I took the NCLEX this morning at 9AM and I am more than just nervous right now. I prepared as much as I possibly could... practice questions from Saunders, pharmacology reviews, and Kaplan tests. Several of my friends have taken it already and passed with 75 questions. So, I'm taking the test... sitting at around #60 and thinking "Hey, this isn't that bad". I figured just 15 more and this computer will shut off and I can go home!!! Ummm no. I hit #76 and it all went downhill from there. I probably had at least 10 alternate (SELECT ALL THAT APPLY)questions, a lot of medication questions, and also several orthopedic topics having to do with traction and internal fixation. What!!?!! I hit #125 and I was not a happy camper. I did stay focused and kept hoping and hoping that the thing would just shut off. It finally shut off at like 185 questions and I just wanted to cry... uggh. The test administrator said that the number of questions doesn't matter, but it seems like that everyone who does well and seems confident about passing gets 75! I was not expecting this many questions and I'm soo nervous about getting my results.
Anyway, I really needed to vent! Any comments to boost my confidence would be great!
