So confused.......

[JR816]

I just don't understand. I took the NCLEX on Tuesday morning. Got 75 questions, walked out thinking that the test was fair and that all of the hard work that I put into it was worthwhile. I was confident that I passed. I did the Kaplan review and scored within their passing range. I am talking about hundreds of questions. Months of preparation. I just don't understand. I had good grades in school. How on god's green earth did I not pass. I am so hurt and confused. I have been through some rough times in the past but this feeling in my gut is just so empty and sad. I am so embaressed. And now I lost my GN postition. How could this of happened????

This does not reflect how you are as a person. I can understand how you felt, you put so much energy into this exam, which, I am sure was much different than what you ever would have expected to see. I think you should give yourself a few weeks to grieve and unwind; then think of a new study plan and go for it. I wish you the best of luck next time!

Thank you everyone for the words of encouragment. I am still in a state of amazement. Should I stick with Kaplan or try Saunders'??? I have no clue....................

Saunder's is the best on the market. Also, look into Suzanne's study plan. You'll find the details on that posted as a sticky at the top of this forum. Good luck to you!
