My NCLEX experience

[dabmtcuRN]

Hi everyone,

My heart is still pounding!! I took the test on friday morning with 75 questions and just checked quick results and I PASSED!!

I woke up friday morning with a miserable migraine and needed to take 2 imitrex 100mg to get it to start going away. Luckily on my 1 1/2 hr trip to philadelphia it did. I got to the center early and they took me right away. I sat down, wrote my name with RN behind it on the white board, took a deep breath and began. I only checked where I was in the numbers about 3 times and was in the 20's, 50's and 73. I don't usually have much test anxiety so I was comfortable throughout the test. I had 2 med calc., about 8 SATA, a lot of teaching/meds and quite a bit of priority/what do first/next and a few infection control. I felt pretty good when I left but this wait and double thinking myself almost drove me crazy!! For those still waiting to take or for results try to think positive and take deep breaths.

I only told my family and my 1 preceptor at work that I was testing because I didn't want the stress of everyone knowing and telling me I would be fine. I don't regret that decision, it took a lot of stress off of me.

Good luck to all those still waiting for their results and for those yet to test!! You will do this!!
