Well it's over. I walked out of there feeling numb and stunned. My computer shut off at 75. I had about 5 select all that apply (only one of whick I think I got right ), TONS of teaching and priority. A couple on delegation. Also a TON on medication! The medications are what are worrying me most, I was pretty much clueless on which answer to pick. As far as the others, I could usually narrow it down to two answers, but still guessed a lot. I have no idea if I passed...now the wait. What a horrible feeling.:uhoh3:

jess sounds like we got the same test... i am sure you did better than you think.. i got alot of meds too.. i guessed because some i never heard of and some i just didn't know the answer.. you got 75 questions just like me.. ooh man... you are in my prayers.. i was in shock when i got out of that place.. i think i only got 1 check all that apply right too.. i was getting 3 of them in a row.. well now we wait... lets keep praying...

I feel your anxiety! I was a wreck! I wonder why that test leaves you feeling so..........I don't know. I cleaned sooooo much yesterday it wasn't funny. That was the first time it felt GOOD to clean, really helped to keep my mind off it, but the second I stopped I started obsessing. Try not to do that. I had 75 q's, found out I passed and so will you!:balloons:

i know you dont want to hear this but: dont worry! I felt the exact same way. And i even knew of at least 7 or 8 questions that I definitely got wrong...because i looked them up when i got home. I called the BON today and was told I had a license in my name...so (hopefully) that means I passed....Im sure you will too....

the waiting is the most horrible feeling...I know

Stunned is exactly how I felt, too. I kept telling myself that I there was no way I could have failed with my nursing school GPA, but I knew I guessed at the majority of the questions. I only had one "pick all that apply", a few herbal questions, two med questions, two peds, and no OB (my specialty!) and lots of psych.

Bottom line - worrying now won't change the outcome. Spend 5 minutes deciding what you will do if you don't pass, and then try to forget about it! I'll bet you passed, like I did!

Guys i also took my NCLEX today and i got 75 questions. I am walked out feeling confused and unsure of myself. I dont know how i did because when i came home and checked some of the questions, i did not feel too strongly for my answers anymore. I got 5 select all that apply, a lot of prioritization and delegation questions as well as medications i have never heard before. I hope i pass this test.
