I took the nclex pn today....

Published

Honestly, i feel numb right now...i know im done and the worse is over...but the waiting is torcher! i live in ca so i have to wait 2-3wks by mail...does anyone know if its true about the size of the envelope? small=pass big=fail?? if so, please let me know so i can chuck the big envelope out the window if i see one..haha jk. Neways, i know i did my best and thats all that matters, i cant turn back time. my test was filled with PEDS!!! which is not a bad thing bc i actually like peds, but i didnt know it would be so overwhelming, each questions back to back was, "A 4mo child...and infant...a newborn...a 13mo child..." Accompaning those i got a few OB and just a small handful of heart diseases and geriatrics. I stopped at 115, got only 5-6 SATA, 3-4 meds, alot of prioritization and infection control. no calculations (which i studied alot of), no drag and drop, no hot spots...geez i almost feel like i studied all the wrong things. anyways, i do have a question about the 85% passing rate. does that only apply if u stop at 85? or if were a first time taker? im kinda confused. when it stopped at 85 my heart was beating so bad bc i knew it could shut off any moment, but no it went on. and i was kind of upset with myself at that time bc i thought the computer thinks i didnt improve much. well, ill definetely keep updating once i get anything through the mail...

Hey, relax. Congratulate yourself on taking the test and don't dwell on the results. Occupy yourself until you find out how you did. Good luck. Hope you get good news.

I had a lot of prioritization ,no med calc,6 or 7 sata (i hate those , and so much pharmacology that I didnt know.I didnt study very much because I kinda wanted to get a feel of what type of test it was first,its funny though the more time that goes by the more I think I failed!Well good luck to all of you please keep us posted, if I get any updates I will post them also ,if I known how long californiiia was gonna take I would have taken the 2 hr dirve to Reno ,NV and tested their!and btw just for fun I went to a psychic and she said I passed!Heheheh if only it was that easy!Good luck everyone !

:wshgrt:Hey I hope you both pass Boards. I will be taking mine pretty soon in CA too in about two weeks. Do you guys have any advice on what would help others when taking this test or preparing other than practicing questions? Ps please post when you guys get your results, for now like others said keep your mind busy and have faith.

The good thing is that you did your best.

The exam is over and stressing whether you passed or not would make it a lot worse. Just do something relaxing while waiting for the results. Go shopping, watch a movie with friends, workout, 3 day weekend this week, so try going out of town, etc. In other words do whatever you enjoy as long as you refrain from thinking about the exam. Before you know it, your your results are out.

You do not have to drive to get the results any faster. You can test fo any state in any locale that the exam is offered in. Anyone can sit for the exam in any locale and they are free to chose their state where they wish to get licensed. You could have gone for licensure for NV, and tested in the same center that you had used.

85% pass the first time. And you really do not want to see med calculations on the exam, so that is in your favor as well.

Best of luck to you.

Guys i passed!!! Omg..after 30 days of torture...this is the most happiest day of my life haha!! Im typing in caps bc im soo excited!! I cant believe it, honestly i thought i failed bc the wait seemed forever and the more people kept asking me if i got my results, i felt the weight of doubt heavily on my shoulders...but all i gotta say is, dont give up and stay hopeful. I know for sure i thought i had lost all hope after waiting for so long....now i feel more than ready to take the rn nclex which will be soon...but for now, im gonna enjoy and relax and be proud to be an lvn!! I can officially write: Chenin, t., lvn!!
