...I used to think that the people who posted about waiting 48 hours were so lucky that it was behind them but now I know the pure agony of it all. I took it today and got 75 and I know I know getting 75 is a good sign, I have read the posts but I am freaking out . I did 75 questions in 2 hours. Had a few precautions, a lot of priority, NO DELEGATION, quite a few meds (of course that I didn't know), 3-4 select all (yikes again). I am worried because all along I was like this is a breeze I know it will turn off at 75...but now I am second guessing answers and looking things up. Some things I can not even find in books, rare procedures that are 1 paragraph with no triangle in Saunders. I will admit the questions were similar to Kaplan.
Didn't someone post that if you come out feeling like you failed you passed and vice versa? At first I thought I did great and that scares me too!

I took it monday and recollection of some of the questions had me gathering info on when I could retake the nclex. I had almost convinced myself that I had failed. I checked today to find that I passed, so don't give up hope. You probably did just fine! I did 80 questions in 1 hour and 15 minutes. Most of my classmates passed with 75 questions.

I had 75 questions and I was afraid of not passing - because of no delegation questions and very few select all that apply format. I was concerned when I compared my exam to all the other experiences I read about - about having tons of priority and delegation. I was afraid my exam was too med-surg.
But I passed.
The 48 hour wait felt really long - only when I got the result I felt like vomiting. I was that nervous. Funny enough my friends thought I did not appear overly concerned... I was horrified!

I hear you. I can certainly understand and sympathise with all those who have posted while waiting, I think it was the longest two days of my life. It's just long enough of a wait to start second-guessing the entire thing! hehe.
I bet you'll be posting your "I passed!" post very soon! :)
