i just finished the exam a few hours ago, it took me FIVE hours to answer all 265 questions, and as soon as the computer shut down I felt like crying and breaking down. I don't know if it was from the fact that I didn't sleep much last night or because I felt so dumb not knowing the answers to some of the questions. I got a lot of pharma questions, some of which I haven't heard or read about, and a lot of diabetes and prioritization questions. I didn't get a lot of math, had 1 SATA and 1 "arrange in chronological order". right now i just feel like i don't know what hit me. i guess the waiting is the hardest part. :bluecry1:

hey i know im bein paranoid but i got this question on my nclex that was liek what coping strategy should u use with a terminally ill cancer patient, and i picked something like accepting that death is inevitable because iw as thinking that the last stage of grief and coping is acceptance. right idk its over with now but idk i was just wondering i know it sounds harsh but u should get them to acceptance?

Well Acceptance is the last stage of DABDA. I would have answered the same thing. Just hang in there!

Kubler-Ross Model: Denial Aggression Bargaining Depression Acceptance

You probably know about this already, but Ill post it anyway. Random fact throwing:

Denial:
- Example - "I feel fine."; "This can't be happening, not to me!"

[*]Anger:

Example - "Why me? It's not fair!" "NO! NO! How can this happen!"

[*]Bargaining:

Example - "Just let me live to see my children graduate."; "I'll do anything, can't you stretch it out? A few more years."

[*]Depression:

Example - "I'm so sad, why bother with anything?"; "I'm going to die . . . What's the point?"

[*]Acceptance:

Example - "It's going to be OK."; "I can't fight it, I may as well prepare for it."

Hey allhrt2rn,:)

I know it's hard to wait but maybe go have lunch or go shopping and by the time you do this, hopefully your results will be posted. It's so normal to feel like you feel we all do. I wish you the Best as you await your results!:redpinkhe
