I took My NCLEX Today

Hi everyone! I need all of your prayers and positive vibes to come my way today please! I took my NCLEX this morning and boy was it hard!

I had so many PEDs ques. I was like why am I getting so many peds? I figured I must be getting them wrong. I also had OB and management of care questions. No calculations at all. It was weird because I'm waiting for all of these adult med-surg questions which never came. I tried not to freak out, but at one point I was near tears because I just had a feeling that I was doing horribly. I expected to get more than 75 to help prove myself "worthy" of my license, but it shut of at 75. I was so depressed when that happened. I didn't feel great at all. I was the first person to leave even though about 7 people started before me and I was only there about an hour. I came home and just stayed under my covers until I fell asleep. I took the LPN exam last August and it was a totally different experience. Two of my friends took theirs this afternoon. One got 75 the other got 89 q. Once I spoke with my classmate, she made me feel better and reinstated the confidence in myself that I needed. I'm trying to relax while I wait for the results, but you know how that is! I tried not to tell too many people because the pressure is too much. But I'll tell the world that I passed!

Congrats! I am sure you passed. I mean, I have not heard of anyone having their test turn off at 75 questions and fail. Mine shut off at 75 questions and I felt the same way you did. I am sure you did great! Good luck as an RN.

Congratulations, I rtemember that when I had finished my NCLEX I came out of the exam not knowing which way was up and which way was down (i went through over 200 questions)!!!! I am sure you will have done ok. Time to relax now and start preparing for a very rewarding career. ? Ever thought about peds? I am 10 years in over here in the UK and still loving it!

Really, 75 is a good sign. VERY FEW people fail at 75. Mine shut off at 75, too, and I was totally freakin' out over it! I look forward to hearing that both of you passed very soon!

Please remember that all of you will be getting 50% right as well as 50% wrong. That is how they score the NCLEX by seeing at what level your skills fall into..........................Good luck and keep us posted..................
