I came face-to-face with the NCLEX-PN this morning. Lots of pharm, lots of prioritization.
When my computer shut off after 85 questions I found myself wanting to smack it to see if I could shake a couple of more questions out of it. The more, the merrier in my mind!
I thought my jitters and nauseousness were bad before I took the exam. Those have multiplied by ten since I left the testing center, haha. Now the 48 hour waiting game begins.
BTW -- I'm new here. =) Good luck to everyone who has taken it and is waiting on their results / those who will be taking it in the future!

I too faced the monster test this morning and it shut off at 85 questions for me as well. I cursed to myself when it shut off because I know I did horrible and wanted a chance to redeem myself.:angryfire
I am in complete SHOCK as to how hard it was and how much the 5 books I used to study did NOTHING for me and this test. I feel like I wasted 2 months of studying for nothing.. I'm not joking when I say I think I would have done better by not studying and just going in there (not that I recommend that).
What gets me is IF I did fail (which I think I did- sorry can't think positive after that) there is NO way for me to study for this test! They didn't hit on major topics for me and the topics they did hit on, it was a minor detail they wanted info on that none of my books talk about.
I had probably 15+ pharm questions and many priority questions too. I'm just frustrated at this whole thing.. I was an excellent student and always did well on practice nclex exams.. what happened to me today then??? Ahhh thanks for letting me vent.. I didn't want to start my own post and scare others!
i felt same way after the test "change of pace" and guess what i passed. from what i hear on here everyone gets 50% right or wrong one way or another. you be surprise in two days to find out you passed.
