For the past few weeks I have been reading all the different posts about taking the NCLEX. So I thought I would post to relieve some stress and get some opinions. I took it yesterday, and left in tears. I got two math quetions, which were easy, a ton of priority questions, like "Which patient woudl you see first...", and a lot of questions like, "You are a home health nurse and you recieved these phone messages. WHich patient do you call back first?". I feel like I am being tortured by waiting for the results. The test shut off at 165 questions, and I thought it was never going to end. I am so beside myself, that I don't know how I am going to sleep tonight. Please give me some advice to cope with this stress. I feel like I for sure failed.

So, how did you answer these questions? Like the one about a home health nurse...which one do you call back first or which one to see first when you get your assignment for the day as a home health nurse???? I'm sorry I just had to ask because I'm prpearing to take the exam for the second time and I remember I had those questions too...Goodluck to you!! Sorry, not that much of help here...

I can so relate. I took the boards in July and failed with 265! I studied for 2 months straight and re took yesterday and computer shut off at 85. I am a mess waiting for results. I was hoping to be posted on MBON before quick results tomorrow, but does not look like that is going to happen. I could tell you to relax but then I would not be following my own advice. I have a H/A, N/V, and tachycardia I hate the NCLEX! School was nothing compared to this torcher! I wish you the best, and hope you too pass and get your results ASAP, for our mental health! I have never been this stressed in my LIFE! Keep me posted! I will keep my fingers crossed!

Consider this a "Rite of Passage". Let's hope you passed. In the meantime, Check this thread:

I completely understand your anxiety. I had to wait three weeks in CA for my results and I thought I would drive myself and my friend and family completely batty. I know you'll be just fine , hang in there. I know its pure torture. Try reading a fashion magazine or something thats not nursing or NCLEX related. It really helped keep my mind off things and kept me from sitting in front of the computer refreshing the licensing screen every ten seconds.
