Thank you everyone! :bugeyes:

My screen shut off at 75 questions. I felt like I was going to vomit around question 35. I took a prompted break at question 40 and cried in the bathroom. I really have no clue how I did................................no clue. It's in God's hands now. :plsebeg:I feel like I guessed on about 90% of the test..mcg drips are my WEAKNESS. I got FIVE mcg drips questions.....I didn't feel like the questions were getting harder like they do when you're getting them right.... so who knows......who knows. :barf01::barf02:

I'm sure you did so much better than you think you did. How long will it take to get your results? I'm keeping you in my thoughts until we hear! I know you did wonderfully...

Your feelings are right on with all others' I have heard about taking the NCLEX.

I am praying for you, and hope to hear good news in 48 hours?????

Thank you guys for the good feelings. I sure need them! Apparently I can go to the BNE website and my name should pull up as "active" if I've been issued a license within 24 hours of taking NCLEX. On the BNE website though it says that it could take up to 10 days to find out there. The other way is to wait 2 business days and call a number or go online both for a $10 fee, which will be Monday (My 1st day of my Internship). Between my husband and I we are checking the BNE site every 5 minutes! LOL. They'll probably call me and demand me to stop clogging the site hahaha. Thanks again everyone for your support. I will definitely let y'all know the results pass or fail.

My questions were all over the place- a few meds, one med I had NO CLUE about, some "who would you see first" type questions, select all that apply (I hate those questions), I had about 5 psych questions between psych meds and psych patients. I studied L&D for forever because that was my weakness and got NO questions on L&D. 2 newborn Qs, delegation. I'm probably saying too much LOL.

Just be careful what you say.....I guess it's only exact questions you can't say?

lol....That would be funny if the BNE did call, "Ms. Allison, please refrain from our site for at least 1 minute before checking again." :chuckle

Allison, I am sure you are going to be 'active' soon. :up:

This week I am doing a 3 day review course presented by that company that makes the nursing cartoon books. We are doing questions that I have never seen before. They are sooooooo hard.:innerconf

By the way, I have classmates who alreay passed the test, some with 75 and 88.

ugh. After reading through the NCLEX forums on here, I do not feel confident that I passed. They say that when you're given more math problems (which I was!) that it's a bad thing.....uuuuuuuuuuuggggh. They're saying that math questions are lower level questions ... I don't think drips are lower level but maybe I'm just that low...uuuuuuuggghh I'm so sick....I haven't slept yet....it's 0300. I truly feel now like I didn't pass.....:o

Every test is different...don't give up hope until you know for sure the true outcome.

I hope you are getting some sleep right now! :)

Allison, you did the best you could. :)

Those 'lower level' questions could be pretest items.

Allison - the Hesi, they say, is an excellent predictor of NCLEX outcome. I have no doubt but what you rocked it. Only a few hours more and you'll see Allison, ACTIVE RN :)

Chin up!
