Congrats New Nurse!!!!!!! You Did It!!!!!

DivaRN82 - CONGRATS NEW NURSE!!!!! YOU DID IT!!!!! Doesn't it feel so great?! I took the NCLEX-PN and thought that was rough with only 85 questions and thinking I failed. :balloons::smiley_aa Kristi Lee - I'm currently taking classes for my RN and you're saying RN is easier than LPN boards?! Wow that's something else cause I thought it would be the exact opposite. I thought there was no way I could only study for 3-4 weeks for the NCLEX-RN and pass.

Eddie - Congrats New NURSE!!!!!:w00t::w00t::w00t: Falon - I took my test on Thursday and my results were ready on Saturday. Good Luck and take deep breaths.

Thanks yall! I'm still so happy and excited. Now on my journey to RN. The road will be long, but I believe I'm ready for it. I still don't know the rhyme or reason behind the NCLEX and it calculating PASS or FAIL, but I was told that when the computer is 95% sure that you have reached at or above 50% minimum competency level (difficult questions) than it will cut off and that could be at 85 questions or 110 questions. That's why I keep telling people that the # is just the #, but I will say that if you stopped at the minimum # then you have either done extrememly terrible or pretty dag on good. I'm guessing if you get the minimum and you studied than you more than likely passed. I'm a believer that at least 95% of people pass at minimum # and only 5% fail at minimum #.

Not sure if you ladies are still around, but just wanted to let you know WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I PASSED THE NCLEX-PN!!!!!! YEAH ME!!!!!!!! :balloons: GOD IS SOOOO GOOD, EVER SO GOOD! I OWE THIS ALL TO HIM! :bow:AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGING WORDS! Good Luck to you all still trying to make it through. Stay strong and you will make it through!

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I PASSED!!!!!! YEAH ME!!!!!!!! :balloons: GOD IS SOOOO GOOD, EVER SO GOOD! I OWE THIS ALL TO HIM! :bow:AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGING WORDS! GOOD LUCK TO ALL FUTURE TEST TAKERS.

WOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I PASSED!!!!!! YEAH ME!!!!!!!! :balloons: GOD IS SOOOO GOOD, EVER SO GOOD! I OWE THIS ALL TO HIM! :bow:AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND ENCOURAGING WORDS! GOOD LUCK TO ALL FUTURE TEST TAKERS.

CONGRATS NEW NURSE!!!!!! :balloons::w00t::monkeydance: When did you take your exam? My results still aren't up yet and I'm trying to wait ever so patiently, but it's really not working. I barely got any sleep last night and can't wait to go home and get in my bed. One of my classmates passed with 85 quest, one other passed with 205 quest and one failed with 200 quest. So I don't know what to think at this point. I know that the # is only the # and I have to keep my FAITH in GOD that he helped me pull through it.

BoonersMom - Good Luck!!!!! Praying for you to PASS!!! I'm waiting on results myself and everyone keeps telling me to chill out and go and have a drink. Even though I have yet to do it, I'll pass on the advice and advise you to do the same. I'm from MD. I know it has to be quite cold up there?!?

I just don't know what to do with myself. I took the NCLEX-PN today and it stopped at 85. When I got home I looked up some answers to a few of the questions and I know I got at least 6 or 7 of them wrong and about 6 or 7 that I know I got right which 3 of those were calc questions. I'm trying to keep the faith that I passed, but it is really hard. I've heard of some that pass at 85 and some that fail at 85 and I know the # of quest is just the #. I would at least think that they would've given me a chance to answer a few more questions if I was getting some wrong and I would hate to believe that I was doing just that bad to stop soooooo early! Well, waiting patiently (at least trying to) for quick results in 48 hours.

Well it's finally over! I took the test today and stopped at 85 questions. It was funny because I took a break after my last calculation question which was 83 (yeah, it took me 2 hours) and then sat back down for 2 more questions and the screen went blue! I was like ok, so that's it, no more questions??? I'm really feeling a bit "iffy". I'm saying that because I had a few questions that I couldn't even remember what the answers were to something that I should've know, but of course I didn't review any of that content. Then I had a question which seemed like it was repeated and when I looked at it I knew or at least felt, that I had answered the one previous to it incorrectly!!!! Now it's waiting time. I should be able to get my results within 48 hours and I'm not sure if that means Saturday or Monday. It's in God's hands now so I'll have to be patient. I'm really praying that I did pass and that the computer would've given me some more questions if I wasn't doing all that well. I had 3 calc, about 5-6 SATA, alot of priority. I will tell you that as soon as I sat down my heart was palpating, I thought it was going to come outta my chest!!! Good Luck and many prayers to all who are testing soon!!! A friend of mine said "Hey you know the stuff, just go in there and have fun with it"! Can't say that's what I did, but I'm definitely going to try and relax this weekend!

Happy New Year!!! Well ladies and gents - my time has come. . . tomorrow is the big day and I'm not as nervous as I thought I'd be. I'm kind of ready to go in and get it over with. I've asked God to come into our hearts, minds, souls and bless us all that are sitting for this exam and give us the peace, serenity and knowledge that he has already provided for us so that we may achieve and accomplish a PASS score. Good Luck and many blessings to all of you that are upcoming!!! Please send up an additional prayer for me!!!!

Cash - AMEN!! AMEN!!! AMEN!!! It feels so good to have a place to come and be able to vent if we need to, pray, or ask for advice or even to verify a procedure, med, etc. My time is getting sooo close and I haven't been feeling anxious as of yet. I have been dreaming about all types of things pertaining to nursing. When I wake up I start laughing to myself and realize how powerful this NCLEX has a hold on so many of our lives. Sometimes I can't go to sleep if I'm trying to recall something and can't think of it, so I get up and get my review book to confirm it. I've been doing pretty much just the Saunders Review book 3rd edition and the CD. I made a study plan to go through as many content areas as I can on the CD and count how many I actually get wrong to see what my score would be in the study section instead of taking the Exam. I've been doing pretty well, which makes me feel even more ready to knock this NCLEX out the box. Good Luck and many blessings to those preparing to test soon!!

Woooo HOOOO!!!! You did it! Congrats!!!!

Merry Xmas and Happy Holidays to all!!!:Ball::icon_cheesygrin: Massou - How do you like learningext? I was thinking about getting the 3 wks package, but I might have waited to late since my test date is Jan. 3rd. Do you think it's worth it or is it similar to Saunders or Kaplan? Sam7779 - Hang in there! I'm really inspired by you and how you've remained calm and positive. It gives me confidence to go in there and strive for the best, but if in the end I come up short there will always be another date for me to re-test. Good Luck and many blessings to you on your new upcoming date and that PASS in 08!!! Well, my day is coming near and I'm actually not as nervous as I was before, which I am really happy about since I practically almost made myself sick the day I scheduled it. My classmate is taking her test on Monday and I'm really excited for her to sit and I told her that I know she'll do great, in fact; my whole class will do great and we will pass (hopefully our 1st time around). I have studied a little throughout the holidays and feel guilty when I'm not reading or doing some questions. I know I need a break and shouldn't wear myself out, but the guilt still lies there. Good Luck to all that is getting ready to test soon!!!! God is watching over us and he'll be right beside us each click of the way!
