momofthree · Aug 9, 2008

Meow2, no I didn't take any review classes, just a class offered after graduation that was at school. OK i just got home, I went out with my neighbors and husband for some well deserved drinks, but the minute I walked in the door, I am freakin' out again. Checked the website, NOTHING....I cannot take this anymore, if I didn't pass I will be sooo upset, I know I can take the exam again BUT sooo many people are asking me SO DID YOU PASS? I want to use some 4 letter words to answer their question!!!! I studied using Saunders 4th edition, Kaplan 2008 purple review book, Kaplan medication flashcards and www.rnquiz.com. When the test did not shut of at 75 I went into complete panic mode, which I tried my hardest to talk myself out of. Well it's another day and I will check again around noon. I will keep you posted, thanks for the prayers, I need them right now!!!!

I know how you feel I also had 265 and I passed. I was a wreck for two days. I tried to keep my mind busy but it was hard. I had two other girls in my class who also got 265 and they passed. So hang in there. My friends that tested and got 75 also went home crying and they were stressed.

I just think NCLEX in general is a challenging test. Stay positive and prayful.

Thank you sooo much MEOW2 you are so sweet. Out of all the questions I was doing the ones that I feel were most like the NCLEX were from the Kaplan NCLEX review book (purple front). The questions I thought were really hard, which is just like the NCLEX questions. This book also has a disk with 180 questions on it. I also have the Kaplan NCLEX RN medications in a box. Very simple to the point flashcards. If I can give you a few words of advice, study your MEDS and INFECTION CONTROL. I also had quite a few ESRD (end stage renal disease). I also had 2 questions on Carotid Endarectomy (spelling????). I drew a blank on this questions like an idiot. I have been looking off and on all day and STILL NO RESULTS. I went out last night with my husband and some neighbors to a neighborhood bar to have a couple drinks, I had to take my mind off this darn exam. I will be routing for you, you can pass, have faith in yourself. What state are you in? I'm in upstate NY. I appreciate your kind thoughts, stay strong, you can do this. UGGGHHH let me go check Pearson's website for the 20th time today :crying2:

Have you checked your state BON website? My results were on the WV site the same day. I took my test in the am. A classmate took hers in the am but did not finish until in the pm. Her results were not up until 2 days later. Made no sense to us. Good Luck!

YES I checked there too and NOTHING!!!!!:angryfire Oh well I just have to be patient for now. I know they will be posted by tomorrow because all my friends that took it on a Friday had their results by Sunday afternoon. I will try to keep busy until then. I have to work tomorrow 7p-7a so I would love to tell my fellow coworkers that I passed. If not I want to reschedule my test ASAP, but I think you have to wait 45 days in NY. Thanks for the advice!!!!!!!

I think I just hit the F5 on the PearsonVue page for 36 hours straight...all the while making a plan for what I needed to study, how I would do things differently, how I would explain myself to family and friends.....

When the result finally posted, I STILL refreshed the page 100 times, just in case it was a mistake!

Take a deep breath. There's nothing you can do to change the outcome now. Just try to take care of yourself.

hi silverdragon102,

I finished my NCLEX RN on 8/06/08 in CA with all the way 265 questions.

Is it true like you said we have 85% of passing if we took the whole test??

up until today 8/09/08 i still did not see my name on the website of BRN

I am really scare...I think i might not pass again this time.

I tried all my best and did what Suzanne plan instructed ....now ...i am hoping for the best to pass....

xonlyindreamsxRN · Aug 9, 2008

I'm sure you passed, although I only went to 120 I understand what it feels like to think you failed....i took my test wednesday and all day thursday and yesterday I was so depressed. All i kept thinking was omg i failed what am I going to do, but everyone kept telling me "you did fine, dont think about it".....thats retarded because of course we are going to think about it! It's pretty much all that matters to many of us right now! Just have a few drinks and try to relax. THE TEST IS OVER....:) so there is nothing you can do now.....thats what i kept telling myself lol .

I can't imagine yet how stressful it must be, BUT the test is set up to ask you as many questions as it takes to determine wether or not you have the knowledge set it is looking for. Sometimes that means that it knows you do OR DO NOT after 75 questions, and sometimes it takes them all. The computer is just looking for certainty so 265 doesn't count you out. A lot of times it counts you in. Good Luck!!

XONLYINDREAMSXRN did you pass???? I went out for a nice dinner and a few drinks tonight with my husband and my best friend. I swear I never ever go out and I have been out both nights this weekend!!!! My kids keep asking me if I am losing my mind because I have been pacing the floors and acting strange....oh well I know for sure tomorrow I will know....the countdown begins..........thanks for all the support!!!!!
