I took my boards yesterday, also shut off at 75. 5 of my classmates already got their results and all passed. They also shut off at 75, except one at 81.
You can go to your state's board of nursing website after 4-5 days and do a search under new licenses issued. Your name will pop up with your license number; better than waiting to hear in the mail.

Does any one out there know of any one that failed with 75 questions?I know I shouldn't be asking this...It's probably going to make me even more nervous because I also shut of at 75! I just need to know!

Congratulations altern8!!!
Burger914: Try not to worry. I personally know of 6 people whose computer shut off at 75 questions (myself included), and passed. With the other ones listed just within this thread itself, the odds are with you. I haven't heard of anyone failing with 75 questions.

CONGRATULATIONS Altern8!!!! Woo Hoo for you! I still haven't heard...Monday will make it 2 weeks. I went to the State Board Website and it doesn't list new licenses issued anywhere...and so...I wait...

the way my luck goes (Murphys law) i would be the one that got shut off at 75 and failed. That seems to be the thing lately. Well, now i have a license, i find myself scared that i am NOW legally responsible for the life of others! AAACCKKKK! But i want to thank you all for your kind words, i guess it is a learned response that i freaked out, all those years of college for one last test.

I too got 75 questions when I took the exam last Monday. I was totally freaked out and spent the week very upset. I had convinced myself I had failed. I called the 1-900# and got my results on Friday and "unofficially" I had passed! Good luck and congratulations to all.
