Took the Beast today

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

So here it goes...

108 questions, the machine shuts off and I want the question back...Time out I think I said...but the blue screen of death was staring me in the face. Then they have the gall to ask me to fill out a survey...:trout:

No calculations, a few drugs, a few Psych, a few Peds, a few maternity, A few basic Med/Surg, the rest Priority and therapeutic communications.

I graduated with a 3.75 and won lots of awards in the process. But nothing prepared me for this test. I knew most of the questions...but the answers I wanted just weren't there. Not sure what to think.

I am not the negative, "oh my God I failed type", so I will hold that thought but I really don;t have a whole lot of confidence after 2 hours of scratching my head wondering where I went wrong.

I only graduated 4 weeks ago and other told me I was rushing, but the truth is nothing I was studying or planning on studying would have changed much anyway.

48 hours and we will see.

I wish those of you who already passed the best of wishes and those of us that are waiting to find out the patience of some friendly saints.

Good luck to you Dave. I'm a new grad and still waiting for my ATT so I can get the beast over and done with and hopefully pass the 1st time. Not looking forward to it with all the experiences I'm reading on this board.

Hey! Good Luck to you! I found out yesterday that I passed the NCLEX-RN. I was so relieved. I had 80-85 questions, and could not believe when the screen went blank. I was wanting more, and I know that is insane. I thought there should have been more to it. It was not what I expected at all. I am sure that you passed. Good luck again!!!!!!! Keep us informed.
