For those that have to spend the 48 hours in limbo.....

I took the NCLEX on Wed Aug 30. I about brokedown at question 50, because there was no way that I was going to be able to pass the exam. I kept getting the priority, teaching, select all that apply and infection control. The exam shut off at 75 after 1 1/2 hours and I just sat there for a few minutes. There was NO WAY that I passed because I only felt comfortable with about 2 of the questions that I answered. What a rollercaoster I have been on! Yesterday I started my game plan for taking the NCLEX for the second time, ie taking the KAPLAN course. But at 9:00 this morning my results were posted and I PASSED!!!! Even though I have been lurking in the forums for awhile and I have been reading the posts about how you feel when you are finished with the exam, I truly had no idea how hard it is to wait for the results. So the point of this post is to save your fingernails and read and re-read the sticky post about what to do while waiting for the results. If I can do it anybody can!!

First of all, I want to say congratulations to you, and secondly, it seems to never pay when you second guess yourself.

Hope you enjoy working as a nurse!

Re: For those that have to spend the 48 hours in limbo.....

ARGHH! I was ok yesterday thinking "Oh, I'll be ok waiting 48 hours". Yeah, right. I took it 8/31, and today I'm really antsy to find out what happened. I truly do not know how I did. I was really relieved when I finished, but.......I wouldn't bet on either failing or passing. Why can't they let you know when you finish whether or not you passed??????
