Re: 75 Questions on NCLEX, pass or fail?
Alrighty...so I sat for my NCLEX on Tuesday the 10th at 8:00am. I had done the tutorial days prior so I knew when I started I could cruise through that section so that I could spend as much time on the test as possible. Anyway, I started. It started easy, you know, basic knowledge questions. Then it started to get tough. A lot of priority questions. And a big handful of Pharm questions...I had no clue what the heck those meds were!!! Around question 50 I decided that I was going to take extra time and just kick butt...well as much as I could anyway. By question 70 I thought to myself that I was going to at least question 110 or 130. After I answered number 75 the thing had shut off...I was done. I walked out feeling like complete crap. I felt like I guessed of far too many questions. I had a total of 3 alternative format questions...all of them were "Select all that apply." I had no other type of alternative question, and the biggest bummer was that I had NO math questions.
To sum things all up last night at 2:30 am my license was posted on the CA BRN website!! I am so excited! The loss of my social life and all the missed social activies all paid off at that one moment!
