4EverDavesGirl, Dadgum, and anyone else who thinks they failed: Let me share my story with you to gain your hope up. I took the nclex on monday. My best friend had 75 questions, and passed with flying colors- my questions kept coming, and coming, and god, I lost count after 170. I have never felt so bad about any test in my life. There were meds and diseases that I have never heard of. One of the diseases wasn't even found anywhere in my Kaplan book. Have more faith in yourselves and trust in the lord and pray. I strongly feel that if it was not for the lord and my faith, I would not have made it. Im sure you all did fine. Just believe and don't doubt miracles.

I am sure you did fine! I didn't think I passed either, I was SURE I failed and was depressed eatting chocolate and crying for two days! Everyone says they think they fail, and now I see how true that is. Have hope. you didn't make it this far for nothing. I am sure you did fine.

Guess what? ....................I found out today that I PASSED! Thank yoiu all for your words of encouragement and prayers! I am so grateful. I will continue to pray for all of you! Thank you again! :clpty:

More good news, I found out I passed today too! Thank u all for your words of encouragement! God Bless you all! And good luck to all!\

We are riding in the same boat. I have been looking up alot of ?'s that I was doubting myself on, and the answers I picked, are of course, wrong.

Also forgot to add I think that the last question I had a gut feeling that I went on, and my friend swears that I am right, and thats when the computer shut off. Maybe thats a good sign?

I started doing better on the QBank questions as well. 68s-80s. There were things on there that the Kaplan book didn't even include, which had me gasping when I ran out of the building in tears. I had no multiple multiples, no diagrams, no calcs, just multiple choice.

So i took my nclex this am, and feel absolutely horrible. There was so many things I had no idea what the heck they were asking, or talking about, so much I know we did not learn in class. I do not feel confident at all, and am very scared. I had about 197 questions, and then boom-lights out.

:dncgbby: congrats

i am going to be you on monday. i have freakin bronchitis, and by monday will have my....ya know...monthly friend which really sux! did i mention i'm a train wreck with tests? i think the avg number of questions are like 198 kaplan said, im sure you did fine!

The way I try to eliminate those answers are if any pts are : to be discharged newly admitted needing teaching/education not stable then they would not be delegated to an LPN. Maybe "newly post-op" wouldn't be considered an issue in this situation? Sorry cuoldn't help more.

We were told to prepare to be there for 6 hours. Bring lunch, water,etc and prepare for a long day!

:smilecoffeecup: I am going to try to do the opposite of everything you listed. I was just curious b/c I have been reading where many people didn't pass, or have taken it multiple times, but there's supposed to be a 85% passing rate? Im sure you know how nervous I am. any tips to get over test anxiety? Thanks.

My first thought when reading that question was that the SICU nurse should be able to handle a newly post-op pt w/ a renal stent placement since those nurses are used to dealing with critical surgical patients. I wouldn't chose that answer though if it was a med-surg nurse for example. Hope that helps some.

I also am having issues with that book. Some of the answers are not what Kaplan has said, or what we were taught in school.
