I feel so "Blah"!

Tiny1Nisolet · Jun 26, 2006

I just got back from taking the nclex pn and I feel so absolutely blah. The computer shut down at 85. I had lots of teaching about medications (sure that is not a good sign:sniff: ) no calculations, some priority and delegation, lots of infection control some renal questions and about 5 select all that apply. All in all I would say it was a good mix of questions. The whole time I kept telling myself that if I only get 85 questions that would be a good sign, now I am not so sure. I am sooooo afraid that I failed. These next two days are going to be agonizing. I had to drive an hour each way. On my way home I started crying, I just am not sure how I did. I felt like I was in a daze and in all honesty I do not remember specific questions that I could go over to see if I got them right.I did not think I would feel this uneasy, I am sick to my stomach:barf02: . Anyways thanks for listening.

Keep your chin up! I am sure the waiting must be excruciating. I take my test Wednesday. You can tell me the same advice then and can sign your post RN!

Oh by the way, what is the shortest amount of time that anyone had to wait to find out if they passes? "Just curious"!

Oh I felt the very same way last Thursday after taking the NCLEX!!! The following 48 hours were terrible as well!!! All I could think about was how I would tell ev1 that I had Failed the test and where I would possibly scrape up another $200.00!!! BUT on SAturday I found out that I PASSED IT!!! I too had 85 questions with sooo many DRUGS and prioritization questions. I felt as if I was simply guessing on some of the questions.

BUT you will see that you too will PASS and ~~~~~~~

BLOSSOM INTO A NURSE!!! :flowersfo

Just like you said, how do you tell everyone you did not pass? I sure hope I don't have to do that. But I guess if I do, I will survive and life goes on. I have been checking pearson vue since I got home and of course the BON. "Nothing yet", I did not really think there would be, but I still keep checking :lol2: .

I did the same thing, BUT quick results will not be there until 48 hours from the time the test was actually scheduled with Pearson...and I mean not a SECOND before!!! The waiting is sooooooooo horrible...I know!!!

nd_mom,

Congrats on surviving the NCLEX. Now for the really hard part. It's an agonizing wait. (Can you believe that I work with nurses who told me about waiting on results for weeks or months back in the good old days? I'd have stroked out.)

I've seen on your posts that you've put a lot of thought and time (two hours on the road!) into the NCLEX and I know that passing was something very important to you. I have a really good feeling that you made it.

Not for you (since I'm betting that you passed), but for other people who might wonder what to say if they fail: "I'm gonna have to give it one more try." That way, people get the message that you didn't pass, but they also can see that you're not down and out and that you're going to get right back in there and work on passing.

Good job - although the wait may be difficult, the hardest part (the TEST!) is over. Sounds like you did well. Just like everyone else says, try not to think about it. It's really hard to do, but take time out for yourself because you deserve it! I would suggest watching a movie, shopping, and generally spending quality time with friends and family in the next 48 hours or until you find out your results. :balloons: Congratulations in advance!
