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.
