Nclex today-felt like the twilight zone!

Published

I can't believe it is over-today was THE dreadful day---Nclex day!!! I thought I was prepared and all, after doing hours and hours of Kaplan. But I have come to the conclusion that the boards are pretty much a regurgitation of the last two years of school. Taking the Nclex was like a bad nightmare...you press and press the NEXT button and it feels like the twilight zone :) I walked out of there truly believing I failed...There were meds I have never even heard of and the SATA's are just awful. When the computer shut off at 75 questions I thought "well there you have it, I did so poorly it's throwing me out". I came home and....Halleluja....the skies opened and the angels were singing......;)....got the good pop up!!!! I still will not believe it until I see the official result. Good luck to everyone else taking it soon....if you can graduate Nursing school...you can pass the Nclex :)

You'll do great... :) The level of Kaplan and the Nclex are pretty much identical. I think taking the course did help me focus more on the questions.

I felt the same way after getting the good pop-up! It felt so surreal and I saw the skies brighten up again for the first time in months! Haha! Congratulations! :D

I took mine today too and I'm so afraid of trying the trick and it showing me the bad pop up. It was just awful...I had bunches of meds and priority questions...a few SATA...

I used Kaplan, mostly their online Q-bank in tudor mode. I liked the immediate feedback I received to see why I got the question wrong. But I truly believe no matter how hard you study for this you are still going to be a nervous wreck going into it. It's just too much information to possibly know all. :eek: Now I am obsessing about the BON website looking if anything's been posted....I might just have to pay tomorrow and get the quick results.

I am sure you did well :)) I bet almost everyone feels the same way, totally defeated, coming out of that test.
