I feel like burning most the LVN review books I bought as they did me no good what-so-ever on the NCLEX. The questions I got came out of left field. Stuff that wasn't taught in school like post mordum care for jewish men and questions about the Buhdist faith. I couldn't believe the questions I got. It felt like I guessed at half the questions. What a terrible feeling I have now. I have went threw the ENTIRE Saunders LNV review book and cd TWICE, that's 6,000 questions, as well as the kaplan review book, "lvn made easy", and the mosby cd. Total review questions and rationales done exceeded 8,000. Yet it didn't help me at all. Yes I read the rationales for ALL the questions/ answers. The NCSBN.ORG review was the only thing that helped me as the questions were similar to the NCLEX.
The VAST majority of question were priority questions. I had learned all the tricks to answer these in the Kaplan book. Only one big problem....the priority questions in kaplan are a complete joke (very easy) compared to the actual NCLEX ones which were brutal.
My computer shut off at 85 and I am positive I got the 85th question wrong because I looked it up when I got home. I hear if the computer stops at 85 and you miss the last question ...you most likely failed if you weren't doing so hot. I wanted to throw up when I left the testing center.
So hear I sit and have to wait 3 weeks to get result in CA. I will start checking the LVN board website next week, but I have a bad feeling my name won't be up there and I will have to take the NCLEX again.
I just took the nclex pn and I think I failed but have no clue. I got 105 or 109 questions. my mind was so blown when I left there that I couldn't remember were I parked the car. Help Help Help. I am really freaking out my friend started hers before me and she was still taking it when I left
Oh and I studied saunders and not once did I think that helped me and I took the hearst review which I think might have helped on that 1 question I had on cushings syndrom

I felt the same exact way when I left. I thought I failed and I went home and cried about it and stressed about it for 3 weeks until i got results in the mail saying I passed. I'm sure you will be fine, my friend who took it with me stopped at 120 and he passed also. Good luck to you, do you have quick results or are you in ca too?
Luckily I am in Louisiana which gives results in up to a month but has been averaging a week. But with the holidays I have no clue how fast there going to be. I am soooo freaked out. Alot of my question had to do with priority and cancer meds and rituals for differant faiths which I guessed alot and that is why I am freaking out

I think most people feel the same way. Honestly....I felt like I was guessing a lot too and I truly thought there was NO way that I passed that test. I had over a dozen meds, most of which I have never seen before in my life and about 10 of those select all that apply! I know how you feel, and you are not alone. Just remember, most people come out of that test thinking....what the HECK was that??? It's a common feeling and it's normal to be nervous and freaked out. But that's why we're all here. To give you support! Just try to relax as much as possible...all the worrying wont change whats already done! It will just stress you out even more.
but I just took my NCLEX PN yesterday and the computer shut off at 85 and I remember at the 75 question which I was 2 hours into it that the screen went blue and I though OMG my heart just sunk don't tell me I failed, before the minium questions and it was just asking if I wanted to take a break!!! It freaked me out.
I am not sure what to think I know what I am doing I got good grades in the nursing program and my ATI said I would have a 99% chance of passing on the first atempt, but I felt okay when I left, but then I looked up some of the answers and I got them wrong and some of the answers are no where in the books, and I have tons of them, ATI with DVDs and all the LPN school books, and I got asked this disease. I just felt like if I had got more questions I can really prove myself and I would feel better. when I got to that 85 question and it really wasn't an easy one I had to think what was the better answer I pushed next and it like just frooze and then shut off I was prepared to take more questions. I am a faith person and I am believing that I have passed and I have been praying...I just hate this waiting game and that test really messes with your head...
