I wholeheartedly prepared for NCLEX RN for the 5th time! YUP 5 TIMES! Did Kaplan & Hurst and LaCharity PDA 100%. Did well with Kaplan & Hurst. Had confidence and didn't go asystole when I clicked Next on Q#75...Took it today Saturday 4/18/15.....did all 265 questions.....I'm sure I failed. Cant do any PVT guess they score the exam 2x now, and not risking $200. My Q's were all over the place. No med calcs, lots of SATA, priority, who do you see 1st, a few ordered response, about 4 exhibit questions, at least 6 ekg strips, but then again a lot of like knowledge questions or so it seemed....1 MEDICATION I GOT ASKED 4x about (OMG) and I didnt know what it was...Holy Moses.....I am at a complete loss. It's weird nothing seemed really hard though. Like the topics/terms/questions I was like I know about this!, etc.
I feel God does not want me to be a RN and I am sure there is good reason.
Been through this more than once.. I know that to pass, Q#265 has to be above the passing line, regardless right or wrong. ugh, major let down. All I know is that Q#263,262,261 and maybe 262 were bolded (like MOST, FIRST, PRIORITY and the last 2 [264, 265] were not. Not sure if that makes a difference. End rant!
I am just about homeless (house being foreclosed on), out of money, knee-high in debt, father dying, parents divorcing, jobless, just at a huge loss. Sad part is I'm 25.

First of all, it is a myth that you have to get the final question correct or that it needs to be above the passing line. Do you really thing that out of 265, the results would be based on one question? Your last question is not an indicator!! The amount of sata or anything else is not an indicator either. The fact your got all 265 isn't either, I got 265 and passed first time.
It probably seemed not hard because you did it so many times, that's not an indicator either!
So calm down and do something relaxing and fun while waiting for results. if your state participates in quick results, then you will know on Monday!
If this doesn't go well, I would suggest a remedial course before try number 6! There is obviously something that you are missing, and studying and retaking this many times is not enough. Hopefully you passed and you can put it behind you! But if not, get help in the form of a class or a tutor to assure success next time.
