75 questions on NCLEX-RN

I just finished taking the NCLEX-RN. My exam stopped at 75 questions. Either I passed with flying colors or failed tremendously. I am so nervous. This is going to be a long 48 hrs. :uhoh3:

I sat for boards back when it was scored and given twice a year over two days and took 6-8 weeks to get results back. I completed the exams before the time expired, and as I waited outside the auditorium for my friends to emerge, there were dozens of people standing around anxiously asking each other what they answered for this question or the other. When I was approached and questioned about my responses, I asked them, 'what difference does it make'? The test was over. For better or worse, there wasn't a damned thing I could do about it. I either had a passing score, or I'd be taking it again. Second-guessing and beating myself up over it wasn't going to change the outcome.

I understand you're anxious to find out if you passed. But don't let it consume you. Go out and enjoy the weekend. Have some fun.

Good luck.

My computer shut off at 79! just shut off goodbye! I took my exams with 2 friends, I was &*^%%ing my pants as I waited for them. We were one of the very first to take the "new computerized exam" No one knew what to expect,so I thought for sure I was doomed. One friend came out after 181 and the other friend went all the way to the end. I never smoked so many cigarettes(reformed smoker now) in my life waiting for the last friend to come out. TWO weeks later we all our our results . I stared at that envelope for 2 days before I finally had the guts to open it .And I passed.

Wow, good luck on that, I hope you passed. I remember when I took my boards on a friday and I had my results on tuesday, and started orienting thursday. Three excruciating days though. I just can't imagine how long you had to wait before. Thanks to technology advance.
