yes i had 265 also. it was the most gut wrenching experience ever. no one will understand - no matter how you try to explain the feeling. at least no one who had 265. i felt like you - i couldn't stop crying that night! but like everyone told me - there is hope!!! and i can say that with confidence because i passed. i couldn't believe it - but i did. a classmate of mine also had 265 and she passed too. and so will you, i can feel it. please, i know it will be hard too, but relax and be good to yourself. be proud that you came this far - really. all my anxiety was a waste of time, because i came out of it with an rn id...just think positive and sign your name all over the place with rn at the end to keep good thoughts in your head. and if it's in your religion - pray pray pray! i prayed every day - novenas as a matter of fact. it's in god's hands now and at least it will be some sense of meditation for you while you wait. good luck to you and you will be in my thoughts!!!! christy, rn :melody: :melody: :melody:

yes, when i was testing myself, i would get 60% on questions - but i was just so tired of studying that i figured out i should just take it. i wound up having 265 questions. it was horrible. but i passed!!!!!!!!!!!!! i bet you know more than you realize. from my and my friends' experiences, it doesn't matter if you take 75 or 265, you will feel like you failed. it is too late now to reschedule, unless you wanna pay the fee again, but go into it feeling positive! relax after taking it, and have a wonderful valentines day. feeling blah afterwards is normal - but you never know - believe that you passed that test no matter how you feel when you come out of there. so far, there were 9 people in my class that graduated 1 month ago who took the test, and all of us passed. so, really it was a waste of energy for us to feel like we failed! spend vday not only with that special someone, but with that special "you," and be proud of the fact that you've made it this far... good luck tomorrow - you will be in my thoughts and prayers... christy, rn ps...if you find yourself negatively thinking about the test during dinner or whatever, grab a napkin an sign your name with (rn, pn - whatever test you're taking) - it will keep you positive and make you smile!

yeah ashley, rn! i found out last wednesday - now i'm christy, rn. i prayed for the both of us - and we did it! now we can celebrate valentine's day - i just love (my boyfriend) and myself!!!!! i'm so proud of you girlie - go and party hardy. christy, rn

i can't believe it - i passed! i passed! i am in as much shock as i was when i came out of there - remember my thread, "265-worried", or "265 - freaking out.." go back and read them. i was a mushball! but last wednesday i magically saw my name on the brn website. i am ecstatic - and this has truly disproved everything i thought about taking 265...you really never know. i wish all of you the best in your nursing careers - thank you all for your support! live, learn, and love .... and have an awesome valentine's day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! christy, rn (yeah!)

Congrats on passing! Must feel damn good - now go get drunk and celebrate~ j/k. Don't know my results yet - keeping my fingers crossed - praying for both Ashly and myself! Hope our news is as good as yours...Have an excellent Week! [/size] Christy :Melody: :Melody: :balloons: :balloons: [/size]

Yes I am in your shoes. Except I took my test on 1/27, last thursday. CA is the biggest piece of @%$! when it comes to results. Pardon my francais. I mean really, is it so hard to just tell me over the phone? Where are you located....maybe you can check the Pearson website or something? I guess you would've done it already. I couldn't believe that test either. I was such as mushball when I got out of there. I cried my eyes out. That night, my family took me out to dinner and in the restaurant I was still crying! It WAS really excruciating. After so many questions, it was difficult to concentrate because in the back of my head I was thinking "omg I am at #200 (or #210, or whatever high number I was on...) will this EVER end?" So I feel your pain. I don't know - but I will tell you that if will ever wait as long as I have (8th day) - it WILL get better. I am calmer, and I just want to know now... if I fail, oh well, I'll try again - I just want to know so I can move on...but of course I hope I pass so I can do my cartwheels down my street! Hey, like everyone told me, you were still in the game. Obviously you were doing something kinda right, which is much, much better than, something VERY wrong. I believe we are one of those really good statistics - WE BOTH WILL PASS. So keep your head up, have a good weekend, and I'll pray for us! Hopefully you'll find out real soon - chris

I live in CA and this is horrible. I can't get my results on the Pearson website. I just graduated in December and I found out that our school JUST sent our transcripts last week, so nothing is processed yet, EVEN though the lady I talked to said my results were right in front of her - they can't give me any info over the phone. AHHHHH! I won't be finding out until - I guess the earliest is next week. I am sooo happy I am not the only one waiting after taking 265! I am much, much better now. Man, was I a wreck after that test! Life goes on - but I am keeping my fingers crossed for all of us who are waiting...God Bless and I'll keep you posted...have an awesome weekend...Chris ps... big congrats to Dutchgirl - you're keeping me positive. Now you can exhale!!!

I am sooooo happy for you!!!! A BIG CONGRATS - YOU DID IT....I will keep you posted with how I did - I hope I'll be as fortunate as you! Have fun with moving on to more peaceful days! YAY!!!! I'll keep you in my prayers...

first of all - thank you soooo much for helping me keep my head up. I had a feeling about that LAST question - which i spent like 5 mins on! It was hard as hell - and I thought, "I BET that this question is do or die for me!" I had no clue, but then i was soooo tired of thinking, that I picked what I thought was the best answer. OH WELL... we'll see how it goes - i am a lot better today than I was yesterday. I've just been praying sooo much! It's in God's hands now I guess - I will let you all know how it goes. ps - one of you guys asked what my plans were - well, I have a New Grad job lined up at UCLA, which is why I am kinda scared about failing the exam. I don't know what will happen with my job if I don't pass!

OH MY GOSH - THAT REALLY MAKES ME FEEL BETTER... or more hopeful at least! I took it yesterday - went to 265 and I can't stop crying about it. I just posted a thread "went to 265 - freaking out here..." good luck to you and I am soooo happy for you! I hope the same happens to me....

thanks so much for your words of wisdom and advice - I really need a massage! I'll try to relax - good luck to you!

Hey guys - I took the NCLEX yesterday and now I am freaking out. Here is my hx: I graduated last Dec, and ALL MY TEACHERS said to take the test early - there was a better chance for me to pass. So I studied for hours on end since graduation. AND plus, ok, I am an excellent student. I thought that all my studying was just going to be review (although throughout my "review" I was like, "I studied THAT before????). But I went into it feeling blah, but confident enough. I took the test yesterday and it passed 75, then 100, then 150... and i couldn't believe it...oh my goodness - IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO 265! Now I am freaking out. I was sure on half of them, and the other half of those questions I didn't know. And honestly guys, I studied like 5,000 questions from various books/CD roms/etc. I don't know how much more I could've done. PLEASE give me some positive feedback. I am feeling really down and lost and just really sad right now. I am trying to relax and forget about it but I really can't stop crying. I mean, does it mean I failed? Am I one of those that "do well in school but fail the NCLEX???" Any success stories out there to keep my spirits up??? Thanks for reading and I wish you all the best in work, love, and life....

oh my gosh, I just wrote the same thing - but I'm worse - I WENT TO 265! Oh my gosh I am freaking out too - I wish you all the best, I guess we just need to relax. I must say I am really proud of you for getting through all of this while being pregnant - you will be a SUPER MOM/NURSE!!!!!
