Not feeling so good anymore

nursedaisy · Sep 16, 2005

I felt I did ok yesterday after my NCLEX-PN but today I don't feel good about it. Maybe I put up a front because my husband was with me and I know how much he wants me to do this. I've looked up some questions that I remember and I missed some. Now I'm thinking I was getting lower level questions because I missed some. I feel so sick now...this rollercoaster is crazy. I don't think I'll be able to find out until Monday becuase the quick results say 2 business days. I don't think they'd post them on a Saturday. I keep checking my BON but I think it's too early.
Thanks for reading...I'm a mess now. I'll feel really bad if I fail because my Mother and father in law paid for the test. I don't want to have to tell them I failed.

I know how feel. I wish us both luck and just try to do something to get it off your mind. Remember that everyone said we would feel this way.

Quick results are posted on Saturday as far as I know from friends. I think if you read through the "after-test" posts here, you'd find very similar responses to yours, and most end up passing, if that's any consolation till you get your result.

This test is a pure exercise in torture. I think hell is strewn with nclex examiners... :)

Good luck.

Ha! Thanks I needed that.

I hope no one's trying to reach me on the phone today. I will be on the net!

nursedaisy...what are you doing to pass the time?

Nobody feels good about NCLEX. Hang in there.

LOL

I am picturing all the item writers with little horns sitting amongst flames, laughing their butts off at all of the difficult questions they've come up with.

Seriously though, you do realize that the questions are written by real nurses that are in practice with new grads or teach students? And they go through an approval process with real bedside nurses? After you get some experience under your belt, volunteer to be on one of the review panels.
