I think I failed, and I'm panicking...

Hi everyone. I just had my NCLEX yesterday, and I don't think I passed. I'm overwhelmed. I did everything...KAPLAN, Sanders, Pearson, you name it...I'm so sad that I can barely move today. I just can't wait to do what I want to do...to take care of patients at a Cancer Center-(my mom being a patient a while ago), and I can't bare the possibility that I failed...I'm so depressed and sad...

Thank you for this site, guys...

I took my NCLEX yesterday too!! I am also really nervous and feel like I didnt do very well. I just keep thinking it is a normal feeling. I just could not imagine not passing....Tonight will pass so slow.

I got 75 questions....

Hey,

I so can relate to how you feel, I took boards on Sept 3 and passed. I remember leaving the testing center and thinking "what have I done". I thought I had failed. I knew that I had studied alot and thought that I had prepared for this. But I just tried to keep myself busy for a few days until I found out the results. Take some time for yourself and do some things that you had to give up while in nursing school. And BREATHE!!! I learned that the hard way.

Good luck and keep us posted with your results.

Everyone (almost) feels like they failed when they take the NCLEX. How long do you have to wait for your results? We were lucky enough to only have to wait a day. But all these people are right, go do something clear your mind and just wait for your results. You probably did better than you think! Let us know!

Have you tried the Pearson Vue trick? It worked for the people in our program and gave several of us peace of mind until our results arrive, while it gave others the opportunity to prepare for the inevitable. You can find information about how to do it on allnurses. Good luck to you! :)

Just passed Sept. 24th! The trick absolutely made the two days until results livable. :)

With something like 75 or 85 questions you either did REALLY well or REALLY poorly...

I sat for 5 1/2 hours and took all 265 questions...talk about not knowing.. but I passed and so will you(s)

Oh I know another trick. Our nursing board has an online site to check license info. I went on there the next day and I had a number so I knew that I had passed. If your state has an online site you can try that!

You most likely passed...what was your last question? if your last question was a knowledge question then you probably failed. If its a higher level question you most likely passed. (well that is what I was told by my kaplan teacher. She predicted that I passed from my last 2 questions). I bet you did fine though just keep yourself busy!!!

The key to success is failure. If you pass, congratulations. If you fail, relax, compose yourself and study again. NCLEX is not easy. For now, breath in, breath out, breath in, breath out. Ok?
