MOST horrible Nclex experience of my life!! I nor pass nor failed!!!

[Txnurse722]

So I went to take my Nclex yesterday and I was feeling pretty calm, didnt have a stressful night before hand or a stressful morning. Ate a good breakfast, worked out, was able to put on make up and do my hair! Feeling awesome right! Well I go in to take the test and I am a hr early. The women tells me i can choose to start taking it if I would like too and I was like "ok sure" so i sat down to take it! I got past 75 questions but I was still feeling confident in myself. THEN BOOM....the power goes out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was like OMG!!! OMG!!! We waited over 30 mins for the power to come back on and nothing. There was a huge storm that came, which i didnt even notice it was raining outside because i was so focused!

They told us since our tests were over and was submitted we had to reschedule. well i got a call this morning from the regional manager and i cant take it again for 2 weeks!!! 2 weeks!!!

Granted everything does happen for a reason, but I was feeling down and out last night. After everyone told me "take this as a sign" as a sign of what I was failing! I kinda broke down last night but after taking to a few old co worker and one of my professors im good friends with im feeling better!

I know i wont have the same test again, but i look at it as i have the upper hand now because I know what it is like for real and when i do finally take it in 2 weeks ill be ready 110% and it wont be as bad.

All I can say for everyone else that is taking it, know your stuff. Go with your gut, dont second guess. The the answer and move on! I was asked about the most random stuff!

I took Hurst and those rules to follow by did help, but there were things that Hurst never went over that you should have a general idea about.

Good luck to everyone taking the Nclex over the next few weeks! you will own it!

Wow that is crazy!!! But that is good you are looking at the positive side of things and now you know what to expect going into it!! You will do GREAT!!! I also took the Hurst but I feel there is more content that I should study to prepare. I have been looking through the Saunders book as well... any suggestions?

Wow! I'm really sorry you had to go through that. Taking the NCLEX is stressful enough, yet going through it twice must be a challenge for you. Maybe it will help you out since you understand the style of NCLEX now! I tried to stay positive which helped me out a lot on the NCLEX. Good luck! I'm sure you will do great!

I am also a firm believer in "everything happens for a reason". Was there content that you were being tested on that you felt you were lagging in? Take this time to review those areas. Good luck!
