I don't think anyrhing totally prepares you. I just tried to keep cool and do every question as if it was my first. I used what Aunt Marlene said. If the test is still going you are still in the game!

Trick worked for me. I was certain I failed I did all 265 questions but got the good pop up found out last Thursday I passed. I am already registered on the CO board of nursing.

I got 70s 80s 90s and passed nclex! :)

I also did 265 questions on the RN exam. Thought for sure i'd failed. Some of the qus were insanely difficult. I got the good pop up and found out today I passed. :) I'm in Colorado.

So it was worth all the blood sweat and tears over those 265 questions. I am now an RN in the United States as well as the UK. And flipping my ex husband who said I couldn't do it the bird. I had faith and I had God and the determination. My two year break from the job I loved has now come to an end! Roll on many more years of nursing! Ps. The PVT worked for me!

I won't be happy til I see "pass" in writing!!

I also went to a college of 60 something people. Only 9 of us completed the course with honors. I went to college in Scotland UK and graduated in 2007. I just took my nclex to work in the US and am waiting for my results in ummmm about 55 mins.. No that I'm counting!

I did a practice test the day before my test and nothing else. I relaxed the morning of too and headed out for some lunch before going to the test center.

Just wait til she's suctioning trachs and putting NG tubes to drain obstructed patients. Projectile vomiting from esophageal varices and melena. That should be fun. I'm a Registered nurse from the UK. I heard we are more "hands on" there but I haven't started working here yet to be able to compare. I will be really upset if I don't get as much 1 on 1 and personal care time with my patients. I like to know all about them. At he end of the day. I'm the one held accountable.

I also got a BILLION SATA. But then again I did all 265Q. I got every type of question you can imagine!

Good luck!

Thanks so much I will do. I'll keep ya'll posted. I have the good pop up so far. I know everyone is frantic about results but I am a foreign nurse with 5 years experience. I haven't worked in the "love of my life" career in over 2 years. I am out of time to take the test again and will have to reapply with all the steps foreign nurses need to take (CGFNS etc etc) Hoping I pass this one and only time! It was the hardest test of my life! 265Q TOUGH!!

I get my results today I started at around 1pm. Will it be 1pm today or the time I finished?

I used Hurst to study. It's completely different. We don't have "board" exams. We take finals at university and I personally did a 15,000 word portfolio of practice and videoed presentation to get my BsC Hons in Adult Nursing. Also everything from all 4 years of University is counted towards getting your nursing License. Plus your university professors etc have to write you a letter of recommendation to the Nursing and Midwifery Council then they issue you a pin number.

Still getting the good pop up today. I will find out for sure tomorrow. My name is already on the BON of Colorado but it always was because I hold a license in the UK. The status however is "pending" I'm getting obsessed with checking it. Haha. Congrats to you for getting through the 265 questions!!! I know that was not easy!!!

Don't give up. I was a registered nurse for over 5 years in the UK. I haven't practiced in over 2 years now as I had a controlling husband who said I would never be a nurse in the States (don't know why our education is very high) it really ruined my confidence. Anyway I took the NCLEX yesterday with all 265 questions and have the good pop up. Praying it is true. If it's not I am going to go through the entire application process for foreign nurses again. This won't beat me. I can tell you from experience that nursing is the most rewarding career ever and the best nurses are not usually the ones who are great on test questions it takes ALOT more to be a great nurse. Keep going!!!.

I feel your pain. I got the good pop up yesterday after 265 questions!

Hey I took my test yesterday also. 265Q and I was about ready to cry. Hardest thing I've done in my life and I've been an RN in the UK for over 5 years. I got the good pop up. Praying it's true!!!!

I took NCLEX today and had to do all 265 Q it was extremely difficult and felt like crying. I came out feeling like I'd certainly failed. I have done the PVT twice. I'm getting the good pop up so far. I really hope it works!!!!!!

Yes I know that feeling!! Thanks for the encouragement.. I feel like if I do fail it will be marginal. I only have a week to take it in before my ATT runs out. I waited so long. Too much pressure!!

I am scheduled for 2pm tomorrow and I am scared. I've been an RN for 5 years in the UK but I am so scared I won't pass this test! I did Hurst online as the test is a lot different to anything I've ever done before and I was really rusty. I feel like I can't remember anything.. I have taken 3 Qreviews and got 75, 80 and 85 out of 125. I don't think that's good enough??

I'm taking Nclex on Tuesday. I am an RN in the UK with 5 years experience. Studying for this has been hard! It's a lot different than the UK. I'm really scared I will fail :/
