Hey Everyone, I took the nclex rn yesterday at 8am and honestly i've never felt this stressed and disheartened in my life. It was tough because I can honestly say only about 4 questions were familiar enough that i can say i answered them somewhat correctly.
I had 75 questions and I had a lot of select all that apply and I know a lot of people say that SATA questions are higher level but some questions felt like they were knowledge questions such as risk factors for certain cancers (which I still didn't know) or falls (which were still tough for me) and those are supposed to be below the line. I feel so so terrible. I've been crying a lot and don't know what to do with myself, I can't sleep, can't eat, just generally feeling horrible. I did the pearson vue trick and got the good pop up but a lot of people say that doesn't work and it's unreliable before 24hrs so i guess i'll check again.
I feel so bad. I guess I wanted to post to get some encouraging words. I've scoured this forum throughout my nursing school experience and it's been helpful and encouraging to read other's experiences. I'm hoping really hard that i did well. This has been such a stressful journey I really don't want it to end in failure.
Any advice and kind words are welcome. I'm feeling so fragile right now. It sucks and it's such a foreign feeling to such an extent. I don't know what to do with myself. My mother said she had to wait months for her results and i wish I could be more patient and grateful that my wait is less but I still wish I knew right now. I know in hindsight this is not worst than others have experienced but i can't help being miserable right now. I tried and i'm just digging myself into a worst and worst experience.
CONGRATSSSS!!!!!! I hope I end up like you! Took my test this morning and ended at 75. Didn't know what was going on during the test AT ALL. literally played a guessing game. everything i learned wasnt on there. my whole test was maternity and peds, my weakest points. I only had 10 select alls 1 exhibit and 0 drag/drop. sooooo scared
I completely get it. That test was tough. I wish you luck. Let me know how it goes.
What the heck, I'll share my own bit of neurosis with you two, LOL: I paid for Quick Results after my own exam, exactly 48 hours from my completion time (I checked at 47.5 hours, nothing....48: done).
I had my hubby on the phone while I went through the process on the computer, and when I saw the letters PASS on the screen, I told him....he congratulated me....and I actually said "but what if it's wrong? What if it's a computer glitch, and I really failed....". Seriously. He talked me down (yet AGAIN) and wondered at what point my senses would return, LOL....
So yes, I was one of those people staring at the official results of PASS and questioning whether it was right.
I took the license that arrived in the mail anyway

LOL... ummm....well.... I guess I am not alone in this LOL. I didn't believe I passed, until I saw my license number on the web site... but... I still won't believe it until I hold the paper in my hands

I believed it 99% with the QR, but 100% when I saw my license number on the BoN :)
