Everyone feels the same way that you do when they leave the exam. There is no way to anticipate the type of questions that you will get on your exam.

The number of questions that you received also has no bearings on determining your results.

Depending on the state that you tested for will determine when you will see your results.

Best of luck to you.

I took the nclex-pn on 7/14/08. I began studying after I graduated on 3/10/08. I did the kaplan qbank online and I read Saunders. Two weeks before my exam I read Nclex-pn Incredibly Easy, Saunders, and I bought the Kaplan book (I went into detail everything that I knew I was weak on). Two days before the exam I partied like a rockstar. I did not review anything the 2 days before my exam. I spent 45 minutes on the nclex and it shut off at 85 questions. I was not confident in any of my answers. I got 2 intake/output calculations and 2 drug questions. Most of my questions were prioritizing patients in rooms. I really thought I failed my exam because the questions did not seem hard but I wasn't confident in my answers! I was even second guessing myself with adding the intake!!! I did not let myself think negative ( I was also reading the secret) and I bought a pair of scrubs and hung them by my bed so that it was the first thing I saw in the morning. Oh yea and I went to 9 churches the day before my exam and prayed at each one =)

I live in California so I had to wait 4 weeks for my results. I PASSED!!!!

I begin my first job as an LVN on September 1st. I am so nervous. I keep rereading my nclex review books and everyone is telling me to just relax. I am SOOOOOOOOO scared :nurse:
