3rd time testing and only 75 questions

Published

This is my 3rd time to take the NCLEX, first time I had 105 questions, 2nd time 265 and this last time 75 questions. Thats a big difference and so I'm freaking out. Everyone that I know that had the 75 questions passed. but I know there is always that 1% chance... I'm too afraid to try the pearson trick because I want this so bad and I don't want to be disappointed. Blah. To make things better I was working L and D as an LPN, my boss made me move to a med surg floor to get experience, and it just sucks. I know that if I don't pass I'm going to have to quit and find a new job. I had my first panic attack today working and I just can't live like this... UGH I dont understand after going through how many ever years of nursing school we have to take this dang test! I don't know why anyone would want to be a nurse after this.

Thanks for letting me vent!

Just wait for the results and whatever it is I'm sure that you did your part and I'm hoping that you passed. :nuke:

Relax while you wait for your results. You will have plenty of time to react when you find out how you did. Good luck.
