I just cried in my car :'(

I have taken both the PN and RN and I cried like a baby for the rest of the day both times convinced 100% I failed. I even cried during my RN test. I passed both on the first attempt. Big hugs, take a break and wait until you know for sure before you even start thinking about more review. Be kind to yourself. If you failed come back and we'll help you find the next step. Hugs.

Just want to give you words of encouragement and empathy. I know how it sucks after failing RN- nclex twice! I had over 30 SATA questions and they would not stop coming, literally. It will take you a couple of days to battle the emotions. Take a breather, it will be all right!

I never met anyone who walked out thinking they passed. I was 100% sure I failed as was a classmate of mine that took it the day before I did. I did Kaplan and she did Hurst and we actually made plans to renew then switch courses. I cried all the way home, told my husband I failed and sat up for two days doing more Saunders questions. Both of us passed.

What you feel is normal, but it is not definitive!!

BREATHE.

First, congratulate yourself on taking the test!

I didn't know I passed when I took my NLCEX-PN either; I panicked when I got the minimum. There wasn't a PVT when I took the exam either, but I waited 48 hours and looked on my BON site and found out that I passed.

When I took the NCLEX-RN, I felt I did well, only because I knew about it; although I was still afraid to do the PVT, and even when my friend talked me through it, I still waited and checked the BON.

Do something relaxing; go out, spend time with friends, etc. before finding out whether you passed or need to take it again; IF you need to take it again, come back and post and there will be plenty of posters willing to help you, including myself, prepare for the exam again.

(((HUGS)))

I walked out of my NCLEX in tears as well. I had shut off after 76 questions in 30 minutes. An employee at the test center looked at me on my way out and said, "WOW, We have never had anyone take it so fast!". I promptly burst into tears and was convinced I failed. But I HAD passed...so take a deep breath and relax! You will be fine!

Now, this makes me sooooo nervous because for one, I'm about to take the test in three days. I don't know how I'm gonna do because it's my first time taking the test. I've reviewed, read, and practiced answering NCLEX-style questions. I'm somewhat confident because I've improved so much and I already know how to answer question in NCLEX format.
