I'm An RN

So I think I forgot to tell you, I passed the NCLEX.  I'm an RN.

I took it last Tuesday at 2pm.  My Daddy drove me up there.  We left our house at 10am.  It only took us like 45 minutes to get there.  The building was really hard to find, but after we found it we went to Subway and got lunch.

So we sat in Subway for about an hour and a half just hanging out, sort of looking over my notes.  Then we went back to the testing center parking lot and walked around for a while.  Then we went to the bathroom.  And I went in to take my test about 1:15pm.

They checked me in and let me start early.  Which was really, really nice.

I started the test about 1:30pm and was out of there about 2:30pm.  I was done only half an hour after I should have started.

75 questions.

I can say this now that I've passed and have my license: It wasn't as hard as I expected it to be.

Yep.  I said it.  I mean I studied like a maniac.  But I didn't think it was that hard.  I heard that if you felt like the questions got progressively harder as you went along in the test then that was a good thing, but I do not feel like the questions got harder, they were all hard, but not as hard as I expected.  There was a bunch of select all the apply questions, aka the worst kind of question.

There were about 12 computers there to take exams on, and I was the third one to sit down.  When I left, all the seats were filled.  I don't know when they came in, but apparently they did.  I don't know if I was just that focused or they were just that quiet, but I only heard one person come in.  I sat at computer #8.

It was an exciting day.  I'm glad it's over.  I'm so tired of studying.

Just call me Katie, RN.
