I took the NCLEX yesterday (12/31) and now the anxiety and waiting are killing me.
I felt like I was not doing well, because it was "NOTHING" like what I expected. All I could think of was, "please don't shut off at 75". Well, on the 75th question, when I clicked "next", it shut off. My heart stopped for split second.
I either did much better than I think I did, or I did so bad that I failed it in 75 questions.....
What do ya'll think, if it stopped at 75, are chances I passed or failed more possible? I was a great student, graduated with the highest GPA in our 4 year program, but I felt like I had never even been to nursing school when that test started.
Hey mitek!! I am in your shoes today!! I took my NCLEX yesterday and it clicked off on me after 75 questions. I am scared out of my pants. I had four other classmates to take the exam today and two of the four had 265 questions. I'm glad you did well on your exam. I sure am praying that I did too!! Good luck in your new career. Where are you going to be working?
Im right there with you.Took it yesterday and it also cut off at 75. I keep second guessing myself and can remember several that I know I missed. This has been the longest day,but results should be on line in the AM. Congratulations on passing yours.
Wished I could give you some encouraging words to ease your aticipation. The waiting is the hardest part. I too had the computer shut off at 75. I treaded water the whole 4 years in school, while my friend beside me who aced every class with an A or B had the maximum questions. I passed however. And you will too. You just did the hardest part. I was able to call our state board 800 line. I typed in my ssn and when the voice said my nursing license number I just felt like a big mountain had been taken off my shoulder. You will be fine. Keep us posted!!
My friend and I both passed. We got our "unofficial results" today online and now we too are waiting for the license to post online. We start orientation and will have to start with a pay cut if they won't accept our unofficial results for orientation. Are you going to be working in Atlanta? If so, where?:roll
