Nclex pn 1/7/08

Published

So, just like everyone else I feel miserable. I am a great critical thinker,quick on my feet, a problem solver and not good at memorization. My test shut off at 85 and at 70 I was thinking, "well, maybe I will get 30 more questions and I can pull this off" No luck, whammo, shut down at 85...i didn't cry, I didn't think anything except how did I get through everything no knowing this stuff? I studied the Pearson online tests we got, Lippnecott, and others. I was averaging 78%

My test was mental health (which we didn't study a lot of in LPN), Mom baby,and drugs....I had about 5 SATA...which I never get right and a ton of "what would you do first" and "who gets the private room". I'm bummed that there were things I had no idea of. Drugs I had never heard of. and no clues to help. Honestly I'm pretty sure I will be taking it again. I'm trying to just let it go...I know I will be a good nurse and that much of the learning comes from working and asking.

:scrying:

Most do feel they did not do well when they leave the test site. Try to do something to distract yourself while you wait for the official results( which is very hard to do ). Good luck.

I'm right there with you - took my NCLEX-PN today and the computer shut off after 85 questions. I can get my results in 48 hours also, just not sure if I'll know Saturday or have to wait until Monday.

Wishing you the best!

Good luck to all of you guys. When I took my board I tought I didn't pass to. I the maximum question (LPN). Thanks to God I passed. I know it is very hard to calm down. Try to watch a funny movie that will maybe help.

May God be with you!:heartbeat

Still waiting for my results. I'm going to take others advice - have dinner with my daughter (who graduated college the same week I did) and go see "Marley and Me".
