Did I fail the NCLEX?

Published

Hey guys,

I just took the NCLEX Rn today. I feel like I failed. I couldn't sleep and have a cold. I graduated on Sept. 11, 2018. I used NCLEX Mastery RN, Uworld, and Saunders. Did about 100 questions a day. I got so caught up in content and lab values that I forgot to review med math for critical care. I'm not naturally good at math so if I don't do it consistently then I forget it. I got two questions with critical care math and I couldn't even answer them. Then I think I made a mistake with a mental health question that I obviously knew the right answer to. My test was at 8am. I wanted to schedule later but there were no openings and I didn't want to keep putting it off. Now I wish I had. I don't have much money to invest in anymore tools. I felt like school and all the prep work did not help. I felt so lost and upset. It shut off in 75. I can't access results cause all my stuff is on hold. I'm so anxious. I got select all that apply and all that and I know that I got some easy ones wrong that I should have had right. I honestly don't know how to feel besides like I failed. Any suggestions? Ideas? Can't believe I screwed up the math.

Girl. Just breathe. Finishing the NCLEX is a great achievement; don't let the post-exam anxiety get to you. There will always be those kinds of feelings after such a monumental moment.

Have you tried the Pearson Vue trick?

I took the nclex pn on the 19th also. It shut off at 85 questions and took me about an hour and a half to complete. I was a nervous wreck for the following 48 hours. I tried the good pop up trick but didn't remember my school code and couldn't complete it.

I walked out of the testing center so anxious and scared that I failed. In fact, I was certain that I did fail. I got the unofficial results this morning. I cried when I saw the word "pass".

Relax and have faith in yourself. I'm sure you did fine. You completed the program and made it to the nclex. Like the poster said above, that's an incredible achievement.
