I took my NCLEX today at 800 am today. I came to this exam not 100% certain I was fully prepared. I just knew I had waited too long to take the exam and it was time to go. I think I expected too much of myself. I heard stories from friends that they all passed with 75 q so I expected nothing less from myself. In the beginning I thought that the test was ok and that Kaplan had prepared me well. At q75 I was prepared to leave the center because I felt too assure of myself. I saw q76 and my heart just drop. I didn't understand. I wanted a bat or anything to break down my computer. I knew I was in this for the LONG haul. Raised my hand and had to go eat a snack b/c I was feeling hypoglycemic. Went to the bathroom and did a little prayer. I said that God will never leave me and I asked for his assistance till the end. I had faith. At the same time I was scared. Thoughts ran into my mind of what might happen if I didn't do well on this exam. Came question 150 and I wanted someone to either shoot me or just for my computer to explode. I felt frustrated and guilty for not studying enough. I thought I didn't study enough. If I knew the topic I couldn't find the answer. And vice versa. I wanted the answer choice "d" - I don't know. There we procedures I thought were made up. Half of the exam seemed as though it was written in Chinese. A lot of the questions were written as so: this patients undergoing exam creatksdjfpat, what do you expect to do? I felt that this exam was my battle against meds, the one thing I slacked off. What the heck is ldkfjldjf and sldkjflkdjf? Nclex is torturous.
I felt hurtful that I made my family member drive in the wee dark night to this center. For what? Failure. I do not wish upon this feeling on anyone. Driving home, I was mortally depressed. Looked out the windowed and whispered that I still had faith and God will be with me. Prior to the exam, I told myself that I would not do the "pearsonvue trick" because I wanted to linger on the hopes that I might pass. Well......forget that. Temptation and anxiety got me doing the trick. Did all the procedure and popped this:
"Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time."
I honestly don't know if this tricked works. I question it since I wonder how could I have passed at 165 q with only 4 sata, 2 order and thousand meds and millions of priority q. sorry for the long story. Just venting. Will update. :wink2:
I am so with you miconium. I too had a torture day today with nclex. Did 230+++ actually i don't know the exact number finished in 5 hours. everytime that im reaching 80, 90, 100 and so on. I feel like my world is crushing and i just want to pull the cord of that pc. This feeling is very diff than what i had on my first which we're only 75 and failed. And i also, got all the type of q's name it! multiple choice, tons of sata's, drag and drop, calculations, meds that are from planet pluto or mars,lol;p. Having and seeing those in front of me just making me feel more more unknowledgeable. i can't even apply the trick for meds that kaplan taught us coz it feels like those meds are from no where! Oh well, it's done now! I really felt today that NCLEX-RN is a monster that will eat u alive if u will not be able to answer it right. hahaha i tried the trick today and i got the pop-up so i really hope that it will work for me. Still need 48 hrs for the unofficial results. I hope the trick will work for me too coz i don't wanna see the monster nclex again.
i have a question. I found my name on the BON website but i checked pearsonvue today and status is still " delivery successful". Isn't it suppose to be pass or is it just slow?
