I took my NCLEX today!!!!!

I took my NCLEX-PN today and it took me about 1.5 hours. I felt INCREDIBLY NERVOUS throughout the entire test. I mean I literally felt as if I knew NOTHING. every answer I was unsure of---except for maybe one or two. I studied vigorously for 1 month... I have over 600 flashcards. I was scoring in the 60's - 70's on my Saunders-PN questions online... then as of the last 2 weeks I have been scoring anywhere from 80-100 on my practice tests so I felt that I was ready to test. I took a Kaplan Qbank Readiness test and got an 86% and a 62% on the other, but then on all of the other recent Kaplan stuff I was scoring around 52-58%... it's like the more I did Kaplan the WORSE I did... so I ended up just leaving it alone all together.

****** Here is my NCLEX-PN Testing Experience in further detail: I took 1.5 hours to take the test. I got to question 85 and literally started to pray in my head and ask God for more questions if that is what I needed in order to pass. I did NOT fell like I was at a passing level at this point.... So.... after completing my final question 85 (which was an exhibit item) I clicked submit and my screen went blue...

that was it--- my test was over and I was about to pass out from nervousness because I KNEW I FAILED.

I had bout 48-52 SATA questions and those are MY WEAK POINT.... approx.: 4-5 exhibits, 3 Delegation, 10-12 prioritization questions 2 math questions, 4-5 med questions...

I heard that there are a lot of SATA, but I never would imagined it to be almost my entire test....!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to my car and immediately I tried to do the PVT. I did it and it basically seemed like it was goona make me pay, but it was asking for me to correct my card info. I also check the BON and my GVN permit was no longer listed... I knew this was a BAD SIGN....

I took some deep breaths... shed a tear... then I drove home... (40 minutes later) at home I checked the BON and my GVN permit was LISTED AGAIN ON THE website!!!!! THANK YOU GOD!!! and Miraculously I tried the PVT and it worked... I got the "good Pop up"

WOW... maybe I just checked it too soon.

SO don't panic if it doesn't work after 5 minutes... wait and check it again...

I pray that I passed!!!! I definitely studied and did the best I could to prepare myself for this test.

SORRY THIS IS SO LONG!!!! ;-)

I will let you all know when I get the official results. ;-)

LVN in the making... next stop= RN!!!
