Took the test last month and at times, it still does not seem real, that I have actually passed. :lol2:

I am an internat. graduate and graduated Nursing school in 1987. I've decided to get my RN license here in the US and it took me over 2 years of hard work to be successful. Many roadblocks, lots of hard work and the support from my family and friends. But I did not give up and it paid off in the end.

The NCLEX was not was I've expected and I was so sure that I had failed.I was very nervous and felt that I was guessing more, than " knowing" the answer. No math, several Meds., lots of infection control. Computer

shut off @ 75 questions and I was sick to my stomach. This cannot be happening, I wanted more questions to prove that I could pass, but no, the computer shut off.!!!! :cry:

I was telling everybody, that I am sure that I had failed the test and that I might as well start to register to re-test. The longest 2 days in history, to wait for results!!!! When I went to the quick results on Sunday morning, I was so nervous and felt like throwing up before clicking the " next" button. But it said passed!!!!

A weight was lifted of my chest, I was so relieved. Unbelievable.

If I can do it at my age , after graduating Nursing school in '87, anybody can!!!! I did the Saunders review book, Nclex 4000 questions. I did 150 - 200 questions every day and studied every day for 4 weeks.

Good luck everybody. and thank you,:redbeathe for all the postings. It helped so much to read about people who are in the same situation.
