Just took the NCLEX Exam, 204 questions.

Hey, everyone,

I graduated in August and took the NCLEX-RN this morning. I feel absolutely sick with anxiety, and I keep crying every couple minutes. :( It took me a little over 2 hours, and I got 204 questions. I come from a school with a 98% pass rate on the NCLEX, and I graduated with Latin honors, but I still feel pessimistic about my results.

I don't find out until Monday or Tuesday since I took the test today (Friday), and it's killing me. There were things I hadn't heard of on the test, and I know you guys can't tell me whether I passed or failed, but I just need some emotional support right now. I called my mom at work to cry about it and she felt I was overreacting. I think she forgets how difficult nursing school was for her and all that.

To further diminish my self-esteem, I'm having trouble getting a job since graduation. I have a second interview with a hospital on Oct. 22, but I have already been turned down by one hospital, and another hospital has yet to respond.

Any words of advice would be great, as this will be the longest weekend of my entire life. :(

You will find the results show after 48 hours so in theory could see your results after 48 hours on Sunday

I know you're nervous, but try to do something that takes your mind off your test results. Watch your favorite movie or read a good book. I'll pray that you did well.

Thank you. :) I'm going to try to play a video game or something. I've settled down a bit now, but I'm resisting the temptation to buy a bottle of wine and have a big relaxing lunch, lol. I'm going to hit up the gym later and my boyfriend is taking me out tonight to get my mind off things. I smell a backrub in the works! Thanks for the support, I think I just need to talk about it.

i took mine a few weeks ago on a friday, and my results were available on sunday. so just try to relax, i know its hard, but think positive. there's nothing you can do about the results now anyway. most people feel like they failed after the test was over.

good luck!!!!!!!!:heartbeat

keep us posted

Oh, good...thanks mrscoozy...I'm hoping I get to see them ASAP. One of my nursing friends texted me and said one ouf our classmates got 265 questions on the test and ended up passing, so that helps my anxiety. :)
