Post Nclex Psychosis...

Keep in mind that both passers and failers tend to score around 50% on the NCLEX, so you're basically set up to feel bad walking out of there. There have been many, many posters here with your same feelings and it's turned out that most of them have passed. One calculation question doesn't mean anything in regard to pass/fail. And keep away from your books! :)

Good luck on your results. Let us know what you find out.

thank you Eric. Yes, i have done a good deed by staying away from my books...i'm tempted, but i realize nothing can change now and it wont help me get my results any faster!! now its just the waiting game!

Nurselene...

Remember to BREATHE now!

Sending Happy thoughts and vibes your way too...(had to send some to wannabe)

It is hard waiting to hear that everything your worked for is finally done....you really ARE the nurse now!!!

Waiting to hear fabulous things soon!!!

yes. I had a margarita today at dinner and will be celebrating in Vegas this weekend..Just finishing the test is reason enough to celebrate, regardless of results!

NurseLene, I know how you feel. I took mine today and got 75. I don't feel like I had proven myself yet.

The worst feeling I have is that none of my questions felt totally crazy and out of left field. Most of the time I could narrow it down to 2 answers.

It's going to be a loooong 48 hours

Jenn,

I think the waiting is the worst part of this whole process. I was silently begging the computer to give me more. When it turned off at 75, I almost screamed. I could narrow most down to 2 answers, except for 1 or 2. But now I'm starting to question if the rationales that I used were right. I had 2 questions on the same class of drugs, so that's probably not a good thing. I also had what felt like the exact same question reworded!! Also not a good thing...I picked different answers the second time around because I was thinking I probably got the other one wrong (why else would they be giving me the same questions twice~!). Anyway, I really hope that we both have good news in a couple of days (probably weeks for me since I am in CA!).

In the meantime, I'm trying to be a normal person. =)

hy nurselene,

my first test, i had only 75 questions, and i failed!!!!

I had a lot of calculations and 5 select all.......

now, i'm tested yesterday and at 185 it broke off........ i had 90% delegetaiton and which client first, only one calculation..... and 3-4 med......

I'm totally confused now, and I try to get NOT CRAZY:confused:

the only thing, that we can do, now is (i hate to say that....) WAITING:chair:

i wish you luck and a bundle of nerves...

be strong...:pumpiron:

best wishes

elfchen

Thanks Elfy.

I feel like I really took my time on that test, and if I failed, I'm not sure how to approach the second one..I felt cool, calm collected..

I knew at least 5 of those 75 questions..the rest were educated guesses.

Right now I have a big lump in my throat and chest. I feel like I can't breathe a full breath until I find out these results. Whether I passed or fail, I would just like to know how I did...waiting is the worst part.

I hope to hear good news from you in a couple of days. =)

Yes! I am trying to breathe, but I feel like I can't take a full deep breath until I know my results. Either way, I would like to know just so I can have closure already!!

Anyway, thank you for your kind words, I will definitely let you know when I get my results...
