Terrified after taking the NCLEX

Congratulations! You passed.

I was a solid student and had lots of prep, and when it shut off at 76 questions, I was positive I had somehow broken the computer. That was the only thing that made sense. It was a Friday morning. I got the good popup a few hours later. My RN license posted early Sunday morning.

During the test I remember thinking how shocked I was that neither my nursing program nor U-World prepared me to answer so many of the questions.

I felt the same way and did not feel confident about ANY of the questions. I had always been strong in pharm and did not recognize ANY of the drugs. However, my program and prep must have been good because, like you, I passed with nearly the minimum questions.

I remember the first question I received on the NCLEX. Interesting how my nursing program didn't teach it to me, nor would I have thought to study it. However, I did know the answer. I thought if the rest are at this level, I won't pass. After 85 questions, I was done.

You passed.

That's exactly how I felt and even after the good pop up I was still convinced I failed. I bet you passed!!

I think every nurse can tell you that after taking the NCLEX, you won't have a good feeling about it. I'm sure you did great on it. 😊
