Anyone get 75 q's and not pass?

Beer may be good, but margaritas are better IMHO. That's what got me through the "48 hours from Heck." I can't answer your question, though. I had 75 and passed. Was SURE I had failed. Had nausea and diarrhea until I found out results----of course it COULDN'T have been from those margaritas, LOL! BREATHE! I'll be looking to see your "EUREKA" in a few days.

An anxious cyber-space nclex tester has posted an ad about how scared sick she is of waiting for test results. Which of the following would indicate the further teaching is necessary?

A) "I've gone from beer to vodka and now I'm taking Tylenol for my headache"

B) "My BUN was 1.355 so I should dilute it in vodka."

C) "Digitalis? What is that?"

D)"My heart is beating fast, even after the ginko I got from the guy on the corner but I'm certain that these 12 bananas and box of dried apricots will help"

Oh, this must be one of the new alternative, pick all that apply questions. I pick "C".

Well I took NCLEX today, took 75 questions then it cut off, i was thinking to my self "YES". But the more I thought about it I was thinking holy crap, I don't feel like I am ready, I still feel like I have more to prove. I walked out feeling sick to my stomach. Now the waiting game begins hopefully I will know 48 hrs later. I had a lot on TEACHING, I don't know if that is a good sign or not? When I got home I looked up several answers to my disappointment I got a lot of them wrong. I am hoping that it was the ones that I struggled with is the ones that I am remembering them so well.

NHSbaseball32,

You sound exactly like i did when i took my test on Friday. It shut off at 75 and I was like "Holy Crap.. thats it? That wasnt bad at all". But then i started to second guess myself. Everyone says they got a ton of priority questions but I really didnt feel like i did. I think i had maybe 10-15 of them, but i had a ton of teaching questions. Seriously, like every other question. I also went home and looked up a few (bad idea) and know I had gotten them wrong. I started to think that maybe I was getting easy questions and getting them wrong, so what if i failed at 75?! But... i found out today that i passed!!! So dont stress yourself out tooooo much (easier said than done, i know). But 75 questions and lots of teaching cant be a bad thing!

I know one girl that got 75 and didn't pass. I don't know what her deal was though - she was smart but maybe anxiety got to her.

Hi Nurseboy! Just wondering how long it took for you to get results? I took NCLEX last week (June 26th) in England and I cant get results out of my mind. Dont know whether they take longer to get results to international candidates?

Am already a Staff Nurse here so it is sooooo frustrating!!

I also got 75 questions only and answered in an hour.....

Arrrggghhhhhhhhhhhhh:mad:

smf,

Well that really makes me feel A LOT better in a way. I wasn't able to sleep last night, and I haven't ate anything yet today. I feel like CRAP!!! I have never fail a test in all my life, but with this one i am almost like 100% sure that I failed. I started thinking I might have had about 6 or so priority questions, and seriously the rest were teaching. I made soooooo many supid mistakes. I never had a problem with anxiety but just walking in to that place is so surreal. Felt like I was going to jail. I worked today as a NGRNP, and I wasn't even in the mindset to care for the patients. All I was thinking about was this. Did I pass??? Or did I not??? I know everyone feels like this after taking it, maybe I shouldn't have looked some of the questions up and I would've felt better. I will be able to look at the Alabama Board of Nursing to find out tomorrow around 8-10 to find out what the verdict is. Something is telling me...... its not good............
