I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

Yall, Will Pass, Think Positive And Trust God.

ok, so heres my thing, i took my test today, had 89 questions, think i got the last one right, and a majority of the others, honestly i had difficulty with...so, what the heck does that mean? i mean, it was an easy question, which ment i probably had been getting a lot wrong up to that point, so if i gotthe last one right, why would it cut off if i failed? youde think the way its set up i would have passed...im stressed out. so if you fail, what does the internet/phone say, if youre not in a quick result state?

Three classmates of mine have passed with 89 questions (this month). Of those three, one thought the test was easy and the other two were sure they had failed. Keep in mind, easy to one person is hard to another! Hope that can bring you some comfort. Best of luck and prayers to you!

i took my test first thing yesterday (5/15/07) morning and the test stopped at 110 questions. i was sure i had failed. i didn't know many of the cultural postmortem questions as well as a few meds, but used what i did know to make reasonable guesses. it must have worked, because my name is now posted on our state's website with a license number issued! you did fine...just believe in yourself (like i took my own advice ) :balloons: :balloons: :balloons:

best of luck,

I think the culture questions were not counted, as all my classmates got them, and we all had no clue what the answers were..but all of us passed.

I strongly suspect that some of the medication questions were not counted in my case, because there were quite a few that I really didn't know. The ones I didn't know were not common meds that we spoke of in classes, or suggested by the review class that I took. Either way, I did pass, so, I am glad that nightmare is over.

i knew it was true that results were sometimes posted within the same or the very next day. congrats to you!!

This is my first time on the site I hate to hear how everyone has stress after taking the NCLEX-PN but i took it today and I'm right there with ya!!This site has made me feel a little less sick and calmed me down just a little. Mine cut off at 85 and I also feel like i failed!! We do have the quick result option here in TN and i will be checking within 48 hours. If i had to wait 3-4weeks i would go nuts!!! Congrats on all who have passed:balloons: and i sit quietly waiting:uhoh3: !

Just to let everyone know I did pass according to the

quick results!!!!! It has not posted on the TN website yet i was just wondering if anyone knows how long that usually takes?

Hi everyone, I'm new here, I was reading things here on the 18th after I took my NCLEX PN, the computer shut off at 85 and I wasn't expecting to get 85 questions only. I was hoping somewhere in the middle, but when that computer shut off at 85, my heart dropped and thought that I had failed and left the testing center drained. Friday night to Sunday night was hell for me, I tried to keep myself busy to try not to think about the boards. The more I thought of if and looking up the questions I remembered made me feel worse and worse thinking that I failed, but found out yesterday that I passed. Well, an "unofficial" pass from pearson. So to those who are going to be taking your NCLEX soon, you never know. Stay calm (although I know it's easier said than done) but it helps alot.

Congrats!! I live in New York, also. I felt the same way you did...I wanted to get at least 100 questions, because I was sure (based on how I studied) that 100 questions was a sure bet. I would find that out of each 100 practice questions I did, I would get 15-20 incorrect. I did not know how to wrap my brain around the computer shutting down at 85 questions!! I walked out of there dejected, had to wait the entire weekend, just to discover that I did, in fact, pass. I was shocked but glad to get that nightmare overwith.

to BigB i was so glad to hear that u passed:balloons: :balloons: :monkeydance: after all that time of torture but i'm wondering what ever happened to popcorn21?
