Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh 85 questions

Published

I took the nclex yesterday it shut off at 85 questions, the more I sit here and go over and look up questions I remember I am second guessing myself and thinking I failed. I already have a job offer but all I can think about is that I failed and how disappointing this will be to myself, family and friends. I don't even know how I am going to be able to sleep tonight.

UGH:crying2:

Hang in there, try not to think about what sort of questions you had, the test is designed I am sure to make you go mental afterwards :D. Good luck

Ohh sweetie how I can relate to you. I took my NCLEX-PN last week (7/9) and waiting out those 48 hours was sheer torture! I finally found out I passed 49 hrs after testing.

Did you take the RN or PN test?

If you took the LPN exam, it might make you feel a bit better if I tell you I took the test and got 85 and passed. Three classmates of mine also got 85 questions and passed.

The chances of passing the NCLEX (either the RN or the PN) are higher than failing the exam. You have an 85 in 100 chance of passing! Those odds are very good!

Try to preoccupy yourself with activities that are not health related, nursing related etc. whats done is done and you can't change it now. Go out and do something fun for the next day or so. Take that "me" time you haven't been able to do since you started school.

I'm sure you did fine. Try to relax. Please keep up posted.

Hi hopefulnurse2b -

I took mine yesterday too (RN) and it shut off at 75... I'm doing the same thing, I am 90% sure I failed, and I was #3 in my nursing class, but don't think that means anything...the nclex questions were so awful, I got so many 'select all that apply' that completely throw me. I can't wait to find out too, so I can just get on with my life.

The NCLEX is designed to mess with your brain, I swear. I had 220 questions and passed. At least I think it was 220. My brain went a little numb around 160.

At any rate - no matter what, you will be okay. Many blessings.

Hey don't worry about the number of questions and don't go over anything else. Go do something fun to get your mind off of things and try to relax. Good luck....:icon_hug:

Well I just took my NCLEX-PN today, the computer shut off at 85, I had 20 select all that apply questions, and I felt like I didnt know anything, I am about 95% sure that I failed. It is so hard because I worked so hard in class studied all the time and graduated 1st in my class. But I felt like a village somewhere out there is missing it's idiot. I keep trying to tell myself that I need to put this in God's hands but I cant help but feel a sense of dread. Please pray for me and I will keep you all updated.

Well it is 2 days after I took my test, my state does not do the early results thing so I will have to wait. The first person in our class who took the test passed and it took about 5 days for her to get her results. I am feeling pretty empty right now, I dont know what to do with myself. I am so use to studying or going to class or clinicals and now it is just sit here and wait it is driving me crazy. I cant do anything but sit here and pray. I keep trying to tell myself that it is all done and over and whatever the results are they are already set so stop thinking about it. I just cant get the butterflies out of my stomache. I just dont know how I will tell my family and my friends if I didnt pass, I will feel like I disappointed them somehow. But again I will keep you all updated. Good luck to the rest of you who are still waiting for your results.:confused:

I know exactly how you are feeling, especially anxiety over disappointing everyone, but they will be very supportive. I know this is easier said than done, but I tried to keep myself really busy while I was waiting for my results. Sounds like you have a longer wait. I cleaned, I took my kids swimming, I took the dogs to the vet & bathed them, I did EVERYTHING I could think of so I wasn't just sitting around watching TV wondering and worrying. Try to stay positive...:icon_hug:
