I passed NCLEX with 85 questions!!

Published

Hello everyone,

I am extremely happy today. I received my NCLEX-PN CANDIDATE REPORT. And I have passed the National Council Licensure Examination for Practical Nurses. YEAH! YEAH! I live in California and tested April 2, the computer shut off at 85 and I was told by this site that this didn't necessarily mean I passed. Well, I did and both of my friends also passed at 85. You would think the computer would keep offering questions up to the maximum number had you not passed at 85. Doesn't matter anyway, what matters is I am a LVN and going to be able to practice what I love and enjoy.

Hello All!

This is my very first post and I too just passed the NCLEX (LVN). I was a CNA forever and after graduation in January, I had to work to catch up on all the deliquent bills that had accumulated while in school.:lol2: I had friends who were really disiplined and studied as if it was their job. I could only study at night, then at work as I worked registry and requested as many sitter assignments as possible so I could study. On the day of the test, I was calm, but very surprised that the first eleven questions, I didn't have a clue as to what the answer was, so I guessed. Then, the twelfth question was so easy, I had to read it twice just to make sure I read it correctly:lol2:. I had tons of nursing process and meds, but only one math question and a couple of fill in. It ended at 85. I remember thinking afterwards that the secret to passing is not only based on the knowledge aquired from school and study, but I had a 'strong feeling' that the powers that be were also looking to see if we understood the 'concept' of nursing. That in and of itself gave me a sense of inner peace. However, due to some 20 year old legal issues that I'd forgotten about, it took over a month longer than it should've to get the actual license. But God is Good and I have a good job now and that pile of bills is finally beginning to disappear!

I just took my NCLEX-PN today and I am soooo nervous. I graduated 2nd in my class and I still felt as though I knew nothing. It was a horrible feeling. I studied my NCLEX-PN Meds Pub book, NCLEX-PN Davis, and my school had us take the HURST review before graduation back in October. I felt like I could not be prepared for all the questions I received. I had a lot of priority based questions that were very hard/select all that apply. My test cut off at 85...two of my other classmates took the test last week and both got 85's and passed. I am praying I do! I cannot imagine having to wait 90 days to retake this exam! Please pray for me and I will pray for y'all. :(:bluecry1::banghead::sniff::o
