Honestly, I don't even know how to feel right now. There were so many questions that I was completely clueless about - medications that I had never heard of before . . .
Test shut off at 75 questions, which I always heard was a good indication, however, if I was doing dismally wouldn't the test shut off at 75 also?
I just feel awful and hate the idea of going into work tomorrow and hearing the nurses ask me how I did. UGHH!
grc119, When will you find out if you passed? I didn't get a ton of SATA qx, I got 9 - I hope that's enough. I'm biting my nails and a bit more diaphoretic than I know myself to be. This is not good for optimal health!!!!!!
I passed! Just found out this morning! The more I thought about it, the more I felt like I did indeed pass, but the waiting is killer all the same!
And yes, the NBBG has great food, it was one of the few good places in North Bend to eat. I actually moved to Seattle almost a year ago, so I have a TON of places to choose from now, but I still get a craving for the blackened Salmon Caesar salad that they have there. Mmmm, now I'm going to want that for dinner because I reminded myself of it. You should try Jak's in Issaquah if you like good steak. More $$$ than NBBG but reasonable for a steakhouse and amazing food! But super busy boo.
Did my talk of steak distract you for all of 30 seconds? 30 seconds less that you have to wait for your results!
I know how you feel. I just took it this morning and the computer shut off at 75 as well. I absolutely do not know how I did....only 1 med calculation, some drugs, but a lot of infection control, SATAs (maybe 10-15). I just have no I idea.....going away for the weekend to drink away the sorrows (no I am not an alcoholic, actually I hate alcohol, but I need to get my mind of this test for the next 2-3 days). Good Luck to all of us....hope we post "I passed!" replys:(.
Well I just got news that 2 of my classmates that took the test the same day as me have failed, so I feel even worse it is about an hour before my mail gets here. I know I shouldnt let this get me down but now I am so emotional and have pretty good feeling that I also did not do very well. Keep the prayers comming I will let you all know as soon as I get the results.
i'm feeling it too...197 questions, 13 SATA, 3 med calcs, and a lot alot of who do you see first, assign to the new grad and infection control, i lost count of the meds. I have accepted the fact that there is no way that i passed.
I passed, I passed. Don't know how...I know I got the last question wrong and spent the last two days in mourning. I can't believe it...:yeah:
I passed!!! Still have no idea what to think about that mind-boggling test, but at this point I don't care. I passed and now I am pround to call myself an RN!!! YIPPEEEEEEEE!
BTW, I found out while at work (psych unit) and I screamed so loud and long after seeing my results I think they were getting ready to start the admitting paper work on me!
Thank you to all you well-wishers. Your words of encouragemeent kept me afloat.
Good luck to those still waiting -- I have crossed fingers for you all!!!
Hey! I took it today too. I'm feeling like I didn't know jack on that thing. Walked out just stuned and silent. It's gonna be a long weekend waiting for these results. Funny enough I was hoping my would shut off at 75, so I was biting my tongue not to flip out when I saw 76. By the time I got to 79 I figured, 'ok. I guess I'm in this for the long haul.' then all of a sudden it shut off, and after a really really hard question. I hope that doesn't mean anything. :Crash:
I found out this afternoon when I took mini-break at work and signed onto one of the computers in the medical library at the hospital...I was fully expecting NOT to pass, so when I saw passed, I almost "passed" out!! If it helps anyone waiting to find out if they made it or not, I felt totally insecure after I took the exam - honestly I am still wondering how I passed with only 75 questions,23 SATA's, med's I never heard of, and a whole lot of narrowing down to 2 and then guessing which one fit the best. But by the grace of God:bow: and the support of all the awesome people on here during the "wait", I did it!!!( and my fiance' peeking over my shoulder right now wondering why I didn't mention him - after all it was a looooooooooooong two days for him as well :argue:)Everyone at my house is happy to be done walking on egg shells around me....hee hee...So for those studying for their exam, may I highly suggest the Kaplan Nclex study guide!! I didn't take a formal review class, but I studied nightly with the Kaplan and Saunders study guides....Kapaln being far more helpful, knowing what I know now about the exam...It teaches you how to choose the BEST answer - and that appears to be the name of the game!!Thanks so much for all the support and for sharing your nclex experiences with me....I helped me through two of the longest days of my life!!!:heartbeat
and hate the idea of going into work tomorrow and hearing the nurses ask me how I did. UGHH!
boo.
:yeah:
