Took NCLEX yesterday(8/6)---Stopped at 75...others??


Took my boards and it stopped at 75 questions. I am freaking out and possibly forming an ulcer in the process. Since I took it on Saturday, does anyone know when quick results show up from experience. It seems like most people who stop at 75 pass, even though I know that the number you stop at has nothing hypothetically to do with whether you passed or not. I had a lot of pick the priority patient to see, LOTS of drug questions, and patient confidentiality/isolation precaution questions. I don't know if they were easy or hard. They were HARD to me. I graduated with high distinction and I really don't feel that I did well. I wanted MORE questions!!! Anyone in the same boat? I must have checked the quick results page a hundred times!

If your state participates in the early results from Pearson-Vue, your results will be there on Monday morning. Not before.

Take the time for yourself today and go and do something fun.

Hi Liz..I took my NCLEX on Wednesday and got my results exactly 48 hours later (Friday). I to had 75 questions- prioritizing, infection control, select all that apply, ob, peds and drug..whew! But I passed and am now an RN. And, I felt horrible when I left the test...I graduated also magna cum laude but after taking the test I felt low, low, low. Remember, you have all that theory in your head from school, and did well. You'll feel like you are second guessing, but that critical thinking is there. I don't think anyone feels great after leaving the exam area. Have faith, and as easy as it sounds find something relaxing to do that will occupy the time...it helped me. At 10pm the night before getting results, I was shampooing my living room rug...it help the time spent thinking. All may good thoughts and wishes are with you. Hope that you have success in your results and let us all know how you made out!!!!

Congratulations!!!! That is great news!! Enjoy!

I'm waiting for my results as we speak. I'm trying to stay calm but keep doubting myself. I hope I passed because that was the worse thing ever to study for.
