75 Questions

Published

Specializes in OR.

I just took the NCLEX Wednesday morning and I had the worst feeling in the world going into the test. As I was going through the questions, it got even worse. I felt like I was getting all of them wrong. By question 60, I just knew that, if it shut off at 75, I was guaranteed a failure. After all, I know a girl who took it before me and it took her 209 questions to pass and she seems so much smarter than me.

When the computer shut off at 75, I freaked out. I couldn't believe I had let myself go into it feeling so unprepared, even though I did study quite a bit. I have been telling everyone that I failed it because, in my mind, there was no way I passed. Everyone I've told says that I did pass and that it is common to feel the way I do about it. It really bothered me because that would have made it so much worse to report back to them on Monday that I really did fail it like I thought I did. Well, after checking the board website probably 5 times between last night and this morning, I am very proud to say that I was wrong and that I am officially an RN!:D I don't think I have ever been so excited about anything in my life!

I felt the same way. Mine cut off at 75 and I was so upset. I also took it on the Wednesday, July 2 and was told I had to wait till Monday to find out. When did they tell your results was at the time you sat to take the exam? I am so nervous I keep telling myself that I am a RN!!!!!!!!!!

You should feel like a great burden is off is off of your shoulders:::: GO and CELEBRATE:yeah:

My license information was posted on my state board's website this morning. It was a huge relief seeing that too because I was so scared, thinking I would have to find another job. I'm very excited to know I won't have to do that.

I've been blanking out a little bit about my test (probably because it was so stressful). It seemed like I had a lot about prioritization, pharm, and I don't really remember what else stuck out at me. It seemed like I had a lot of those ones where you have to check multiple answers though, and I hate those. Whenever I practiced them, I always missed most of them.

People were telling me that, whenever it cuts you off at 75, that's usually a good sign. I hope you find out your results soon, Blessone. Good luck!
