I know I failed!

[emnicams]

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???

I just love reading posts like this. It gives me hope. I will take mine on Wednesday and even though I'm not nervous YET. I kind of feel like I'm not ready, but I'm not going to reschedule for a later date. I am so ready to just do this, and no matter how long I wait I'm always going to have this feeling of not being ready. I decided that I'm going to stop studying Monday night. On Tuesday I'm going to get my kids off to school and come back and eat breakfast, then go to the gym for about an hour and a half, come take a shower and probably go see I Am Legend with Will Smith, and maybe do some window shopping. I'm going to get my things together the night before, and try to get a decent nights sleep and go test on Wed. On Thurday I'll do a repeat of Tues activities, and hopefully find out my results on Friday. CONGRATS on passing the test you guys. I hope to be joining you soon.

One other thing, I was also worried because everyone said if you get a lot of priority questions and delegation questions, that is good! I did not get ONE delegation question asked. Not one! I worried over that. I did, however have priority questions.

how were the select all that apply, were they really hard or could you figure them out ?

I think ALL SATA questions are hard.

Congrats........must feel good to pass after all that unnecessary self-torture. LOL

Seriously, it's a big relief and you never have to go there again. Good luck in all that you do!

Hi Everyone! I'm new to this site and so happy to have found it! I just took my NCLEX this morning and am completely freaking out. I feel nauseated and hungry at the same and can not relax but yet can't do anything productive either! I need you guys right now!!! I totally feel like I failed it. It cut off at 75 questions and I had maybe 5 prioritizing questions and the rest were med-surg and psych. I keep thinking "why did I not get more prioritzing questions.... everyone that I know who has passed has told me about how many of those and delegation questions they had.... me not so much..." I had some on Addisons, Cushings, Nueroleptic Malignant Syndrome... some OB ones and I took blind guesses on a lot of them.... I made the mistake of coming and opening up my review books and I've noticed that I maybe got right but many wrong... I dont know what to do. I'm so afraid that I failed and won't find out until mon or Tues. What did you do to get through the next 48 hours???? Thanks

Ok now take a deep breath and relax!!!!! I was so sure I failed the NCLEX-RN after I took it that I stood outside the facility and cried until My husband was there to pick me up. Mine shut off early too, and I can't even tell you what questions I had, but I remember very few math questions. I was sure I would never make it, but then the results came ( 4 agonizing weeks later ) , and what do you know?? I passed!! Yippee!!! Now hindsight is kinda funny...

[emnicams]

well my test proves that you can have very little prioritizing and delegation and STILL PASS!! i had so many questions on the thyroid gland that i was freaking out: "where are the delegation questions???" i hope that gives some people hope!!!

it goes to show, seriously, don't listen to what people say about the test, as far as... well, if you got this you failed.. if you didn't get this, you failed.. that will only make you more sick about it!

[Dakota28]

I really hope that I made it... I just don't understand why I got the questions I did!!!! I had some about using canes and walkers and as easy as it may sound I had a really hard time answering the question!!!! and I'm sure that I got them wrong! I'm just completley freaked out by this whole thing.... thanks for your repiles!!! I'll keep you posted!

I had the cane question also and couldn't get it right. I was stressed out in there. I thought I was going to soil myself because I was so nervous. I had to take a break to relieve my anxiety and believe you me, I filled that toilet up (diarrhea r/t stress of inability to process information as evidenced by frequent loose stools) INTERVENTION: Pass the client already!

Lilmoma,

That is so funny! I felt the same way! I probably should have taken a break, saved it for home!!... I felt like my heart was going to come out of my mouth and splatter on the screen. It's the most horrible thing I've ever put myself through and I kept having to think "What did I do to deserve this??" and where are the priority questions????
