I took my NCLEX-PN yesterday (DEPRESSED)

Hi Givingup

I know exactely how ure feeling right now so here is my story. I took my nclex-pn on janaury 22, 2018, That night of 21 i dint sleep was in bed tossing around worried how its going to be , what am going to do next if i fail thinking about all kind of things until 4 am. I dint really get a good rest /sleep as its recommended and i woke up very sleepy and kind of tired but had to keep going could not postpone it because it was too late. The testing center was 2 hrs drive from my house got there around 730 my test was at 800 am.To cut story short went in and sat down for my test, the first 10 qns was super easy but things went on getting harder and harder . For some reason my mind was set at computer shutting down at 85 qns because 2 of my friends whom we had same scores in class passed at 85 qns. At 85th qn the computer dint shut down to be honest i almost had a heart attack ,i could not think or breath anymore i had already used 3 hrs . I raised my hand to take a break, i went to the restroom knelt down on my knees and said "PLEASE GOD THERE'S NO WAY AM GOING TO FAIL THIS TEST PLEEEEASE I NEED YOUR HELP I NEED YOU RIGHT NOW AT THIS MINUTE". i did some breathing exercises and went back in and God answered my cry at 90 qns the computer shut down.When this happened was like in shock asking myself what in hell just happened yet i was praying for computer to shut down.I went back to my car feeling like a failure that have disappointed all the people who sarcrificed their time for me mostly my hubby who took off work 2 weeks before my test in order for me to study because we have a 9 months old baby. The waiting was too much for me and all i could do is pray and on january 26 started thinking about plan B just in case i have failed the nclex so started to get on internet looking for jobs preparing myself for any good or bad news. On january 29, 2018 i received the letter saying i passed.

what helped me

_Try to practice 100 qns a day because i was practising i was able to keep on going after 85th qns

_ Go checkout the test center before your testing day, u will know the exact room or building ure going to and how the parking is , all for preparations.

_And pray pray pray and do your best God will do the rest, study, study study i mostly used saunders.

Hope this helps you or someone else going through the same and am praying for you i know you passed.

Don't worry about it. When you get your results, pay for another test. Just study different next time.

You are not a loser! Stop it! Your mother is your biggest supporter. You can do it, don't focus on failing. Focus on passing, answer every question like you already are an LVN. You can do it, don't give up.

dont be upset! just focus and keep trying, im in the same boat myself.
