Most of us feel this way leaving NCLEX. I also had some meds that I didn't know. Thank goodness I didn't have but one cheap shot peds question; mine was mostly neuro and the digestive system. Nothing on endocrine, mother baby, and maybe one psych question. You probably did better than you think, but if you are able to try, I would stop looking at the notes until you get your results. It is hard for us to accept, but, there is nothing you can do now but wait. Reliving it can drive you insane.

I had a harrowing experience...it was pouring down raining, and after that test, I really don't remember to this day how I got home. I just remember placing my key in the door, walking upstairs and crying to my poor, bewildered husband. But, I passed. I hope that it is the same for you. Good luck, and if you wish, post us the results.

hey ... that is how I felt too!! I took it 2 weeks ago and it went up to, 172 questions!! I had a weird feeling.. I kinda thought that I passed but again maybe I fell.. since it went up to high. 2 days later, I found out I have passed! it was the best feeling ever!! I hope you passed, crossing fingers!!

Please keep us posted...I hope you passed. I know the feeling :)

All you can do right now is wait and PRAY.

I got my result after 21 days. Waiting was the worst part of it. The first 2 weeks was fine but after that... terrible feeling. The mailman was my best friend. But once you pass, it's all worth it.

Good luck!
