Prayers for passing boards

PhiMuNursie · #1 06-30-2002, 12:25 AM

I'm hoping this won't start a religious upheaval on here, but I need all the help I can get and it's worth it!

I am taking my State Boards for Nursing sometime this week and I need all the prayers I can get that I pass! I'm working in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit once I become an RN, so send a prayer up cause there's babies and families out there that need my nursing care!!! (Or at lest I like to think so

).

Also, any advice from people who've been in this position? Your entire future riding on one test...what did you do the night before you took boards for anyone that has?

Thanks in advance!

Ive never taken boards...nor would I know what to do if my entire life was centered around ONE exam...

BUT...my advice..relax...brush up on some last minute things...buy your FAVORITE ice cream...i usually prefer anything ben and jerrys...maybe that will work for you too...
and then eat it..relax and get a good nights sleep...

and if a prayer is what you need...ill be glad to say one for you..

GOOD LUCK!! Keep us posted

I know you will do great; you won't need any prayers, but don't worry--you have a prayer from me.

I recently took my boards (though not for nursing) and I looked over a couple of main points the night before and got a good night sleep. I was stressing pretty badly pre-exam but stress really doesn't do you any good (as you already know). I'm sure you will do fine though

BTW The NICU is my favorite unit to do work in and I think it's wonderful that you will be working there. It takes a very special person (and a great nurse) to work with those tiny babies.

Good luck! LIOB
