I was confident, I told myself I was going to pass, I have studied, I have worked as an LPN in a hospital for the past year......I drew a complete blank at the test sight. I'm pretty darn sure I failed. I could not remember how to do calculations. ...

I just found out today that I passed my RN NCLEX. I am so overcome with emotion. Here is the story of my long, emotional journey to becoming an RN. In 2001 I was working as a Human Resources Manager at a company in a nearby city where I live. I wa...

congrats CeeCee!!

I felt EXACTLY the same way you did 2 nights ago. My test stopped at 75 and I felt as if I only answered a few questions correctly. But I found out today that I PASSED!! These past two days have been increadibly stressful for me. I worked a 12 hou...

I found out that I PASSED!! I was so overcome with emotion!! It is true that EVERYONE believes they failed after taking the NCLEX. I didn't think it would happen to me but it did!

If pass rate is 85% pass the first time.....there sure seems to be alot of people on here who have failed!! I'm feeling worse by the minute!!!!

Congrats pitbull!! I hope I passed also!! I find out tomorrow!!

I had 4 like that!!

How were you able to find out so fast???? I think I have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest. What state do you live in??

I think one of the biggest changes should be that you get your results instantly!! I also feel kind of jipped that I didn't get my full money's worth. LOL My test was $343 so by answering 75 questions that makes each questions worth $4.57. Wherea...

I was in this same situation yesterday!!! I had so much confidence going in to the test and left feeling clueless. I have never had test anxiety and I feel like a knew my material, but that does not make this knawing of self doubt go away!! I coul...

I am in the same boat as you trepin. I too am 40, but have been in healthcare for only 5 1/2 years. I am not 20 and do not have 20 years to dink around in other units to figure out where I belong. The minute I stepped into the Psych unit I knew th...

Here it is almost midnight and I have a pounding headach, can't sleep and feel like I could puke my guts out. My husband and kids do not understand and think I'm being silly. This is cruel and unusual punishment!! I can't even imagine those people...

I am so sorry you feel this way studymom39. I have never for one moment regretted my choice of becoming a nurse. I personally did not find nursing school to be real difficult. It was a challenge but I really did enjoy it. (Just hated the politics...

I know I have the knowledge....but did I apply it correctly!!! I'm feeling a little better. I did the delmar learning review and passed the comprehensive tests 6 times with the minimum questions (they have a CAT like test they do).......but the ...

I felt the same way you did pitbull!! I just got home from taking my NCLEX 2 hours ago. I had worked night shift 4 nights in a row and couldn't sleep last night. I got a whole 3 hours sleep before I had to drive 1 1/2 hours to my test. The calcul...

Good luck to you! I think I would have felt better if I went over 75. I can't believe how dumb I feel. I'm afraid I was too confident. Everyone said to go into the test confident and I did.....now I have all kinds of self doubt. An amaretto sour...

I just took my RN test and it shut off at 75. After reading these posts I feel even worse than I did right after the test. I drew a complete blank on how to do calculations!! All but one of my calculations were mcg/kg/min and wanted to know mg/hr....

Thank you so much for your reply!! It was just what I needed. I had an RN I work with that graduated last year tell me, "What you have to remember is that everyone thinks the test is horrible and that they feel they didn't pass when it was over. S...

i am a new rn grad who has worked in our psych department as an lpn several times this past year. i now have an opportunity to work there full time as an rn, but i, like many people had that same mentality that i should be doing all the "sexy" stuff...

After reading some posts on here, I'm now getting scared to take my NCLEX. I graduated May 9th and still have to send in my paperwork to take the test. I am usually a good test taker and I don't get test anxiety, but after reading this, I think I'm...
