Losing it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

by wannab1

Okay... I took the test on June 27th ... and I went to 190 questions and almost the entire time (shut off after 5 hours and 55 minutes) I know this sounds famliar, but I cant believe that I could pass. I started to panic when I seen the time. It feels like a blur. cant sleep or eat. feel like failure to my family. I am so exhausted mentally and physically.

Hi losing it! I've lost it too! It's 3:07 am MST. I took the test on the 26th. I cried all night and I've been up the past two nights too. I know exactly how you feel! I went 140 before it shut off. Won't have results until Tues. . I have four little ones and I miss them and my husband. This test seems so unfair, especially when you have test anxiety and do not test well to begin with. I've just been praying hard that I pass. Hang tuff!

I totally under stand everyone's pain. I couldn't eat or sleep since Thursday.......the people who came up with this is cruel. Why torture people like this. After 200 questions and 4hrs my computer shuts off and that felt like my life was sucked from my body. That was chapter one. Chapter two starts with me
Thanking everyone for all their prayers and well wishes......I have been praying so much I thank God was really starting to feel pity for me....I took my test in Delaware because Maryland didn't have anymore opening slots and because of this I didn't think I could use the quick result and if I could I would have to wait 2 business days to get results however just by mistake I decided to look up the phone number to the quick result and while doing this I logged on to the pearson site only to see the quick result link availble now let me tell you that was really bizarre since I have been looking at this all morning just hoping I could use that feature. I immediately called a friend and told her that I could get my results by paying but I was scared....To be told you failed is better if it's free.....she encouraged me to use the feature I did with prayer in my heart and found out........................that I indeed PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! people who never experienced this type of dred could not possible know how relieved I was and I wanted to be an inspiration to everyone who is still waiting and know that I will be praying very hard like I did for myself for you to come out of this on top. Thanks everyone for your support during this stressful time........I just looked back and realized that to have failed would have been so hard to deal with by telling my friends and co workers who kept saying you will be fine your an LPN you can do this with your eyes closed....I would like to say to people who think this that NCLEX world does not care what your previous capabilities were......it has not bearing, it's a sucky test and it makes you feel like you know nothing. I want everyone who hasnt found out yet to keep pushing til the end, I know it's hard but pulling all of our prayers together is helpful.....thanks again for your support

Just wanted to let you know I called the quick result phone number for the NCLEX about thirty minutes ago and I passed! Now, I'm going to take another pepcid to help with my stomach acid! Please let me know when you find out ok. Thanks so much for being up with me last night. I knew that some where back east somebody else knew what I was going through. You are in my prayers! I know you will do it!
