Scared. Help ease my mind. Just a little

Published

Hi, well I took my test 6/27/16 for the 4th time. I'm so nervous I'm having melt downs. I've felt confident, then nervous, to being really sad and crying to the I don't care attitude. I'm just a flood of emotions. I'm in Cleveland Ohio. So I guess it takes48 hrs to get the results. I keep checking but of course it still says " eligible to test" ... I'm just very nervous n scared..... I know I really tried my best . I'm scared that my best wasn't enough which means I'm not cut out to be a nurse although it's all I ever wanted.......... OK so my test cut off at 192. I ran out of time. I had about 33 select all that apply 2 exhibit question n 2 calculations. And like 3 emergent questions. My test was majority priority and patient teaching and the nurse is teaching a class about so what should she include type of questions. A few questions I kept getting were about mycoplasma pneumonia n I feel really stupid because I've never heard of that type pneumonia...... But I'm more scared because they say if you run out of time they take your last 60 questions and you can't miss any or you fail...... OMG I'm sure I missed some........ I need a prayer I think.......

Breathe! It's not that you have to get the last 60 correct, it's that the last 60 questions need to be above the passing standard. It's normal to feel like you missed a lot as the NCLEX throws questions at you until you're answering them correctly only 50% of the time. You definitely gave it your best; now, take the next 48 hours to destress, relax, and get your mind off anything nursing related!

Oh. I have of course heard of walking pneumonia, but never heard it used as mycoplasma pneumonia. The definition I got from Google still kind of confused me. But Thankyou for simplifying it for me. Now I have a better understanding

Respectfully, ANY pneumonia can be 'walking pneumonia'. It just means you're too stubborn to give in to being sick!
