Took a little over an hour, only 75 q's, that totally sucked. I didn't think the q's they were asking were of higher level either. A ton of the select all apply's too, of fun day!:bluecry1: I feel like I didn't know anything and am mortified I didn't get a chance to prove myself. Yes, yes, I know everyone feel's like this, but I think I did fail. There is nnnnnnnooooooooooo wayyyyyyy it was that easy. I tried to take my time, but didn't want to hang beyond what I thought the answer was b/c that's when you start making more mistakes by changing your answer. CRAP!! 75 questions, that sucks! I was afraid of that!! I have everyone counting on me to pass and I probably let them all down. I got in at 7:15am actually taking the test. I was hope early enough to take my kids to the sitter for cryin' out loud! You can't tell me that that was it. I had to have failed. I really hate all of this!:o:bluecry1:

i think you and i took the same test! i just took it this morning too and started crying as soon as I got in my car. I had 76 questions, I knew about 2 of them for sure...5 select all's...I dont think there is anyway that i passed. I am so depressed right now. I feel like I let my family down too

I know how you feel. I tested yesterday and when the computer shut off at around 80 I wanted to cry :bluecry1:. I felt like I was guessing on so many questions, or could narrow it down just between two for so many that I am at a loss when trying to figure out how I did. Deep down I do think I failed. Through the entire test I just remember thinking as long as I don't get shut off at 80 I have a chance!! When it happened I think I went into shock, there was a survey right after and I think I selected the first choice for everything because I couldn't even process what I was reading, it was like blanked out or went numb or something!! How in the world am I going to make it till Thursday for results. So much riding on this too, wanted to get a job (not on temp. permit) before I head back to school in the fall and failing will make that next to impossible, there just isn't enough time! UGGHHHHHH! This is torture!!! Well.... I'm not going to say what everyone else does which is "don't worry if you fail you can always take it over" (we should all remember this is a no-no :nono: in the "rules" of therapeutic communication.......double ughhh!) but what I can tell you is that you are not alone! Hang in there!!!!

Hey guys - I'm with you both too. I just took mine this morning and got 75 questions. Most didn't seem to be very high level of difficulty either, so I think I failed for sure. Ugh, now I have to go back to all my co-workers and work as an aid, I think that's going to be the worst part. I'm also scheduled to work a 12-hour shift on Thursday, so I can't decide whether to call for my results while I'm there in the morning or wait until I get home, bc I know i will ruin my day.

Well, I know of some ppl that their "active" status on state board web site was up late afternoon the next day. I asked today and they told me that State Board should have my results TODAY!:trout: I think the HESI was easier than this test. But if I did pass, I'd have to say that was a let down for NCLEX. I just feel kicked in the stomach. I'm grateful the kids are at the sitters so they don't have to watch me unravel. Gawd, the idea of having to study again just makes me sick!!:barf01:

I'm in Ohio, the results shouldn't be in today although I wish. I can't even remember many if any q's from my exam! I do remember approaching 75 and hoping I'd keep going and then it went blank. Just a horrible feeling. I feel like a huge weight is on my entire body. Just too depressing.

Hi yall,

Im in Indiana. I took my boards yesterday, was sure I failed (263 questions!) and checked the board of nursing website, and next to my name is a license number! I think that means I passed. This was within 24 hours of taking my test. Soooo, check your state board website and search for your name. Good luck!

Hello,

I'm in Illinois and we have to apply for licensure 'after' we get our NCLEX results so I am not sure that IL would work the same, (I wish!)

Oh I am so sorry that you all are feeling so bad about the exam! It will be okay. Try to relax and stay positive....read how MANY people here thought that they failed but passed.

I just ran into an old classmate who was CERTAIN he had failed....turned out he passed.

Hang in there, let me know when you find out!

I took the nclex on july 9, and I was 99% sure that I failed. I was "beating" myself up over being such a failure. Imagine my surprise when I found out I passed! I hear that most people walk away feeling as though they failed. Just wait until you actually see your results before you "beat" on yourself...you might just be surprised!
