hey guys! i'm very new to this site and want to share my nclex experience. i just took the nclex pn on wednesday. i studied for a month, mainly did online saunders questions and ati questions about 200-300 questions a day. the day of the nclex i felt confident. i was usually an A/B student in nursing school and passed my comp pred with a 99% probability(which meant nothing to me on nclex day 3 months later).......after taking the nclex i didnt feel so good. my test shut off at 85 questions, i had about 40/50 sata, 5 meds questions, 2 drag and drop and a lot of prioritization. every sata i felt there was an answer or two where i was life "*** this could or could not be right?!!" i (just like everyone else who is waiting for results) am very anxious. i'm from california and i know its takes forever for results to process. but i can't relax til i actually see my results!!! does the pvt work??? i tried pvt and got the good pop up. i guess i'll wait patiently and if i do pass i'll update my post. i just need some positivity as i wait dying inside lol:cry:

Hi- I'm also new to this site and I took my LPN NCLEX this last Monday, Feb 9, 2015. I took my test in Hays, Kansas. I studied prior to the test with ATI's as well as class notes. Most of my test questions were also SATA, prioritization, and educating patients as well as educating other nurses. I had a few drag / drop, approx 3 medication questions, as well as very few questions regarding infection control (droplet, airborne precautions) and some basic lab questions. The receptionist at Pearson test site told me they are changing the site so the "trick" doesn't work. I checked multiple times with my nursing board website, and under the "application checklist" tab, it showed that they had rcvd my nclex with a passing score. I was so relieved, because, like you, I also was a great student, but also didn't feel so great after the test.
I hope you get your results soon, I know how nerve wracking the waiting is!
Lovethisworld

I passed my test in January with 85 questions. Everyone's test is different so even though I had a lot of a certain subject, you may not. My best advice is to practice NCLEX questions. If you see an area you're weak in, review that area.
I did pass! So relieved! I start my RN program in 2 weeks

Congrats ! I was wondering how was ig for you . Did you find the materials you studied helpful on the test .. My day is approaching sooooo nervous.
I got my results today 3 weeks later....and I passed!!!!!!!! If your from California you just have to wait. My classmate got her results 5 weeks after
I completely agree. I did as many practice questions as I could to prepare but focused more on the areas I was weak in
Congrats!!!
