I do know how you feel. My mom and aunt are both nurses and they both passed their first time ( my mom with 70 questions!!!). I would just keeping praying and stay positive. Most people feel that they failed when they first take the exam.
Please keep your chin up :wink2:

I felt EXACTLY the same way you did 2 nights ago. My test stopped at 75 and I felt as if I only answered a few questions correctly. But I found out today that I PASSED!! These past two days have been increadibly stressful for me. I worked a 12 hour shift in acute last night and was only able to sleep about 2 hours today because I was so nervous and was SO SURE that I had failed. Now I'm on cloud 9. I know that no matter how many people tell you not to worry, it is no help. Until you see the word "PASS" you will not feel any better. Good luck to you, I'm sure you did fine. It seems that most people who hit 75 pass.

:typinggrc119,
i took my test on tuesday and i too stopped at 75 questions.
when i got to 75 i was hoping it would go further so that i can make up anything that i thought i missed but..........poof! it shut off!
my jaw dropped! i was like, no way! that's it! omgosh!
i walked out of the building like a zombie not knowing what hit me!
yes, grc119.....it was a very very hard test!
but my dear no point of thinking about it! it's done and over with!
now the waiting begins!
depending what state you are in, you can get your results faster and get it over with and know your results.
but for me in california i have to wait approx 5 days or so!
i was ok after the test and yesterday and tried my best ignoring the thought that i took it.
but now that its going to be the 3rd day and the waiting is killing me now.
hang in there grc119.......hang in there!
just stay positive & have a lot of faith in yourself!

Do not think that you did not pass, until you get your results, you need to think positive.
We get so many here that know for a fact that they did not pass, but they never even got their resullts.
85% pass the first time and everyone that has tested here thinks that it was the worst exam of their life.
Please wait until you get your results before you assume the worst.
Best of luck to you.
thanks to all of u for the encouragement, but yea it is hard, and i wont be happy till i passed. Thanks for sharing your stories with me, but i am certain i failed, the questions are slowly coming back to me, and everyone i think about i got wrong *sigh*..good luck to those of u waiting your results
