I just took the NCLEX today and I'm not feeling too good about it. My computer shut off at about 145 questions, who knows what that means. I have no idea how I was doing, but I feel that no matter how much I studied it did me no good. How do they expect us to prepare for this. I did 100 questions a day from Saunders and even got a new review book that was harder. I also read Kaplans. I don't feel that I was prepared in school for this type of testing. I don't know what I'll do if I didn't pass. It's so hard to be positive when I feel like I failed miserably.

Awww!! I know how you are feeling.. It's that yucky-day-of-the-nclex-someone-kicked-me-in-the-gut feeling.. Everyone gets it... I know exactly what you are saying when you wonder how we were to prepare for it.. I felt the same way when I walked out.. I was so MAD because I thought I surely had failed, and OH what a waste of time studying.. Anyway.. the feeling was maddening and heartbreaking all at the same time! Anyway... I don't know what to say except everyone feels like they failed but the truth is that most people pass.. I know that this won't make time go any faster (because truthfully it will be the longest 48 hours of your life)... but I am thinking of you and know you are not alone! All of us that have taken have felt the same way.. Hope you get good news soon!!!!!

Oh and if you are in cali... hope you get results sooner that you expect.. I think it BITES that cali has to wait more than 48 hours... I would rather wait BEFORE the test than after...

Most everyone in my class...including me, thought we all failed the NCLEX. I just knew I failed after I finished up my last question. I even went home fighting back tears. I was depressed for weeks because I just knew I failed. I analyzed every question I could remember, and even looked up answers to about 20 questions I could remember, and found out that I chose the wrong answer. Talk about worried sick. The day I got my letter in the mail I didn't really care to open it...I knew I failed. Guess what? I passed, and I really couldn't believe it!!! I think everyone who takes that test feels that they failed. I know it's hard but try to keep yourself busy until you get your test results. Good Luck!!! You probably did pass!!!!!!!! Keep us posted.
