Ann (and all others receiving their GREAT news today!) Congratulations and best wishes in your new profession! On the 24 hour countdown for me ... waiting is the hardest part! Michelle

I've been milling around this website for the past few weeks, trying to get a feel for what to expect regarding the NCLEX. Finally posting after using a box of tissues, as I returned from the Pearson Testing Center this morning and feel like 99.9% of the others that have taken this dreaded exam! Have been reviewing solidly for the past few weeks, answered thousands of questions in both books and on the computer, was drug away from the keyboard last night after completing my THIRD set of 265 questions in one day (Billings Review scored 78, 79, 85), slept horribly, but felt confident going in and was KNOCKED off my horse when the screen went blank at 75! Felt like I didn't know one answer and guessed at them all! NO math, 2 pharmacology and what felt like an eternity of delgation and prioritizing questions! Have my mind set that I have to retake this! 48 hours might as well be 48 weeks!
