I am not one to post, but I hope by doing so I can help someone who is going through a difficult time waiting to get their NCLEX results. I took my exam on a Friday morning, I was so nervous I was sure that everyone around me could hear my heart pounding!! Took a deep breath and started. Many of my friends passed at 75 questions so once I got to 76 I started to panic! I spent the whole 6 hours in there and got all 265 questions! I definitely took my time to make sure I didn't miss anything... Take breaks you need them. I couldn't get to my car fast enough to cry! There was not a doubt in my mind that I failed. I had so many SATA and kept getting questions on certain topics that I knew I must be struggling in that area. When I got home that night I kept going over certain questions that I realized I got wrong and was beginning to feel incompetent and defeated. I did not sleep the first night and couldn't eat I was so worried. All my hard work meant nothing is how I felt. I prayed and prayed. Well, I checked Sunday morning and I PASSED!!!! Do not let the number 265 mean anything to you other than, wow you were able to stay in the game by answering that many questions!!! You can do it!!

Congratulations! Now onwards to the nursing world where NCLEX is just a joke test far from reality of nursing.
