for my son. **sigh** It may not fix the fact that I prolly failed my state boards... but it definitely made it feel a lil better... at least till I got back home to my back scratcher.

After my NCLEX I headed straight out to the car and broke down in tears. I actually passed, but I have never talked to a person who has felt good after that test. It's not the end of the world if you don't pass the first go round. I now plenty of people who have failed the first few times. They are great nurses, just not good test takers.
I took my NCLEX with a puking migraine...seriously, I knew I was failing miserably but I was just praying that it would shut off at the minimum 75 questions just so I could get out of there before I hurled. It did, and I left and promptly vomited and then cried the whole way home. But somehow...2 days later... I was a RN!!!
