OMG, I took the nclex yesterday and It stopped at 190 and I am so scared...after it didn't stop at 75 I freaked out and had to take a break and compose myself in the bathroom. I cried as soon as I got to my car and for the rest of the day.i am losing my mind waiting. how soon can I find out?

I heard so much about the Hesi Exit exam that it drove me crazy. I took it 3 weeks ago and passed it the first time with a score of 986. I thought it was a decent exam, almost easier than I anticipated. I did a lot of NCLEX questions to prepare for it but I especially used the Saunders book to review material. now, over half of my class did not pass it and that was really hard for me knowing my friends had to study for another month to take it again. Good luck everyone who has to take it soon.

Oh wow, interesting story!!! and I like and agree what you said about the extra thing that being a nurse has...K

Well one of my worst stories was when I went the day before to pick 2 patients, get their info . I was so excited, I think it was my 3rd clinical ever on a med surg unit. I went into the room of the second patient, all proud of myself, excited and the patient was there with his wife at his bedside and I told him that I would be taking care of him the next day with a big smile on my face...he looked me up and down and barked at me that he doesn't want some ignorant student use him as an experiment ( I am using nice words) and he didn't want me to do anything to him....I stood there thinking of a polite way to answer him ( I was dying to just say how I really felt but I want to be a nurse so bad,..) and I calmly answered him that I wasn't going to do anything to him, that I was going to be with his nurse under the supervision of my instructor. his wife felt a little bad for me I think as she tried to make conversation. the next day at the pre-conference, I told my instructor about the incident but she still made me talk to him, give him his shots and his meds and he questioned me every single one and which doctor ordered it and why ..it was the worst day of my life ( I was so nervous giving him his insulin shot that right before I gave him his 68 units of lantus I somehow touched the seringe and lost 3 or 4 units of insulin and I had to tell my instructor, who explained that we will be right back, helped me waste it and draw new one...I was mortified, I cried so hard when I got home that day :-(

Wow, Way to go....what a story, what courage......you have my admiration.

Growing up in Morocco, I always dreamt to be a Doctor and I worked hard but after high school I found out that to get into medical school I needed a connection or a lot of money to bribe some big corrupted administrator, so I went to a tourism school that landed me on an exchange program to the US.I worked very hard to start a new life here and finally I became a US citizen and had a good paying job, a more comfortable life and I decided that it was time to get back to school and do something in the medical field. at 38, I am in my first semester in Nursing school with English as my third language and a lot of determination, and you know what? I love it and I will survive it.It might take me a full 20 years to achieve my dream but better late than never.
