I took my NCLEX-PN yesterday! Please help me calm my anxiety!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Hey guys,

I've been looking over this web forum before and AFTER I took my NCLEX-PN test. Yesterday, March 19, 2009, I took it.. FINALLY! I was a graduate of a nursing class in December 2008. Anyway, I was expecting my machine to cut off with around 120-150 questions, like all of my friends' had.. and they passed.. Some of the smartest people in my class cut off at 85, and they all PASSED! So I walked in, tried being calm. When I finally got to question 85 and hit the 'next' button, the screen went blank and I wanted to SCREAM and CRY! To be honest, I really don't remember anything from it. I didn't have any med calculations or 'drag and drop' questions. I did have about 4 or 5 'select all that apply' questions and the rest of my test was prioritization and teaching questions with a few infection control questions(besides a few basic nursing ones). And to top it all off, I think I got question 85 WRONG! It only took me around 40 minutes to complete my exam, which left me baffled! I'm so NERVOUS. I live in Arkansas, so I find out my results in a little less than 12 hours. I just know I failed. Even an RN that I work with said that 85 isn't good.:crying2::crying2:

I just DO NOT know what I'll do WHEN/IF I fail. I'm just so sure I did. You know those 'deep down' feelings you have about something? Well, I have that feeling. My old nursing instructors were congratulating me for my machine shutting off at 85, but they just don't understand.

I'm just sick to my stomach and very worried! Please pray for me. I need all of them! And I'm SO GLAD that this forum is here for me to vent my problems to everyone! :)

Wish me luck!:)

The test is over. There is nothing you can do about it now. So relax and think positive thoughts. Give yourself the benefit of the doubt and congratulate yourself for having taken the test. There is plenty of time to react when you get your results. Good luck.

I just did the "trick" and... it said that, "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam..." or something to that extent. And it said that just as I got to the "Payment" tab. I'm still unsure and obviously won't be satisfied until I see my reseluts in, oh, about 8 hours! Haha.

When I finished taking the NCLEX-RN the guy having us take the test told me to think about what my last question was before the test turned off. If you think you got that question correct you passed and if you think you got it wrong you might have failed. Not sure if he knew what he was talking about, but actually if you really think about it it does makes sense. One more correct would push you over the pass line. I knew I got my last one correct and I passed. However, like everyone else said, it is over now so no help worrying. Good luck!

I also took my NCLEX-PN yesterday and my computer shut off at around 105-110. I worked the night before and got off that morning..slept a couple of hours and took the exam. The whole time I took the test, I was worried! I spent so much time, over three hours. I, like you am experiencing anxiety, and deep down in my heart I feel like I failed. That very night, I looked at my Saunders NCLEX book, and realized I got a lot wrong! I have to wait about 4 weeks to get my results. In California we don't have the opporutunity to get "quick results" so I have to suffer and wait. If I didn't pass, will just have to take it again. It's just hard for me, because everyone expects me to pass. Expectations are high, because I was the student who did very well im my LVN program. All I can do for now is try and forget about it.
