Just wanted to Thank everyone for all the nice words. I am very excited to have passed (Finally!) and am eager to start work. I work in Pediatrics... love it. Will love it even more now that I'm an RN!!! Again, thanks...

In case anybody cared... I did end up passing the NCLEX...

Hello all, I am new to this site, but have found comfort in the kind people I've read... I graduated nursing school in May 2004 and took boards for the 1st time in June, got 75 questions and thought I was good to go. Well, apparently I sucked so bad, they put me out of my misery-and theirs. Since then, I have taken it in Sept, Nov, and just yesterday. All three times I've all maximum amount of questions, well, except in Sept, I ran out of time! But they extended the time to 6 hours just for me!! LOL. Anyway, I walked in there yesterday feeling very confident--I mean, I've been there 3 times before I should be a pro by now, right?! I had positive thoughts the whole time and kept telling myself that I was going to be rewarded in the end. Well, of course I had 265 again, but didn't get distracted by that at all...planned on doing that anyway. But as I was driving home I kept thinking of some of the questions I had... I had some topics pop up like 3 or four times--same question just reworded. What does that mean? I was thinking I must have gotten it wrong the 1st time, so I picked a different answer the next time. Well, when I looked up the info when I got home, my 1st answer was right and I am angry that the stupid test made me 2nd guess myself. Why would the test ask me the same question pretty much if I had already gotten it right?! Is it Trying to fail me?? Has this happened to anyone else on their exam? So at this point, I am thinking I failed it for the 4th time and I need to pick a new career...If anyone has encouraging words or any kind of insight at all, please share. Thanks!
