I passed! And yes, the exhibit questions aren't too bad if you read all of the info. Best of luck!

I passed! Thank you for all your kind words :)

This made me smile :)

ME!! I took the NCLEX yesterday afternoon. When the computer shut off at 75 questions I was torn between crying, throwing up, or passing out. I'm still not sure how I made it out of the testing center to my car- I think I had blacked out at that point. I was praying the computer would not shut off at 75 questions because I knew I was failing and I wanted more time to prove my ability- I swear I only got a handful of the 75 questions correct. The test from start to finish took me just under an hour- the BIGGEST, most IMPORTANT test of my LIFE took me less than an hour! WHAT?! I had two drag and drop questions, three cardiac strips, two exhibits, one picture, NO audio, NO math, a few pharm questions, and at least 30 SATA. I realize that fifteen of the 75 questions are just practice questions and don't count, but I honestly feel like I failed. The questions were so difficult and I feel like the important topics that were covered in my 4 years of school, in the week long review course I took, and thousands of practice questions I did were no where to be found on the exam. I was an above average student in school, which I know doesn't count for much when it comes to the NCLEX, but all of the comprehensive ATI predictors I took this year said I had a 99% chance of passing the NCLEX. I have done the Pearson Vue "trick" about a dozen times now (don't judge!) and have gotten the "good" message each time, both before 24 hours after taking the exam and 24 hours after taking the exam. I have been obsessively refreshing my pending" license page on the MA BON website as well- even though I know they closed at 5pm! I'm still clinging to hope that I passed while not trying to get my hopes up at the same time. What's bumming me out the most is that another girl from my school who took the NCLEX at the same as I did yesterday already found out she passed, I'm assuming from the MA BON website. I'm pretty sure she finished after I did so I'm afraid I really did fail, even though they could have updated her license right before they closed at 5pm. EEK!

I'm so happy I'm not the only one who is a nervous wreck right now! I also took the NCLEX yesterday afternoon.

I'm supposed to start my job in the end of July, which I won't be able to do if I failed because MA requires you to wait 45 days until you are allowed to retake the NCLEX. I'm a firm believer that everything happens for a reason and that God has a plan for each of us... I'm just a wreck and want to know either way. Congrats to everyone who has already passed the NCLEX!
