Torture in waiting

I took my NCLEX- PN tuesday. I'm so scared I didn't pass. It seemed like I didn't know the questions/ There was always 2 good answeres and it seemed like I had to guess on most of them. And of couse the only test questiong that I can remember are the ones that i think i got wrong. I got 85 questions. I won't know if i passed until September. Has anyone heard of anyone getting the min number and failing? Also how do you relieve the anxiety of waiting and if you fail how long does it take/ what do you have to do to retest? If you pass what do you have to do to get your license?

Hang in there! People do pass and fail at all numbers, but the odds are greatly in your favor to pass. September is a long time to wait - I'm sorry you're having to go through that. Although I think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves, the waiting time between NCLEX attempts will vary from state to state, usually somewhere from 45 to 90 days.

I know it's really hard not to worry when you have to wait, whether it's one day or a month. I passed with 85 questions. Keep the faith during the waiting.
