Just took my RN exam yesterday, and... feel so bad. Cannot help it to think I failed it... This is my second time to take it. The last time I took it was an year and half ago, I got more than 100 questions, and I failed.
This time, I really spent time preparing for the exam, since I have been out of nursing field for so many years, and it's much harder than I expected and the last time I took it. My brain was blank when I finished the exam. Couldn't remember what kind of questions I had, just memorized that I got a lot of prioritization questions, about 6 to 8. I even got one multiple choice question, when it appeared on my screen, I was so shocked and freaked out.
The computer shut down after I finished 75 questions. I almost cried it out at that time. Cuz I didn't think I do well for all those 75 questions. After I backed home, I kept thinking I failed... although my friends kept telling me that having 75 questions is a good sign. I read some msgs posted online and found there are still a lot of people failed with 75 questions... sighs... Don't know what to do next...
People told me I can go onto CA BON's web site to check if my name is on their licensing database. I did go check it... but since I took it on Friday morning, and it's weekend now, I guess I have to wait couple days... sighs...
Hi everyone! I just took my boards today, and *I* got 75 questions too. I just threw up again, having said that, just now. JK!! I have heard ALL of the people tell me how rare it is to have gotten 75 and fail, but that it can happen. Of COURSE, I know I am one of those. LOL Does everyone have the ability to go to their state's licensing division website and find out their results in 24-48 hours? I got hired in our local NICU right after graduation, having been V E R Y lucky (and with some crit-care EMS exp. which helped), and I just hope that if I didn't pass they'll let me keep the job until I do pass...
I know how you feel. I too took my exam today and shut off at 75. I too heard the majority of people pass with 75, but of course they say it has nothing to do with your number of questions. I am just praying I passed . Let us know how you did and so will I.
Judy....its 3:00 am. I just got your email. Was too tired to even read anything tonight, but wanted to post what my test was like. I got stuck in traffic too! Truck overturned on the highway! Can you imagine? I felt like it was an omen to GO HOME!!! *L* I think you took the RN exam. I took the PN exam today, so I had a min of 85 q's when mine shut off. I start the RN bridge this year *august* so I am psyched...but in a year from now, I will be doing this again! *vomits* *L*
I know we both passed. I just believe it in my heart.
I thought your were taking the NCLEX RN, that explains why your min. was 85 questions. I am sure you passed and I will pray we both pass. Good luck next year when you take your RN exam. You will know what to expect......Keep me posted....How long do you have to wait for results? In Michigan we have quick results and can check within 48 hrs.
I just got home....Today was NCLEX day. I was so anxious! My test stopped at 75 however I think I failed because my questions were not that hard. I just was not sure of the answers. I got a lot of check all that apply. The topics were:confused: easy but I was not sure If one or two items applied!!! I had a million med questions!!!!!!!! WELL It sure felt like I did. Meds that I NEVER Studied in school!!!!!I started with a math Question that I am sure I got wrong!!!!
I guess I will just wait now.....
Good luck to all!
Hi spirit11,
I took NCLEX ystrday and I think i have the same feeling as yours. Let me know whatever the results... Good luck to both of us, and all those awaiting results!!!
I took the NCLEX RN today, shut off at 75. I have never been so miserable. I had an anxiety attack during, had to go out in waiting room and regroup, went in and finished. i had the hardest calc question, I think thats when I got rattled. Seemed like lots of priority,a couple of all that apply. Of course I came home and looked up what I remembered, some right and some were wrong. Waiting is torture. I cant tell if I feel bad about it because my anxiety level was so high, or I didn't do that well. I did extremely well on ATI and Kaplan, go figure. The questions seemed pretty difficult, and you really had to think to extract the right answer. Thank goodness I have this forum to obsess about it:bugeyes:
it's true waiting for the results is giving me more anxiety....i wish i can have my results right now...'coz it's ruining my everday life..i can't eat or sleep well...it's stressing me out already..well good luck to us guys!!! hope we all pass!!!!!!!
Good luck to you Bluegoldfish. Thanks for the reply. You are so lucky to find out quickly. I have never felt so mentally unstable in my life!!! It is going to be a long weekend.
This is my second time to take it. The last time I took it was an year and half ago, I got more than 100 questions, and I failed.
