hey everybody, i found out today that i passed! i am still in shock, i really thought that i had failed, god is good, thank everybody for all your prayers :loveya:

we are definitely in the same boat, I went in feeling very confident and went out in total shock, I was mad after the test I felt shafted to recieve a test like that, they say the questions start out easy and work their way up the difficulty level, mine started hard and ended hard, and not that hard bothers me, it was just the style of the questions

heads up, know about botulism

Hey everybody, I took NCLEX today I had 85 questions, I am hoping for the best please pray for a passing score I have never been so scared in my life

hey everybody, i took nclex today, it was bad!!!, i mean really bad, my test was certainly very different than others from my class have recently experienced ,i had 10 select all that apply, several meds that i have never heard of and i studied alot of meds recently, i had exotic diseases some i had never heard of and others i think i remember from micro, but we did'nt cover them in nur school, lots of prioritization and infection control but the questions were very confusing and the answers could have been any of them i had most narrowed down to 2, i believe no amount of studying could have prepared me for what i experienced today, the screen went blank at 85 which is what i wanted when i went in

its already time, i can't believe it, everybody please pray that i can get through this and just get it behind me

hey everybody i am testing friday the 26th, and getting very nervous, everybody please pray that i will know every question, and not let my nerves get the best of me, and pass this test, i am tired of it lingering over my head, i just want to get it behind me so i can get back to a normal life and my kids can get thier mom back, i am claiming it already done, in jesus name.
