Response to I am a NERVOUS WRECK! I took the CNA exam today, somebody please help me!

If she said "okay" you passed. The hand towel in the sink for denture care and the paper towel on the weight scales (for standing patients) are legendary mistakes. I recently (March) took the LPN-NCLEX in Illinois, I knew that I had failed because my computer shut down after less than 100 questions. I was absolutely certain I did not pass and prepared myself for the worse. My only consolation was that I tried and did my best, but I was still heart-broken. I finally came around to understand two things; I did the best I could at the time and that I would not be the first CNA who went to nursing school and failed the NCLEX on the first attempt. I would simply have to take it again (and pay the $285 again, too). It wasn't the end of the world. I had learned a great deal and I was a better health-care worker for the effort and experience; maybe even a better person.

Approximately eight days after testing I received the results in the mail. I passed. I think you passed too.
