hi. i notice that many people say that they passed the NCLEX with 75 or that they had all 265 and passed. i am curious as to what other scores people passed with. is there hope for people who get 190-230 questions? just wonderin'.

i hear a lot about passing the NCLEX with 75 questions or passing with 265, but what about all the numbers in between? if someone gets around 200 or 220 questions, is that a good thing or not? it is hard to believe that the number of questions doesn'...

congratulations! i too just passed my associate degree nursing program. i have decided to enjoy christmas, spend time with family and friends and after the new year i will hit the books studying for the NCLEX. everyone in nursing school deserves a br...

Hi. I am currently in my 4th out of 5 semesters of my nursing program. I am loving every minute of it. I have noticed that after being on my feet for the entire morning of my clinical day(usually by the 5th hour), my fingers on both hands are slightl...

i assume you are asking if my feet swell too and the answer is yes. i find that my ankles are swollen too. this is not an everyday thing, but mainly after i have been on my feet for some time.

i know exactly what you are talking about. i can put hours and hours into studying, reading, NCLEX questions etc and still struggle with a test. i am currently in the "toughest" semester at my college and many people do feel that the instructor is ou...

This is hilarious!!! :rotfl:

I get frustrated with the students who complain the most about how bad they think they did on a test, only to find out later that they got the A you were hoping to get and didn't.

:balloons: Congratulations! May all of your future dreams and goals come true.

Make sure you don't fall asleep before your pinning and miss it :wink2: . Congratulations! :balloons:
