Emotional MESS...HELP


Ok, I am freaking out. I just took the NCLEX exam this morning, 4/23/08 and I have no idea how I did. I got 75 questions, and the whole test was a blur. I had a pretty wide variety of questions, a number of infection control and calculation questions that I think I messed up on. I got pharm and priority, legal questions, maternal newborn, (ETC) that I think I answered correctly, but have no real idea. I am a emotional mess. I have worked so hard the last two years, to boil down to a 75 question test. Any idea of what my chances are of passing? Need support!

Unfortunately not one that can be predicted. All you can do is wait for results.

Good luck and let us know how it went for you

ouch, 'ive also took it today, enweiz, were on the same boat (emotionally labile), my story is here, slept only 5 hrs, wake up at 6am and ate only a small meal(thought it wont take that long but NOT). once starting the test, the 1st question is (i dont know wer it came from) and same for the rest, everything was like hell, its like reign of chaos falling down on me, my mind was almost blank all the time bcoz i dont know where to get the right answer, my subconscious mind just control my hand and click what he thinks best. it gave me lots of prioritizing questions some are ok but majority is insane .the only sanctuary for me is the meds/iv computations for what im really good at(100% sure, [i came from eng. course]) it gave me at least <=10 Correct answers. everything ends at 141th and the last 5 questions for what i remember is 4priority and last-(i dont know where the hell i came from). i leave the vacinity with a blank mind and don't know what the hell i did. i came home miserable bcoz i've forgot to ask the cute nclex-pn test taker chick's no. due to my unstable mind(we both finish at the same time, almost GOD sent but not). haaayzzz, so right now i have 3 regrets, and its killing me. the 3rd is im also heart broke 2wks from now. so, right now i'll gonna wait for 1 HELL-ish month for the result that i dont know if its pass or failed AND hoping i can ASSESS, DIAGNOSE, AND INTERVENE my increasingly unstable mind of becoming crazy("mentally ill" to be medical). my only dream now is just to pass this crazy nclex. And also, im NOT giving you more stress here, im giving u lesser-compare to my story.

PS:
1.This is a true story(no exxageration or watsoever)
2. MY P.Info: male 23, CA nclex-RN 1st tym taker
3. How about you?
4. Anyone who wants to help me, just dont bother, i can manage

Wait for the results before panicking just because you haven't received yours yet and your friend has doesn't mean you have failed

One exam has absolutely nothing to do with the second, if you do need to take it. As mentioned above, do not do anything until you have official word from the BON or BRN, if CA.
