okay, just need some advice. took the nclex, shut off maybe 75-85, i stopped looking at 66, but it shut off shortly thereafter. here's the problem...i felt like i was getting a lot of easy questions (not easy b/c i studied so hard and knew the content, but easy like level I questions; what are the s/s, risk factors, s/e of meds). SO i'm thinking that b/c of my low level questions, i failed. i don't think i can bring myself to do the pearson-vue 'trick' b/c i'm not ready to see that i failed. anything feedback wise would be helpful. i feel pretty hollow inside. ugh

I wouldn't make any plans to study again until the official results are known. Instead, think in a positive manner and make a list of the prospective employers and put them in the order you will apply for your first new job. Good luck.

Definitely wait for results before you start planning anything. You could easily have passed

Good luck

Frankly, I am the opposite of the other posters. I find it helps to "plan for the worst" while I hope for the best. While there is still hope, I have frame of mind to get started half-heartedly to plan what happens if things go wrong. If they actually do go badly, then I get a boost from those initial sketchy plans I have made. I have a starting point that will help me pick myself up and move forward. If they go well, I don't need the plans ... but having them didn't hurt anything.

Good luck to you ... either way.
