I'm thoroughly convinced that there is no rhyme or reason to it. I passed the NCLEX. I don't know how in the world that I happened. I was 100% sure that I had not. I even started getting money together and studying again to retake it next month, but looked on the CA BON website today and there it is. Prayer has to be the answer. There is no other way that I did it. Thank you all for your encouragement and kind words through the wait. Steve

Thank you for the encouragement. I'll post it, good or bad. Thanks all.

I can't believe it. I took my NCLEX-RN yesterday. I studied so hard for it. I was scoring over 65% on all of my Kaplan and Saunders tests. I froze up from the beginning. I kept getting basic knowledge questions (how to use a cane properly, S/S of things like pheochromocytoma and hypokalemia, what would be normal: A. Vesicular beath sounds over the apices of the lungs, B. Bronchial breath sounds over the blah, blah, blah, etc.), and if I remember correctly, only a small amount of priority questions along with one or two "who would you put in a room with this patient." It shut off at 75. I don't even remember answering half of them. I can't believe it. I cried and cried and cried, and I never cry. I feel like crying right now. I just know deep down that I failed it. Not because it shut off at 75, but because out of those 75 questions, I didn't see anything like the types of questions that I have been preparing for. I kept getting what seemed like millions (although probably only 4 or 5) select all that apply. I just know deep down that I never made it to the higher level questions that are needed to pass.
