Just finished NCLEX! YOIKES!

Specializes in Critical care.

I had 75 questions and about 15-20 SATA.

there were a few on there I definitely knew and a few in there I definitely DIDN'T know. And the rest were iffy!

my classmates who have already taken it have been getting their results 24 hours later, so hopefully I will know by this time tomorrow. I'm freakin out!

First, stop freaking out. It doesn't look good on you and it hasn't helped anyone yet ;)

Next, realize that around 85% of US educated candidates pass the NCLEX on their first attempt. Having the minimum number of questions indicates that you either did very well or very poorly and the computer could determine competence (or incompetence) quickly. SATA questions, how many or how few, mean nothing.

Given the kind of student you were in school, the rigor of your program and reputation in the community....given your preparation for the exam.....is it more likely you did very well or bombed it? I'd say the odds are in your favor :)

Good luck!

Here's hoping you get your results quickly. It's the longest wait of your life, isn't it? But that elation when you find out you passed is worth every minute :)

Good luck :up:
