i failed my nclex

Hi loreign: Sorry to hear that. When did you take your test? How long did you have to wait to find out your result? How many test questions you answered until it stopped? Mine stopped at 75 question but I have a mixed feeling whether I pass or not. I'm waiting for mine since the 16th and still no show.

i took mine last jan30 and i just received it friday. and i stopped at 157:crying2:

i didnt expect this to happen but i have a feeling coz my nclex was really difficult.

don't worry that much, i think you did fine.all you have to do is relax and wait for your result.best luck to you.

I believe she uses the latest edition of Saunders. I believe 4th edition is the latest.

i too just received my results and i also failed. i was in complete shock and utter disappointment. my exam shut off at 81 questions. i called the pearson vue testing center and they said i had to call Board of Nursing and ask if they had my records and proof of graduation in order for them to send me a new ATT number (authorizatin to test) and register for the nclex rn again. so its basically the same procedure you did for the first time you applied. hope it works out. im rooting for ya as i am in the same boat.

you can apply now and make an appointment i believe but you won't be able to actually sit for the exam until 45days has passed. So as long as you schedule the text at least 45 days from your previous exam date. best of luck!

i know how u feel. but we must go on. so are u planning to send your application anytime soon? what state you from? thanks for the information.

i have to call board of nursing first and make sure they have my graduation records which they should since i just graduated in jan '09. I plan on callin them tomorrow, Monday morning. then i think i have to register for the nclex all over again through pearson vue and pay that gosh darn $200 fee again. (sux since i am unemployed!!) then after i register i wait for my new ATT # to come and then i can make the appointment for the exam. I'm gonna do everything as soon as possible or as soon as they allow me to do so. so if the board of nusing gives me the OK to proceed i will register for the nclex tomorrow!!!! i'm from NEW YORK.
