Dear God, Help it's me after 265 questions!!! Hello all, First off this website is wonderful. Found it randomly when I used google search. I took the NCLEX-RN today for the first time, just graduated, and I walked into Pearson Testing Center positive and ready to tackle 75 questions. I told myself "let's pass this with 75 questions, let's rock and roll!" When I kept getting more questions after that, my heart kept sinking deeper and deeper into my seat. I have no idea how I did. There were questions that I should have known the answers too, but just blanked. I am usually a calm person but today was just plain sad. At one point I realized I was using pursed lip breathing (funny now that I look back on it...not funny then or a couple hours later)... I can't even remember the questions I got. All I know is that I kept hoping the test would just stop and put me out of my misery. At one point I thought I was done. The computer stopped...only to find it out that it was telling me that I could take a break. I did not want to take a break. I wanted to get it over with and get the heck out of there. So, I did not take a break. It's "funny" now that I think about it because the entire time after the 75 questions, I was not mentally there. I saw the question picked the one I thought was right and moved on. When I got a SATA type I figured this is worthless because even if I check most of it right, it is still going to count as wrong because you need to pick all of the right choices. So I figure, I'm screwed there. Got these ridiculous calculation questions that had millions, yes, millions (figure that one out...) What else? Infection Control, a lot of them. When you study it you think "oh that's easy lemon speezy"...no, it is not easy. All in all I have been crying, screaming, running scenarios, basically, going out of my head . I am frustrated. And now the wait begins.
