I need to let all nurses who are preparing for the NCLEX RN BOARDS, that PLEASE don't believe people when they say if you answer all 265 you will probably FAIL!!! I am hear to tell the world it is so not true. I just took my boards and it was bad enough that I had to do the WHOLE 6 hours. My anxiety was beyond the legal limit!! I felt I was going to pass out right at the computer. Everyone at the testing site was finish way before me. So I really felt the pressure. I was the ONLY ONE LEFT AT THE TESTING SITE!! UGH!! I left and walked to my car literally in tears. I cried like a baby. I studied so hard. Did the Kaplan review with ALL those Qbank & Test Trainer Questions. I was just overloaded. Nursing school alone was overwhelming but this took the cake!! I went home feeling so low and stressed out. I felt so sick to my stomach.Then waiting the 48 hours for the quick results was torture.. I prayed & prayed!! My faith has definitely carried me through out my life.. So I just kept positive..So the day I was able to get my results, I was at work..My hands was shaking so bad I couldn't even put in my info for the quick results.. Once I did and saw I PASSED!! I started screaming & crying at work. My coworkers didn't know what was going on , but when they realized I passed they cried with me because they saw the hard work I put towards being a RN.. I just praised GOD!!! So I am here to tell the world "265 question is not a bad thing".. This was my 1st try on the Boards and I Passed!! So if you believe & stay true to yourself, You will pass.. Myself, personally MY FAITH carried to the finish line of that HORRIBLE TEST!! I still can't believe I am a RN now!! So GOD BLESS to those preparing to take the NCLEX!! Keep the FAITH!!
The Scripture that I read to keep me going : Matthew 7 Verse 7-12!! ASK,SEEK,RECEIVETH!!!!!

I'm glad you were able to seek encouragement through my testimony. ..GOD is Good!! Believing is yourself is important. You worked hard throughout nsg school. .So u can do it. Don't think negative if u have to do like me, the entire test..But remember, you must answer the very last question right!! GOD BLESS!!
Thank you so much..I have to get use to being called RN..lol..

This was a great testimony shell! I also had all 265 and completed in a little over 5 hours. I agree with you that getting the entire set of questions is not automatically a bad thing cause I passed as well. I want people to know that the most important thing is to believe in yourself and to stay relaxed and calm through the exam. Anxiety in overwhelming amounts can hinder you but a little anxiety can help keep you on your toes. I think if people stop comparing themselves to other people then they will be a lot more relaxed about the exam. To all those who still have to take the exam, keep your head up and believe in YOU!
Thank you..And your so right alot of the anxiety comes from listening to what other people say..So I felt I had to share my story because I was definitely one those people who listen to those myth's.. If my testimony can help anyone, then I've done my job..
