Hi All,
I just got home from the NCLEX. I feel sort-of numb. I got 120 questions. It was as hard as everyone said it would be, but I still feel like it was the hardest test I ever took. I felt like I didn't know the answers to so many questions. The worst part is everyone that I went to school with that has taken it got 75 questions and 2 girls that were there left before me and both got 75 questions.
That makes me feel like I definitely didn't do well. I'm so upset I think I better just try and calm myself down for a little while. I don't think distraction is going to help for the next 2 days.

Tomorrow you will need a new screenname. It will nynurse:p . I am feeling very bipolar today too...lol
Hi Girls,
Well, I was doing well today up until this point. I feel like my chest is going to explode (not a good feeling). I can get my results tomorrow and part of me feels like the agonoy of waiting might be better than finding out bad news. I keep going over it in my head but I just feel like by the time I got to 120 questions there was no way I was doing well b/c the questions were SO difficult.
A friend of mine that took it last week got about 80+questions and said she never felt like her questions became "difficult". So what is up with that??? I have this "waiting for the other shoe to drop" feeling.
Will keep u all posted. Good Luck NYNURSE and CAMMY429!
Okay, time to do a nursing intervention...
Take a deep breath. Let it out slowly...1...2...3...4. Now inhale...1...2...3...4...and exhale...1...2...3...4. Repeat as many times as necessary.
Rent a funny movie. Or put on some upbeat music. Exercise. Take a bubble bath. See if your significant other is feeling "perky"...
Get those positive endorphins flowing! :)
It's going to be OK!

Well I wouldn't wish this feeling on anyone but it sure helps that we aren't going through this alone. I am sure most of those to come and most of those who have already went through it have felt the same way. Like your friend Spec, yesterday when I was doing my exam, I felt quite confident as well. I don't know if that's an ominous sign though because I have heard people say that if you think it wasn't that bad chances are you failed. When I got home yesterday though, I was bugging out. Last night I couldn't fall asleep because I kept remembering some of my questions wondering if I chose the right answer. My test shut off at 75 questions. And the majority (about 80%) of my test was prioritization. Does anyone know what level prioritization ???'s are? Anyway, we are less than a day away from finding out our fate. Did your friend find out if she passed as yet?

Hey everyone I'm new here and I also just took my test Jan.25. I had the max. 265 questions so i really feel sick,i came home from the test yesterday and cried and vomited all day. My friend who went with me only had 75, i think i was the only one who had the max cause i was the last one out. I really studied for that test but it was like where did that come from, there was alot i didn't know the answer to. I think maybe i should have not put RN after my user name.
