Failed the NCLEX

Published

I took the NCLEX today and I just know I failed it. I understand that's how everyone feels when they leave but I looked up some answers on questions that probably should have been easy and got them wrong. Also, using the ABC stragedy just wasn't working for me. I got 75 questions, 3-4 sata's, no med calculations, several drugs with some I had never heard of, some disease processes, some psych questions, some prioritization, teaching and delagation and some infection control. Next time when I study will concentrate mostly on prioritization. I'm more upset that I have a job already but most of all I let down my family. :crying2:

I used Saunders to study (mostly the CD), Some of the Delmar's, and the free online NCLEX 3500. I thought Saunders was too easy and the questions were nothing like NCLEX.

Can anyone reccommend good prioritization/delagation book?

Thanks!

Wow, I just noticed all of my typos throughout these posts. Sorry I haven't slept in days.

BTW, several people in my class that have had 76 questions have passed. Also, everyone that has had 265 questions have all passed as well as everyone with "odd" numbers has passed! 110, 86, 240, etc.

My school just sent my certificate of graduation to the state. I am hoping for a quick turn around. I have been studying like crazy since graduation in December. I have sooo many NCLEX questions pent up inside of me, I feel like I am going to explode:flmngmd:! I hope to take mine in February. Do me a favor, please send some NO OB, 75 and out, good NCLEX vibes my way.
