Sat my NCLEX-RN today

[Kimmi_1993]

So I took my NCLEX Exam today and frankly I just need to vent because nobody understands what I’m doing through. So I my exam cut off at 85 questions. I got approximately 23 select all that apply, 3 drag and drop, 1 picture, and about 4 calculations.. I honestly don’t know how I did but I can feel it in my bones that I failed that exam. It wasn’t hard to be honest but I think I was too nervous to think through the questions and relax. The questions were so tricky that almost every questions had two possible answers. I know it’s too late now and it makes no sense dwelling on it but honestly I just needed to write how I am feeling. Sigh, I need all the prayers I can get. Also, I can’t do the Pearson’s view trick because for some reason I wasn’t able to register online I had to call them. So here I am a bundle of nerves, worrying my self into a tailspin.

Thank you! I am trying to remain positive and not have fear. Yes that is soo true! I really didn’t expect that finding a job will be soo draining. Mainly LTC being available but working there as a new grad doesn’t give you any hospital experience when you try to transfer. I have a job offer at a hospital upstate NY. I really don’t want to go up there because I’d have to pay rent when I live freely at home, plus they start you off very low $25-26/hr. But again the cost of living up there is low as well as tax so I guess it balances off. If I don’t get anything then I’d take it, work for a year and apply in the city.

I honestly don’t think that LTC is the best start for me. There’s not much there and someone advised me that getting a job there isn’t the best move at the beginning of my career. I was also offered a job upstate New York. The starting salary is a little daunting plus I don’t know what it is like up there. I’m a little worried.

I have two friends that starting off up there and is still working there. They both want me to come there. Their explanation of the place I mean it’s not like NY NY but it’s doable. Plus you can get to go back and forth. Thinking of the long term effect it’s worth it.

Rent wise it’s like $500-700 depending on where you choose to leave and if you have a roommate.

Just to update you everyone. I passed, paid for the quick results this morning and it said I passed!!! I’m so relieved!! This website has helped me tremendously. My name hasn’t been put up on my state BON, so I’m waiting for that. Does anyone have experience with New York BON, how long did it take them to put your name on the website? I’m so happy and relieved! If anyone wants to ask me any questions feel free.

It took about 2 weeks. I recieved my certificate before my name was posted.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

They say if you walk away feeling like you failed then you probably passed. ??
