I passed :)

So if it didn't say pending on it. What did it say on there? Did it just disappear??

Hi WANNAbeRN15 - Did you find out if you passed? I took my NCLEX for the 2nd time on Friday at 2pm. Everyone says I'm probably going to hear by tomorrow (Tuesday). I'm really nervous. I'm too afraid to do the PVT. My Breeze application as also disappeared. I've heard others who have also taken the exam a 2nd time their application disappeared too and they still passed. I was wondering if thats what happened to you. Thanks

Hey everyone. This is my 2nd time taking the NCLEX and I took it on a Friday. My application somehow disappeared the following day and I started to freak out. I know that the BRN is closed on Sunday so I waited till Monday to see if my name was on the breeze website and it wasn't. I called my cousin who also had to retake the NCLEX the 2nd time and she said her application disappeared too the following day on the breeze website. She took hers on a Wednesday and her application disappeared on a Thursday. She got no news on Friday. But then Saturday morning at 8:30am her name showed up and she had her license! So I'm freaking out because I took my exam on a Friday. My application disappeared the following day. Sunday, the BRN is closed. Monday - no status. And everyone is saying I need to wait until tomorrow or Wednesday to see if I passed. Everyone... please, I request your prayers. My anxiety is off the roof!! I realized that for 2nd time NCLEX takers... It's different when your application disappears. When u first take your exam the first time, if it disappears it means u failed. But when U retake the exam, it looks like according to my cousin's experience, her license showed up 3 days later even when her application was gone! Any similar stories?

What did you do differently between the first, second, and third time?

Hi everyone, This is my 2nd attempt at taking the NCLEX. The first time, I barely studied. I touched a little bit of Kaplan and Uworld but didn't study as much as I should have. I didn't review any content and honestly, I just didn't try. People were saying the NCLEX was easy and I thought I could be one of those people that can pass on the first try with my fresh-out-of-school nursing knowledge. I was SO WRONG. For 1.5 months I studied every single day doing 75 questions from Uworld completing the whole program for 1 month, doing Nurselabs.com NCLEX questions, NCSBN questions and content review from Kaplan book & ATI comprehensive review book. I studied super hard and every day I studied 4-6 hours. The last 2 weeks before my exam, I studied almost 10+ hours every other day making sure I reviewed everything. Took the NCLEX today feeling nervous but knowing I studied really hard and hopefully my efforts would shine. As I went through the NCLEX I got maybe 8-10 SATA (some easy and some hard), a bunch of EKG strips, mental health questions, pharm questions, some peds/OB, and towards the end, a bunch of priority and delegation questions. I felt that there was not more of one subject on my exam. It was definitely all comprehensive. I was hoping to take the test all the way to 265 because other friends of mine did U-WORLD and they all took the exam to 265 questions and passed. I thought that may be me too. So when it shut off around 130+ I basically turned white. I walked out of the exam feeling very in-between. I wasn't 100% confident but I also don't feel terrible about it. Honestly, if I failed... I would kind of be really surprised. I put in a lot of hard work this time around. If I really was not answering correctly, I would have gotten more questions, right? I took the California NCLEX-RN exam so there are no quick results here. I'm not a fan of the Pearson Vue trick considering it took my friend's money too when she tried to find out if she passed or not. I know the rumors that the number of questions don't matter. I have a classmate that failed at 110 and another one that failed at 175 on their first try. I don't know exactly how I feel about the exam. There were for sure a handful of questions I feel that I did get correct. Im really good at delegation and priority questions so I feel like I got that on lock. Anybody have a similar experience and passed?

I am most certain I did not pass the NCLEX. I can already count in my head 6 to 7 questions I know I answered absolutely wrong. I feel like I blanked and there were no obvious correct answers. I looked up answers from my Nclex and made some major dumb mistakes.. I had maybe around 7-10 Select all apply, 1 easy med math, 2 nutrition questions, peds, ob and a bunch of weird diagnostic testsi could not even pronounce!! I totally guessed a lot I can't sleep, I'm sick to my stomach and I absolutely feel like ****. I'm not exaggerating, I know I failed. I've literally been crying, not eating, and not sleeping. I took my test March 24 on Thursday at 2pm and it is now 8am Saturday morning. No sign of my name on breeze and I'm terrified to know the truth that I failed and do the Pvt. The reason why I think I failed is because I know I could've studied more. I had to retake my nursing school exit exam twice after failing the first one by 1% off (2 questions) and remediate for nine weeks after. I studied the second time around so hard and reread all of my ATI books and the VATI greenlight my school provided for free. That's why I felt so confident that all I really needed was review before I took the nclex. I took the NCLEX exactly 9 weeks after I graduated and I felt like i knew nothing!!!! It's so weird how the computer knows where you are weak in because I kept getting pediatric questions and crazy diagnostic tests that Ive totally forgotten like - Retrograde endoscopic pancreaticduodenumyography, electric myography and I totally didn't know what foods stomatitis clients can eat.Honestly I feel like I didn't pass... It was hard and I didn't remember a lot of pediatrics and it tested me on that. I was certain that when the computer shut off at 77 I knew I failed and I was so embarrassed I couldn't even look at the employees there at Pearson center. I was only certain of maybe 3 to 4 questions. The only review i did was ati, few uworld/Kaplan questions and nurselabs... I'm SOOO nervous... I can puke. Ive been nonstop reading of peoples experience of taking the NCLEX and the computer shutting off around near 75-80 questions and I'm not trying to be pessimistic but I absolutely felt like... I didn't know anything, I doubted every initial answer, kept changing answers and finished 77-78 questions in around 1.5 hrs. At one point I almost felt like I started guessing.. It seems like everything that I studied or learned in nursing school couldn't have help me on that test and I know that I don't have very good test taking strategies. My anxiety was heightened and I have the worst confidence after failing my exit exam of nursing school the first time. I redeemed myself and pushed through and honestly, the exit exam at my school is geared to be harder than the NCLEX. I had a 96% probability chance of passing my Nclex for the first time according to my predictor. I'm not an A student but I really do try and do my best. I just feel like maybe I failed miserably and I was hoping to take the full 265 questions... Any advice guys?! I'm so anxious and defeated. It's been a very long journey for me and have been through plenty of ups and down in nursing school.. I just hope that 77-78 questions didn't mean I royally messed up.
