Shut off at 75

Published

Hi all,

I took NCLEX-RN this morning. I have to say that people's responses here are remarkably consistent. Like almost everyone else I have no clue how I did. There were almost always two answers that I had to choose (guess?) between. Studying specific content isn't enough because it's what you do with the content that matters. All I can do is throw up my hands and wait.

I had 6-7 "choose all that apply" questions; I couldn't believe it. I don't usually do well on them. I had a lot of prioritizing questions and lots of teaching questions- not just patient teaching, but "the nurse is planning a workshop on X, what information should she include" kind of questions. It seems that there is very little that I can even look up to see if I was "right" because in some cases the choice was between two right answers but the question said select the BEST or the MOST or the FIRST.

I handle my anxiety by obsessively reading everything ever written by anyone who took the NCLEX on these boards- lol.

I just took my test today & like you, I had a lot of select all that apply, LOTS of prioritizing, & ones about teaching. I also handle my anxiety by reading every post regarding NCLEX on this site!

Three of us all went and we all shut off at 75 questions.....hoping that's a good sign since we all did well in school and all did well on HESI. I keep obsessing over stupid mistakes I think I made. Our state does not have the 'quick results' either, but most people get their results within a week or two. So I am just waiting and like others, frantically reading anything I can get a hold of about NCLEX in hopes it will make me feel better!!

Good luck to all of you!:nurse:

WOW, so many people with only 75 questions and lots of check all that applies, it's starting to scare me now! I take my NCLEXRN on July 8th! I am starting to freak out a little now, I haven't been too worried, so I haven't studied much (probly not a good thing), but I just keep thinking that the NCLEXPN was easy and I had close the minimum questions

:balloons: :balloons: Congradulations I passed mine on this last Monday... I felt as everyone else did...but by that afternoon I found out that I had passed......what a relief.....again congradulations....fellow RN.........THRESSA

I know how you both feel...I was there yesterday, but you will get through this and you will pass. I too felt like I failed when I took my test yesterday but I found out at 8am today that I passed and you will to!!!

Mine cut off at 75 and I had several 'check all that apply' questions, lots of prioritization questions, quite a few 'disaster drill' questions, no math. Both of my friends who went yesterday had gtts/min fill-in-the-blank, but I didn't. I passed my NCLEX-PN on the first try with the minimum questions (85), and after that test I felt like I had surely failed, which I didn't. So I'm trying to keep that in perspective, remembering how I felt after LPN boards and knowing that I passed. I just hate waiting....... I'm ready to go to work!
