Woot! It can be done. Just found out I slayed the NCLEX-RN beast on Monday and passed after going thru sheer torture answering 265 questions. But I passed!!!!! Officially an RN now. Can't believe at. At age 53...who'd a thunk it?????

Congratulations! I'm 47 and understand your excitement.

Please tell me how you kept from frecking out when you went passed 75 questions? I failed the first time I took the test with 203 questions. All I read is "I passed with 75". I have been trying to prepare myself for 265 questions. Any tips?

I just kept telling myself it's only a number. Sure I was disappointed when it went past 75...didn't concern myself too much until it went to about 150. then I took a break, stepped outside for a ciggy & tried to clear my head. Then again, I've been saying since graduation that I would be the one to get all 265 questions and so I kinda expected it. Just try to go with the flow...not everyone gets 75 and not everyone who gets 75 passes either. good luck to you.
