thats wonderful congratulations!!

Everyone told me to relax the day before the test, i couldn't. I felt that i needed to be reading or doing more questions. And thats exactly what I did. And honestly when it came time to take the nclex on wednesday, I felt that I didn't know anything. Out of all that time and effort doing practice questions and studying, i felt that i didn't learn anything. But i obviously did, because I passed. So you just have to go in and take the test. Its true you might feel you weren't ready for it, but i didn't know how else i could've studied for the nclex. I dont know if this helped at all, but good luck to you. If you've practiced alot of critical thinking questions, then I'm sure you'll do fine:)

congratulations!!!!!

first of all i want to apologize to everyone that i gave grief to about how i know i failed and being so down on myself and so negative. Thanks for your support and patience. I was certain i failed especially after reading all these posts, because I came to the conclusion that those who passed at 75q were the ones who had a ton of SATA's, and who's questions toward the end of the exam were hard. My experience on the other hand was, only 2 SATA's and the questions started getting easier before the exam ended. You can imagine how upset i was. The questions started out hard, and alot of them were unheard of! I cried for 2 days and nights. After 48 hours my results were not up. I have read posts on here that when they weren't up soon after 48 hours, they failed. So that broke me down even more. I cried once again when my results were ready. I was reluctant and prayed before clicking the *next* button. My results were finally up, and it read pass. Im still in shock, now i can relate to all of those who feel they failed but really passed. I know what its like. But its hard to listen when everyone says, keep your head up. And yes now i know that SATA's do not matter, I've been told that many times,but i was being hard headed. Again, thanks for the support!!! I PASSED!!!!

Thanks suzanne, i hate being so negative and hard on myself, it takes alot of patience to deal with someone like me because, i read your positive feedback, but for some reason, i don't think it applies to me. Its like, ill read them, feel a little better, then go back to my original thoughts. Ill stop with the SATA posts, and just accept that I am just one of the unlucky ones who probably didn't pass. I know you say wait till I get my results and stay positive, but I'd hate to set myself up only to be disappointed. Man, i need some serious counseling or something....lol

I only had 2 SATA's and the test stopped at 75, and reading the trend on this forum, it looks like the ones who stopped at 75 with a ton of SATA's passed, and the ones who stopped at 75 with 2 or no SATA's failed. Im not saying everyone, but most. SO your chances are pretty high that you passed. I know the number of SATA's don't matter, but I can't help to think that it does for the most part, by reading these posts.

what a story, thanks for sharing, best of luck in your new career:up:

i just took the nclex too, im sure i failed, but you've been encouraging, because i know ill have to take it a second time, im so hard on myself i know, but its how i cope i guess, not setting myself up for disappointment in the end

iowa i care, just curious, how many SATA's did u get?

thanks to all of u for the encouragement, but yea it is hard, and i wont be happy till i passed. Thanks for sharing your stories with me, but i am certain i failed, the questions are slowly coming back to me, and everyone i think about i got wrong *sigh*..good luck to those of u waiting your results

congratulations!! thats wonderful

hey JEWELZ just wondering, did u pass your first try?

thanks so much for the motivating words, i really need to somehow get thru this. Ill pray u pass this saturday janrgonz. thanks again everyone

as i go thru and read some of the posts, it seems like those who stopped at 75 with a good amount of SATA's passed, and those like me who only had 2 or less failed. (for the most part) Its just a pattern i noticed. I know they all say the number of SATA's don't matter, but again, its just something i noticed.

i took the nclex yesterday, stopped at 75 with only 2 SATA. For some reason i had a feeling that i would stop at 75. At about 67 or so the questions started getting more recognizable/easier, and i think i even got those wrong. Most of the questions were unheard of, and i was only sure about 3 of my answers. I am such a wreck right now, I am 110% sure i failed. And whats worse, my family knows that i took my test and waiting to hear that i passed. My moms a nurse, about 7 of my aunts are nurses, and about 6 of my cousins are nurses, which all of them passed the 1st try. It will be so embarrassing to face them. I don't know how much more i could have studied...kaplan, saunders, nln, and more. Im so discouraged right now. The only thing that makes me feel a little better is this forum, i guess im not alone. ITs the hardest time of my life right now. Sorry, I had to let my emotions out:cry:
