Took NCLEX-RN Exam today (YIKES!!!)

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Wow, I took my NCLEX-RN exam this morning and boy was it hard! It seemed like every 4th or 5th question was "Select All That Apply" and I really suck at those. The good thing is that I only had the minimum amount of questions (75) and from what I hear that means I either really bombed it or passed. I hope I passed! I won't know until 48 business hours have passed but I'll keep you updated.

Have you taken it? How many questions did you do? Pass or fail? How did you prepare for it? I read the Kaplan strategy book, did practice questions from both Kaplan and Saunders books & CDs, and reviewed lab values. Hopefully it paid off! Wish me luck and I also wish you the best if you haven't taken it yet!:yeah:

Hello I'm new to the website. I thought the examine was terrible I also took it yesterday!!! I got 265 questions and I'm pretty sure I failed. I will keep you in my prayers and I pray that you did well. 75 questions seems to be the comforting number.

Good Luck :typing

I'm so sorry that you feel like you failed. Did you do the pearsonvue trick?

The NCLEX-RN was one of the most bizarre tests I have ever taken. Weird questions. Did not reflect what was taught in nursing school, or the content of those thousands of NCLEX practice questions. I did very well in school, and now I just feel blank & bewildered, as though I had to guess at each question. I have all this knowledge in my head from nursing school, and I feel as though only a tiny fraction of it was even reflected in this test. Odd.

congrats!!!:yeah:

thanks:d

I had trouble with the NCLEX and had failed. I took a review course and then passed. I thought I failed when I retook it as my mind was elsewhere since the day before my car broke down and it costs $900 to fix and I was basically broke after that. But hey, had to have a car for my current job. Now I am looking for an RN job, but most hospitals I have found only hire at certain times of year for new grads typically January and June and have new hires go through an extensive orientation which includes classroom work and on the floor 1 to 1 experiences with an experienced nurse. So unless I can find a job someplace I have to basically wait until January.

Good luck to you

Hi all,

I took the NCLEX yesterday and got 75 questions. It was hard. I felt like all the really important stuff that we need to know was not part of the test. I just really hope I passed. I did the pearson trick and got the pop up so I hope it really is accurate. I will post once I find out.

HI All. I just checked IndianaSBN again and this time my name was there with my license# and the words REGISTERED NURSE..I took so much hard work and dedication, (6 Years) . I left pearsonvue feeling in my heart of hearts that I flunked. I realize every one says that..but really that's how it feels. got so many SATA it made me think i kept missing them. who know maybe i did but the bottom line I passed and its really hard to read into the test and the test amount 75 question 100, or 250 it impossible to read into it. we all get different questons etc. thanks for letting me vent..and I wish everyone the best of luck on NCLEX and the eternity of waiting for results.
