NCLEX-RN stopped at 79

I took my exam last Friday (Jan. 16, 2009) and when the computer screen

turned blue after question 79...i knew i failed it!

I tried checking Saunder's for the questions that i could still remember and

for those that i couldn't find the answers i went online to check for possible

answers...to which i realized the results were really not promising. So, i

was even more convinced that i failed it. When i went back to work yesterday,

i told everyone that im certain that i failed it.

I was gearing up to start Suzzane's plan...bought the Prioritization by Lacharity.

Then earlier i found out that i PASSED!!!

I'm elated...surprised...mixed feelings...im still trembling!!!

Now i realized that there really is hope...and to all those waiting...

HAVE FAITH...in yourself!

hi lilangel424,

Thank you so much...

I started seriously reviewing last November 2008 (when i got my ATT), that was actually

what made me feel that this is real...

I used Saunder's 4th ed, did tons of tests (Saunders, Davis's, Lippincott, Nclex made easy)

and if i can't sleep, i would listen to kaplan's audio or feuer. At work, i placed my notes on

my cart (im working as a housekeeper) and read bits of info i've written while walking on

the halls or before i start cleaning a room.

I really thought i failed...i even ordered Prioritization book (yesterday) and i started doing

Suzzanne's first tip and i told everyone at work that i failed!

Im very happy! It seems so surreal! Im sure you will be able to make it! I'm a foreign

graduate and i have so much respect for the US educated nurses.

You will make it...have faith in yourself!

That was so me last week. I took the test Jan 12, spent the next 3 days believing I failed and was in a constant anxiety attack followed by exhaustion!! I found out I passed Thursday, Jan 15! We all need to take comfort in knowing that whether you pass or fail, you are still going to only get about 50% right anyway. You are most likely going to remember the questions you struggled with, so don't be suprised when you look them up and they are wrong. It is an emotional roller coaster waiting to find out. I don't know that there is really any advice to give regarding the anxiety- just keep busy! Go for a walk, clean your house, go to the movies. Do something to keep your mind off it!

Congratulations, This is why we tell people to wait for results and not assume they fail. The exam is set for a 50% pass/fail and also 15 questions are test questions so the ones you could remember and looked up may not even be questions that was marked. Good luck in your new career

Congratulations!!!:yeah::yeah::yeah:

Congratulations on passing the exam.

And as Anna has mentioned, this is why we always tell everyone to wait until they get their actual results and never to assume anything. You have an 85% chance of passing the exam the first time if you trained in the US, so things are always in your favor.

Best of luck as you begin your new career.

Congradulations and best wishes in your nursing career. :D

Congratulations! :yeah:I hope I pass mine when I take it. I am going to just stay positive. Again CONGRATULATIONS on your greatest accomplishment.:)

where were you educated ? I am foreign nurse too, didnt pass first time. If you could give me some advices!!! Thanx!!!

Congratulations! I would like to know how to get the audio for KAPLAN NCLEX reveiw. I was hoping to find something like that for my review. I plan to retake my NCLEX in March.
