265

Congrats!!!

Congratulations RN ?

I have been on AN for awhile now, and just wanted to announce that on Friday the 13th I took my NCLEX and got 265 questions. I really never thought it was going to end, and got angrier which each question I received. I thought for sure I failed.

I did the Pearson Vue trick and recieved the "good pop up" but was still not convinced that it worked, I was on edge all weekend long and finally tonight it is official I PASSED my NCLEX.

I would also like to add that I did the KAPLAN reveiw course and the course, along with the qbanks and qtrainers are defiantly a big reason of why I passed my NCLEX.

Good luck everyone who will be taking theirs!

Congratulations!!!! :)

Good Job. I'm happy for you.

Wonderful News! Congratulations!

Congrats!!!

But I'm an old dog--from back in the day when you had to sit in a giant auditorium for two full days with a few hundred of your closest friends--everyone in the state who graduated that year-- taking the test that never ends (NCLEX, circa 1990's).

I kind of giggle at the new generation: "OMG, everyone! I had to answer 180 questions!" Uh huh. Talk to me when you're on question #654.

I also kind of feel sorry for new grads and their NCLEX experience these days. NCLEX used to be a sort of ritual and a rite of passage. My classmates and I booked hotel rooms, had a beer or two and played pool each night before the test to deal with the nerves.

It was a happy, celebratory occasion! It was also nice to leave those two days of hell-testing and not worry about PVT. It was done, and it was a group celebration!
