Took the boards today.... :-(

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I feel shell shocked. I took the RN boards today...I had 221 questions (4 hours), mostly priority, teaching and delegation. I had some that I felt were way too easy and those freaked me out. I had only 2 math and about 7 SATA. Anyway....I'm just spent, depressed and just feel down right crappy. I'm almost certain I failed... :crying2: Does anyone pass with these kind of numbers? I felt prepared, as prepared as one can be anyway. I always did well in school, I don't get it...this is torture.

Words of encouragement would be great, because right now it doesn't feel very promising. Thanks for listening. :o

First, don't count yourself out. People pass with any amount of questions, a specific amount does not mean you failed. So perk up and have some fun you've earned it. If it turns out you didn't pass, it's not the end of the world as much at it feels that way. I took it 3 times with 265 questions twice before I passed.

Thank you..I know the number doesn't really matter, but somewhere in my heart I feel like I didn't do my best. My nerves got the better of me and by questions 200 I thought I might have a full blown panic attack in my chair! My heart was pounding, my palms were sweaty and I just couldn't think straight anymore.

My son was dx with ALL leukemia in my last sem. of nursing school and I feel because of school, new job, orientation and studying for this test I haven't been able to give him the time he deserves. I wanted more than anything to have this finished...sigh. Ironically my very last question before the computer shut off reminded me VERY much of him...I hope that was a good sign. Anyway....thanks for your encouragement....it's a waiting game now.

Thank you...it has been a really rough road and I wish more than anything that I would pass so that I may move on now. I keep checking the pearson vue site and it only says my results aren't ready. I wish they'd hurry already. :uhoh3: I feel I let me anxiety take over and that makes me more upset than anything else. I'm sure lots of people here can understand that. Hopefully by tomorrow I will know for certain....we'll see. :bugeyes:

Much luck to you. I remember when I took mine and thought I had failed because it was only 75 questions and they all seemed crazy to me. At the end, I found out I passed.

This exam is made to pick at your brain.

Keeping my fingers crossed.
