I took nclex this morning

Published

I visit this forum often but never post. I thought I'd share my experience with boards. It was harder than I expected. Like everyone else has been saying, there were a lot of delegation/priority type questions. I thought they would be a little more cut and dry but I had problems with a few of them. I had 3 ob questions, a couple diabetes questions, 3 questions about glaucoma, and no drug calculations. There were also a few commuunication type questions but the options weren't like the standard answers in school. It cut off at 75 questions and I almost burst into tears right there because I felt as if I was doing terrible. I guess I'll find out Friday.

pcat,

I know exactly how you feel. I just took my boards on Tuesday and was in your exact situation. I got 75 questions and didn't feel that I did that well, but I passed. My instructor for the Kaplan review course said that she never heard of anyone failing with 75 questions. That still didn't reassure me until I got my results, but at least it's something to keep in mind. Just try and stay relaxed because when you think about it, there's nothing you can do about while you're waiting for the results. Go out and do something you enjoy to try and keep you're mind off of it. (Even though that's almost impossible to do). Let me know how you did.
