i am a new user to this website. i decided to join over the last two days. see, i just took NCLEX-RN on tues, july 8. i guess i don' thave to tell you guys just how nerveracking the wait for your results is. the night before, i didn't sleep nearly at all. in retrospect, i wish that i had taken something to help me sleep.the drive to the test center (about 40 minutes away), i felt pretty pumped up. i was listening to good music, which helped my confidence. i was really nervous during the test, i had to keep reminding myself to calm and slow down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my advice for people whohave yet to take it is to SSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW down--- you have plenty of time. at first, when i left, i was just so psyched to get out of there, and felt pretty good about the test. i had 106 questions. then when i got home i realized right off the bat that there were a LOT of questions that i had gotten flat-out wrong............................ and the freaking out began.
i found your NCLEX forum and read all of the entries that i could. i felt so so much better!!!!!! i realized that LOTS of people feel the same way i did. and i loved how excited everyone got when they would post that they had passed...............
i have never had two days go by so slowly. i felt defeated and must have checked my computer every five minutes- no joke. i couldn't sleep well. then this morning, at 9am, i finally finally finally finally got my results. when iput in my credit card and pressed enter, i broke out into a cold sweat and my fingers started shaking. i was dreading having to tell my family and friends that i had failed. but i didn't. I PASSED. i msut have looked at those four letters for a good ten seconds in case i had read it wrong. needless to say, i was elated. i like cried and laughed at the same time. today was the most rewarding day i've had in a long long while.
i decided to join this forum to say thanks and that what peopel write in these is actually true: it IS ok to fail- it happensand you can work through it. it is WONDERFUL to pass. EVERYONE feels terrible when leaving NCLEX..... etc...
anyway, thanks guys and i'm glad that i am now a member both of the RN team and of the allnurses.com team!!!! (sorry this was so long.) :redpinkhe
Hi everyone. I took my nclex this morning and like everyone else I am really upset about how it went. I got 106 questions and deep down I know I failed. I am looking for a shred of hope, but I can't find any. My parents are mad at me for saying it was hard and that's really not helping. When other people say that they "thought they failed" is that just something you say or did you really feel it in your bones and then was presently surprised? Also, I looked up the answer to my last question AND I GOT IT WRONG. I just feel like there is no hope. Can anyone help?
