I took the NCLEX today, nervous....

[SuccessBeMine]

I have been reading the forums over the past couple of weeks and I really love to see the comments. They are very supportive.

I took the NCLEX RN exam today and got 133 or so questions. I do not feel like I passed and it does seem like most people that pass have a low number of questions from what I see on the forum. I felt like I was guessing way too much to pass, it took me about 2 1/2 hours.

I had a lot of priority questions, 4 list all that apply, no math. I studied hard for it out of 4 books with no review course taken. At this point if I failed I don't know how to study for the next time. Thanks to all of you who give support through this web site!

I took mine today too! Fingers crossed.

Relax. I know the number of questions means nothing. Just think positive...

Mine shut off at 75.

Goodluck to us!

A friend of mine just found out she passed and she had around 130 questions..you never know

I'm anxiously waiting too. I feel the same way....don't know what else i can do to study if I fail.

I've heard of people passing at all numbers, don't lose hope!

I took mine yesterday and got 80-90 questions. =( I dont think its looking too good. I got lots of priority, 2 math, good amt of meds, colon ca questions, and at least 3 or 4 select all that apply. I was actually praying for at least 100 questions.. cause I know I didn't blow the test outa the water. So I'm fairly certain I didn't pass. Any tips on trying to recover and get ready again? And how to effectively study content without just looking at it? Thanks!

don't be nervous!!! easy for me to say. i just found out today that i passed!!!!! i had 80 or 85 questions. i left feeling really unsettled, but i started feeling better about it, when i came home, and went over what type questions they were asking. i had a lot of priority, meds, a couple of ob, erickson, infection control. i was so surprised at all the meds, and the generic name was listed in a few, not the name brand. i almost freaked out! don't let the number of questions that you had on your test upset you, because people get all numbers, and most pass it the first time. good luck and god bless!

Hi! I found out this morning that I passed around 0900. I took my test Monday at 0900. I had 80-85 questions. You had 78, so I am sure that you passed. Try not to worry too much. Most everyone passes, and I am sure you are one of them!
