I took my NCLEX-PN today, and I left feeling very discouraged. I had the minimum of 85 questions on my exam. I was subjected to several alternative-type questions. I don't think that anything could have prepared me for that exam. I was an A student in all of my classes. I bought the Mosbys NCLEX-PN study guide. I don't recommend buying this book. It didn't prepare me for my exam. I am feeling quite low right now. I pray to God that I passed. I do not want to go through that exam again! God bless everyone! :)

The NCLEX-PN was "weird" as far as I'm concerned. I don't know how quite to put it, I knew the answers, but the questions were written strangely. It was logical, though. A very easy question, then something out of left field. If I though about the hard ones for a bit, it came to me. Don't stress over them, it's ALL critical thinking. I got about 2 or 3 questions dealing with memorized info. I passed with 85.

Everyone I know personally, including myself, felt depressed after the exam. But everyone I know, except for one, has passed. So don't let how you think you did get you down. I wish I had taken my own advice. I ate three candy bars on the way home from the test! Boy did I feel sick and sluggish the next day!

Ya'll are scaring me. Took NCLEX yesterday. Mine cut off after 123 questions. I studied Saunders and Kaplan and my school also offered a 2 day class for Nclex review. Graduated with a 3.92 GPA and put hours into studying for boards, but when I walked out of that room I felt like I was in no way prepared for that test. It was the worst thing I've ever been through. I have no idea whether or not I passed that test. The biggest bummer is I Live in Louisiana and our state boards doesn't participate in the quick score review you can get on line after 48 hrs., so I'm at the mercy of snail mail. Ya'll keep your fingers crossed for me and pray for me some patience.

I too, took my NCLEX exam yesterday. The entire experience has been horrible! I did not get my ATT to test until two weeks after everyone else. I scheduled my appointment online only to discover that when I showed up on Tuesday (75 miles away) that they did not have me on the schedule at all. Several phone calls and tears later, PearsonVue fit me in at their Princeton location...100 miles away from where I was for the next morning. Nonetheless, my husband and I drove to Princeton on Tuesday, spent the night, and then the rest is history.

I feel like I failed. I really do. I am the last one to test in my class of 22 and am not sure how I am going to face them if I failed. I can't stand this waiting game. This blog has been helpful for me...but this is truly horrible.

P.S. This is my first post.

Oh...good luck! I am still kind of shell shocked from the whole experience...I never wished you good luck...

Thanks GAPeachINjersey. I wish you luck too. Please keep me posted and let me know how you did. Do you like in New Jersey? If so, looks like your state boards participates in the Quick Review so you should be able to get your results today?

I didn't think it was easy when I took it. I passed with 85 questions also.
