Hi,
So anyway I took the nclex last Wednesday, Jan 14th and left there feeling like I was not prepared for the test. I was really feeling down after I left the test. As a matter of fact, the questions were so hard that I don't know what could of prepared me for the test. I have been studying the Saunders 4th edition CD, as well as the Lippincott CD. I checked the BRN website today and my name was not on there. The test stopped at 75 questions. I know the last two questions I got I answered wrong because I looked them up after I got home.
My friends from the semester ahead of me in nursing school all had their name on the BRN website within 3 days. I think this is why I am feeling down. I am also feeling this way because I am suppose to start my dream job in February, which is a 5 month residency program and I will have to let them know that I can't except the postion if I didn't pass. There is no guarantee that I will get back into the program when it starts in the fall.
If I failed I just don't understand how I would of done so bad where I wouldn't of received more questions after the 75 mark. I mean the test can go up to 265 questions!
Anyway just needed to vent to others who are going thru what I am. U know trying to tackle the Nclex so I can get on with my life! Can anyone recommend a program to help me pass the Nclex if I didn't this time. Or perhaps a book that has more of the type of questions that are on Nclex?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Most leave the test site feeling like they did not do well. Stay positive. I missed my last question ( yep, I looked it up ) and it was WRONG!!!! But I passed. Hang in there. Sometimes results are delayed for a variety of reasons. Be patient. ( really hard to wait ) Good luck. I'll send positive thoughts your way.
Oh, by the way............:wlcmggrp:

If it make you feel any better. I left the test feeling like I passed but yet I failed. So it all goes to show nothing is for sure. You just need to cross your finger and pray hope for the best. Good luck!
