Just took my NCLEX! Anxiety through the roof!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Hello RN's and future RNs!

I took my NCLEX RN today and let me just say I don't think i did well at all. This whole experience was so traumatic and i acutally cant remember half the stuff i was tested on. Anyways...

The computer shut off at around 118 questions. I was so devastated being that i felt like i completely missed more than half of the previous questions. I was hoping to get more questions!! lol. For those that have taken Kaplan probably noticed that the test was very similar in format in terms of the color of the interface and i swear even the fonts were the same!! The questions were just as difficult, probably at a higher level.

I got a lot of priority questions and a mix of alternate style questions (pictures, drag and drops, exhibit, and the ever so favored SATA) I found it strange that i didnt get too many. I wanna say about 10? I wasnt keeping count being that i was trying to remain calm and focused. I also didnt get too many medications, and no delegation questions.

I've read a lot of these forums and im well aware that everyones exam is randomized and theres no way in telling if you passed/failed. I have this horrinle gut feeling that just wont go away!! I am sure of one thing this was one tricky exam!!

If anyone can offer some consolation I'd really much appreciate it since these two days of waiting are going to be a draggggg.

Congratulations on passing!! And yes, what you felt after taking NCLEX (like you failed) is completely normal. Many folks do (including myself). I took NCLEX last week and passed. Breathe a little easier now and go celebrate!

Thank you to all who congratulated me!! It's been such a great weekend off!! @mckab best of luck to you!! Remember to focus on the question in front of you! And no matter the number of questions, you're still in the game :)
