Well, I still can't really believe it, but I passed the NCLEX exam and I am now officially an RN! Here are some of my feelings on the exam:
1. WAAAAY too long (265 questions for me while tons of people only get 75! Not fair. It was depressing sitting in the testing center and seeing everyone leave after an hour and I was still in there for 4 and 1/2 more hours!! AHH I was miserable!)
2. SOOOOOO hard. I really did believe others when they said it was going to be hard, but I didn't think it would be worse than the HESI. It was. (to me). All the questions were all about prioritizing and analyzing and crazy drugs I had never heard of. YUCK. Sick to my stomach just thinking about it.
3. They need to be quicker on results. I thought I was going to have a heart attack, stroke, anxiety attack, panic attack, all of thee above while I was waiting. I feel bad because everyone around me felt bad for me because they could feel how stressed I was and it make them worried. I need to shout out to my mom. She took me out to eat and shop after and I was like a zombie. She's so great.
4. Now something good about it.... well nothing except for the fact that I am now an RN and will be able to get a job and earn more money!!
