Took the NCLEX, it was horrible!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Well, I knew from reading this board that everyone who takes the NCLEX feels like they failed. I warned my husband. But OMG, I feel like I failed! I felt like I was guessing on 75% of the questions, I just didn't know the answers. There were diseases I didn't remember, prioritizations I wasn't sure about, drugs I couldn't remember, you name it. Hated every minute of it. I had a lot of drugs, some infection control, no math, no OB. No positioning. Definitely the dreaded SATA. One drag and drop. Anyway, I was all prepared to do the Pearson trick when I got home, but I can't, I don't have "Delivery Successful" yet. I'm so frustrated. I can't imagine having to tell my friends, family, and worst of all future employer that I failed.

K, just venting. Thanks for reading! :o

If I was to threw a random guess, i would say that you have PASSED! Most ppl pass on their first try. No need to worry, you will be just fine, and good luck. :)

I take mine tomorrow......I am in knots already. I know they said not to study the day before......what have I done.....I studied allllllllllll flippin day! I did not listen. I read all these threads and got myself into a tizzy. Of all the threads I read, they all say that they dreaded it and it was super hard, all they ALL passed. So that means you are fine! Keep us posted, I know it is easier said then done but relax, you are worried for nothing.

OMG well according to the pearson trick I passed :D. But wow, people are not lying about how hard it is. And about how you will feel after! Thanks y'all and GOOD LUCK. It's going to take me an hour to calm down.

CONGRATULATIONS! I knew you would pass, how many questions did you get?

Congratulations! I felt the same way when I took my NCLEX. I felt like I only knew 1 answer for sure. Way to go!!!:yeah:

I got 75. And I'll tell you something that threw me - the last question was NOT what I consider a "passing level" question - it was kind of like "what is happening in this disease process", not application or analysis, not priority or delgation. So I thought for sure I had failed based on that. I didn't know the answer to the first question I got, or the last question. I didn't know the answer to most questions! I got drugs that I couldn't remember for the life of me. LOL it's a miracle, I'll tell ya.

See......TOLD YA!!!! Congrats :balloons:

CONGRATS for passing!!! I think it's funny how this whole NCLEX works!!! I have taken the NCLEX twice now. The first time I felt horrible like you did and had 188 and failed. The second time I felt great and had 77 and failed again. I retake the 8th of July... I have felt both great and horrible after the test and have failed both times!! lol so I'm not sure how this time is going to go! Good luck to all!!
