FAILED NCLEX ?

I just took my nclex exam yesterday, I am positive I failed! I can't stop crying and feel like my world has just ended. I have been a lpn for 14 years, I was on the deans list through the R.N. program, I took kaplan, answered and reviewed over 3000 questions between kaplan and saunders and nothing prepared me for what I just went through. I had like 10 select all that apply questions and many, many pharmacological questions on some meds I have never even heard of before. My anxiety got the better of me, a person can only take so much before they crack and my computer turned off at 75 questions. I know in my heart I failed. I feel the test was unfair and I really don't believe 75 questions can determine if you are a good nurse or not. especially the medication questions. As a nurse on the floor when I don't know a med I look it up before giving it and become familiar with it - thats patient safety. With so many medications, over 5,ooo to be specific, out there it is impossible for a nurse to remember them all. Some of the other questions I encountered were questions for specialty areas, like ICU - were a new grad would not be working there. I really feel the board of nursing needs to figure out a better way to determine if someone is competent. Personally I feel instead of a exam, it should be an apprenticeship or a fair exam. Any tips out there? Has any one taken NSCBN study courses. ANY TIPS ON HOW TO REGROUP AND REMEBER THINGS FOR 90 DAYS DOWN THE ROAD.

Wait until you get your results, many feel like that and even went as far as looking/buying new study material and then found out they had passed

Hang in there and good luck

:hngon: ]Hang in there. Please wait for the official results. Most feel like they did not pass when they leave the test site. The exam is so hard to predict. Good luck. Do something in the meantime to distract yourself while you wait for the results. :up:

You can't be for sure you failed. I took my test 2 days ago, and thought I had failed also, but I didn't. Wait until you get your results, and then you can take it from there.

When you find out let us know. Good luck.

Everyone feels as if they failed. Until you get your results, give yourself the benefit of the doubt. Congratulations on taking the test and good luck.

Just try and relax until you get your results. You may think you failed when you actually passed. Almost everyone i know says they walk out afterwards feeling as though they failed and then they end up passing! Don't be so hard on yourself for not knowing the meds, no one knows all the meds we have to give and thats understandable. Just do some things to stay busy and keep your mind off the test until you get the results. Good luck, and hopefully you are wrong and you did wonderful!!

just pray to God. You never know wht good will happen. good luck.

Yes, please try to relax and so somewhere!! If you read my previous posts I was absolutely POSITIVE I had failed!!! I looked up tons of my questions that I could remember and new I missed many, easy ones I thought. Leave the computer and go do something. BTW, I passed with 75.
