The graduate nurse has taken the NCLEX-PN®, and now must wait to get results. How should the nurse spend this time?
1. Look up as many questions as you can remember to determine how many questions you missed.
2. Avoid making plans, so you can be home when the letter comes with your results.
3. Call the 900 telephone number every few hours until you obtain results.
4. Keep busy and try to maintain a positive outlook.

Rationale: Once you finish the exam, you can't change the outcome, so it is best to try to keep busy to make time seem to pass more quickly. If you live in a state that participates in the 900 results number, the results will not be available for 48 hours, so keep a positive outlook. Good luck! After completing nursing school, you can pass this exam.
