Took NCLEX RN today..

hey everyone..so I was in real hell. Got 180 question, after 100 my brain and eyes didn't work.
I didnt know it may be so difficult...it was a nightmare. Very difficult questions, few calculations, tones of pharmacology that I never heard, not too many sata. I am thinking how much knowledge has to have an american nurse? Some of the questions were an example of taking responsibility off the doctor...

Bad feeling and feel very low..

It's easier said than done, but just try to keep yourself busy and just try not to think about it! The more you think about the more negative thoughts you put in your head and the more more miserable you will feel!

I sincerely hope all goes well for you! Just have that faith in yourself. Dont loose that! That will keep you strong!

Let us know how you did! Cross my fingers for you!!

I take take my RN boards this Tuesday the 22nd!

Re: Took NCLEX RN today..

I took the exam a while ago at exactly 12.30 pm at gardena..I thought it will stop at 75 but it keeps on going and going..It stopped at 216..

5-10 computations
10 satas
majority are prioritization and delegation

Those are the type of questions that you actually want to see the most of, so that is definitely in your favor.

Please keep us posted on how you do.

Working as a nurse in the US is very different from many other countries, many things are done differently and there are many more responsibilities that the nurse has.

Best of luck to you on your results, just take this time to do things for yourself, there is nothing to do until you get your results.

Re: Took NCLEX RN today..

Hello all...I completed the NCLEX-RN exam on wed. and I have been a complete mess every since. I made so many careless mistakes and 2nd guessing myself that it makes my anxiety about failing even worse. I didnt answer the dosage the way the bold print told me to, so I carelessly missed 2 simple dosage and I had sooooo many priority questions and I feel like I guessed on 98% of them. I apprecitate websites such as this because I have been reading comments for the last 2 days & it makes me feel like I am not the only one going through a rough waiting period. I have been crying since the test and I am so full of extreme anxiety that I cant think straight. I have an hour and 20 min's to determine my fate and I'm so scared at this point.
