Ahhh!!! Anyone else feel this way?! Do you think I passed?

Published

So I'm absolutely certain I failed. I have been studying with ATI and Kaplan, passed nursing school with no problem but I know I failed my NCLEX this morning. This is the worst day ever! I went in there thinking that because I've done over 2000 questions I was prepared, along with reading the Kaplan book and doing ATI tests. I studied all day for the last week with content and questions from the qbank quizzes from Kaplan. The first 30 questions didn't seem bad, but then I just didn't know anything. I studied cardiac and respiratory drugs, not things like lipitor and fosamax (I didn't concentrate on those when I studied). I didn't have any med calc, mostly prioritizing and lab values and then it shut off at 90 questions!!! I felt like I guessed on so many questions. I was done in a little over an hour. I'm freaking out because I feel like even though I studied so much (I made sure I was getting 90% and above on my kaplan qbank quizzes before today) I still feel like a failed and I"m in the 15%. Seriously, an hour?! Please help I can't stop crying and feeling like a loser!:bluecry1:

I have been on this board for awhile and have yet to see someone post in the NCLEX forum, "I just got back from the NCLEX exam and I nailed that sucker!"

Nope...never.

Everyone thinks that they failed when they take the test.

We're definitely in the same boat as of the moment! I took my NCLEX today and had a ton of Pharm that I didn't focus on either even a lot of herbals!! I felt like I guessed on most of them and those were a majority of my questions!.. I'm feeling down in the dumps too :crying2: -- but I'm really trying to take everyone's advice in that this is a normal feeling... I really do feel like I failed it myself as well... so you are definitely not alone!

hopefull2009 is right! think that you passed rather than you failed.. this is now the time to cry (if needed), and enjoy the life that you left when school began. this is the time to call friends, family, and significant others.

i felt the same way when i took the boards, but the best part of it all was after i left the building, i looked outside and saw how beautiful the day was. i totally forgot how wonderful it was to be outside, since i began nursing school, that all i did was enjoy my day. i called my friends and family and got the support i needed. the following days awaiting my results, i did what i was good at. i went to the beach and got a nice tan, i watched the movies that i was dying and wishing i will one day watch. i slept til wee hours. i talked on the phone for hours. i cleaned my room and washed my dirty car. i kept busy while i waited. but what i didn't forget was that i deserve everything that i did. i worked hard for a while and it was time for me to enjoy.

say: "i passed!" "i passed!" "i passed!":typing
