I know I failed!

Published

I took the NCLEX-RN yesterday. I just know I failed. I had a feeling of doom from the beginning that I was not doing well. I had only 5 or 6 of those "higher level" prioritizing type questions. The rest were med-surg type questions and many, many teaching questions ("the nurse recognizes correct teaching when..."). I had a lot of select-all-that-apply and FOUR med calc (I never heard of anyone having that many...sigh...) My test cut off at 75. I did so horribly that it decided it was done with me right then and there! I know I missed question 75, too. I needed more questions!!!!

My state does quick results, has anyone ever gotten their quick results on a Saturday? I know it says 2 business days but... I am dying here! I was so certain I would pass (I did Hurst review and everything) that I rented an apartment I can't afford.. I am sure I won't keep my job as a GN since I am supposed to come out of orientation Feb. 18th as it is.. what am I gonna do???

Please hang in there.

It is all consuming for sure.

Step back take a deep breath then deal with what you need to later on.

Be positive for sure ok? *hugs*

Emnicans i know exactly how you feel because i have felt the exact same way awaiting all my test results, i was absolutely convinced i had failed all of them. I think we underestimate ourselves sometimes, try not to stress so much hang in there im sure you did well. Good Luck!!!!

Thank you so much, I don't know how I would have made it through those agonizing 48 hours without everyone on this forum. I think I sifted through 100 pages of threads reading everyone's experiences!

I am GLAD that it is not true that lots of med calc means you fail. That worried me more than anything. (I know I even missed one of those med calcs...!)
