NJ - 85 Questions and shut off- PN

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Just took NCLEX-PN yesterday and felt like I knew nothing I was reading in the questions. I know I know a lot and I'm very intellegent, but I felt like I got 4 answers correct. In my test I had 5 or 6 SATA's, Lots of priority and teaching, 1 calculation. I honestly don't know what to think. I feel miserable about ansering those questions, but when the computer turns off- initially I felt like What? That's it? I felt like I needed to answer more questions. But then out of nowhere, I could feel God's presents with me, and it was calm and peaceful, and I felt like I passed. So, I will just have to see tommorrow.:heartbeat:saint::heartbeat

i just took mine (nclex-pn) a couple days ago and after a very, very, very long 48 hours, i found out i passed! i swear the 48 hours of waiting after were some of the longest hours of my life! :( when they took my fingerprint before the test, i actually had to hold my wrist to steady my arm because it was shaking so much! i just wanted you to know that i left feeling the exact same way you did! the test was done at 85 questions for me too. i had a ton of "check all that apply." i hated them with a passion. i'd have one or two checks that i'd remove...then put back...then remove...and go back and forth before i'd finally just have to go to the next question! :no: they were driving me crazy and i swear the computer just kept firing more and more of those things at me! i kept waiting for some specific questions about diseases, but kept getting stuff on delegating tasks to nursing assistants, prioritizing patient care and even had one "check all that apply" with all meds where i had to check the ones that were "wrong." i left there feeling numb because i honestly couldn't remember half of the questions i had gone through, nor knowing at all how i did. then, i kept staring at the doggone question number in the lower right hand corner...paying attention to if i was over 85 or not...which kept distracting me! i almost wish they didn't put the number on there, as i'd rather not know what question number i was on! i remember being around question 77 and just praying it'd be done at 85, so i could go home! haha! :chuckle after the test, i went home and immediately checked the pearson website for early results...thinking there'd be some "fat chance" my results would be up. but, they didn't come until 48 hours later (almost to the exact time). i was so scared to look at my quick results that my hands were shaking entering my credit card number. when i saw the word pass....i immediately let my emotions out and starting crying in my hands. it's like all this stress just rolled off my shoulders. now that i'm actually a person who has taken this test and passed, i know what people say about that "feeling that you flunked." it's so true. seems like many, many people leave feeling horrible and unable to function until they get their results. all i could think about is the people in other states that can't get quick results....i just feel so bad for them! so, i'm proof. if you leave there feeling terrible......think of my story and so many others...and maybe that'll give you a glimmer of hope! all i could think about were the questions that i had trouble with and couldn't remember any of the ones that i felt confident about! try to stay busy and divert your mind while you wait for results. (although, i shouldn't talk. i checked about every 1-2 hours for two days!) i'm sure my family (hubby and kids) are glad that i'm done with this, as i was a bundle of nerves and crabby for two days!! :chuckle

hang in there...don't give up hope. i'm living proof that those "awful" feelings are normal and that just because you feel like you flunked...does not necessarily mean that you did!!!!

hi periwinkle... i just wanted to say how you're experience with the nclex sounds very similar to mine. the comp shut off at 85 and i remembered wishing i had more q's so that i can still prove myself. i also remember staring at what number i was on. also, i felt the same way that i could only remember the one's i knew or thought i didn't do good on and didn't remember any of the other questions.

i guess i'll just wait and see. i took the test on may 27th and today is june 23rd... i'm hoping i will get it this week and that it will be good news.

please keep me in your prayers.

nope... no results yet! I'm not gonna let it get to me and eat me up... I'm still staying positive while still praying that I passed... and if I don't it's because God has a different plan for me... it will be just another challenge I would have to go through in my life becuase He knows I can overcome any challenge...

I have gone through so much harder things in my life, that I WON'T let this test put me down if I don't pass... I was an orphan at 14 due to domestic violence, pregnant at a young age, experienced abuse... and yet I've overcome all those hardships and managed to move on and now (at age 25) more than ever (and for a long while now) I have been happy with my life. I know I've accomplished so much already, I have a lot of potential, and a lot of things to be thankful for (like my 2 little angels). I'm one that will never give up on a goal if it is truely something I want to pursue. Whatever path God will choose for me I know it's for a good reason. My favorite quote is: "Everything always happens for a reason"

I GOT THIS! Please keep me in your prayers ... and hopefully I'll get the letter this week... it's exactly 4 weeks today!

I Really wanna thank you Safarinurse and all those who have faith in me w/ all your uplifting words of encouragement. I really appreciate it! That's why I love this forum because everyone know what you go through because everyone here was there once... I really hope the longer it takes for the "letter" to come the better chances of passing, although I know that's not the case... but that just gives me another little bit of hope =)

I'll keep you poseted and update
