Does everyone feel like they bomb nclex after taking it?

[ALORN]

I felt like throwing up after taking nclex. I didn't feel like I knew any of the questions but yet I passed.

i'm not bright, by any means. after shutting off at #75, i felt like i passed. usually, this level of confidence means FAILED. as this isn't the first time i felt great about an exam. think i might had been "over-prepared" with 4 months of studying. i made a thread about it, if you're interested in reading.

When the screen went black at 75, I knew I had passed. No doubt and my instinct was right.

I too wanted to throw up after the test. I about had a heart attack when the computer shut off. Thought it could go either way but in the following 48 hours I had convinced myself I had failed. Turns out I was wrong. I did indeed pass. Phew!

Yes it's normal I drove home two hours away with my body being numb and I got home and cried for the next 48 hours.

I felt the same way but was very excited yet a little nervous that my test shut off at 75 questions! I called my husband and brother immediately after I tested and they said "oh you passed that test". I check the BON the very next day and saw my PN and RN license listed :)

I agree!! I just found out I passed today and for the last 2 days my stomach has been in knots!!!

Just before 24 hours after starting my NCLEX, I saw on the Florida BoN that I passed!

I walked out freaking out after my test closed after question 149.

Shockingly I walked out feeling really good which scared me! Passed first time with 75q and maybe I just got lucky and got the questions I knew, but glad its over for good!

I felt the NCLEX was one of the easier tests I am taken during my nursing experience. I the majority of the content the test was spitting out. Luck, I guess.
