How did you feel when you passed the nursing board exam?

Before the Licensure Exam, I felt the tension and pressure knowing that a lot of people are praying and hoping I will pass. These people include my family, friends, schoolmates, teachers, and many more. I feel so ashamed if I will fail the test. But I did my best and prepared enough for it. As expected, I passed the exam in my first take. I was glad and thankful about it. I also had a thanksgiving party for my success. How about you?

I was so relieved when I passed my NCLEX in July 2010. I got every last question and was the very last person to leave the testing facility. Now in retrospect, I realize I was worried sick and now working as a nurse, the real learning starts.

I know that feeling... The pressure! My brother passed the board exam and I remember how did I wait and pray that I will pass too. And fortunately I also passed the Board exam in my first take and I'm happy about it. very grateful. But nurses have no future here in the Philippines that's a very sad truth.

i can't explain the feeling when the results are in..im nervous of what it would be..luckily, when my sister entered a site where the results are posted my auntie was shouting already that i passed and i yell to..but, i did not saw my name i think because of the excitement..i stopped and ask her to point my name on the list..when i already saw that's the time tears started to fall..but, sadly i don't have work now..
