Re: my 10th nclex-rn exam...finally I PASSED!
Hello! First off I want to say congratulations! That is such great news and I am so happy for you! I truly admire your strength, drive and determination! I just took the NCLEX today and also stopped at 75 questions. I am sooo worried. My heart will not stop pounding . . STILL! I just feel like the whole "having higher level questions is a good sign" theory, really threw me off the whole time throughout the test. I kept asking myself is this a higher level question? I got a handful or more of SATA q's, few pharm, priority, delegation, analyzing labs and deciding which is most concerning, a couple of s/s of diseases, two weird which food is high in iron/folic acid (to me this is lower level), one drug calculation problem and a couple infection control. My last two question was an arrange the correct order question and a question on drug interactions with beta blockers. I just feel like towards the end I should have had harder higher level questions. When it got to 75, and the computer started thinking/ analyzing and it stopped. I was thinking, "ARE YOU SERIOUS! I NEED MORE QUESTIONS TO PROVE THAT I AM ABOVE COMPETENCY!". I just felt numb, right after. It's driving me crazy just thinking about the questions I think I might have gotten right, and what I might have gotten wrong.
My question is, the times that you did fail at 75 questions. What kind of questions did you get? I'm really just trying to rationalize my chances of failing or passing. It's so hard to wait 3-4 days for my results! Ugh!
Anyways, on a high note -- I am so happy for you that you got through this terrifying test!

You should definitely treat yourself to a fun wonderful and relaxing time! You should definitely go celebrate your wonderful accomplishment! Thanks for listening to me ramble!
