Are priority questions really a good thing?

[mama, bsn]

hi, i just took my nclex yesterday morning and it shut off at 75 questions. i felt like i guessed on everything! i had 2 ob questions maybe 1 peds, 2 mh, and all the rest were med surge questions on diseases that we maybe spent 5 minutes learning! i also had a whole lot of priority questions! i have been hearing this is a good thing. can anyone tell me why this is a good thing? i accepted an amazing job with great benefits, no weekends or nights, and paid holidays and it is contigent on me passing boards!

Priority questions are considered higher level. That is a good thing to get on the exam. :)

I guess you were all right. I had 75 questions and passed. It feels great to be a nurse!!!
