NCLEX-PN with only 85 questions

I took the NCLEX-PN yesterday and swore up and down that I failed :crying2:. I walked out of the testing center feeling completely defeated and wished I never even bothered trying. I couldn't sleep, eat or keep still it seemed like. I'm so happy to have heard that I passed this morning from a friend of mine who checked my info on the state board of nursing website. I guessed I felt almost half of the questions, but did extremely well on the HESI-PN with a score of 1028. Everyone said I'd do fine, which obviously I did because I passed, but I certainly didn't feel ok or prepared while taking the exam. I guess my insight into it all is even though you're a good student, don't walk into the exam super confident because you don't know how you'll really do when the time comes down to it all. I'm so happy that I passed and can move forward with my plans. I say don't give up and just wait and see how it all works out for you until the very end. Good luck to you all that must embark upon this same anxiety in the future. Just believe in yourself! :nurse:

I felt the same way when I took boards. You are sooo right i FELT THE SAME WAY...like i failed, couldnt eat, couldnt sleep, couldn't do anything. glad you passed boards......

The 48 hours after the test are sheer AGONY! Congratulations on your success!
