Specializes in none, still looking.

I fainted briefly at home after the test, I have never felt so weird in a while, however, I passed with 75, keep the faith!!!:idea:

Try to go on an inexpensive vacation, it really does help to leave the situation where you studied.

Daretocare, I also took NCLEX today. It IS a very scary feeling. In a way I feel like I did well but there is also doubt. My computer stopped at 75 questions (alot of priority, teaching, about 6 or 7 multiple mutiples) and I began to have palpitations. The wait is going to be agonizing!!!

I'm right there with you both! I took the NCLEX today and got 75 questions. I am so worried. I looked up a couple and got some wrong so I had to stop or I think I might have fainted. GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US!!

I KNOW the FEELING!

I took mine last week, stopped at 75 and I felt thats it?

Then the night of my exam, I realized 1 mistake, the following day, another mistake, and palpitations are getting worse as days go by!!!

I couldnt take it anymore, logged on to the website, and paid for the quick results....

Status: Pass

Thank God!

So have faith...

Good Luck to all!!!!

I took mine last Thursday and I was freaking out. My test shut off at 75 questions and I had NO CLUE how I was doing because the first question seemed at hard as the 2nd and the 3rd and I didn't know if they were getting harder or if I was still on easy questions. I had no idea. I was so numb and freaked out afterwards but oddly relieved that it was ALL over.

What gave me a load of comfort is that more than 80% of people pass the NCLEX on their first try and the statistics are high for people who's tests shut off at 75 questions. Additionally what gave me the greatest relief was to find out that priority, medication and infection control questions are Tier 3 questions (the harder ones) and at least 50-70% of my test was that, so all along I was testing with the harder questions, so I HAD to of been getting them right.

With the test shutting off at 75 questions, you have to be passing or doing so absolutely horrible (which isn't happening if you're getting infection control/medication/priority/delegation questions) that the test knows that even if it gave you all 265 questions, you'd fail it anyway.

So really the statistics are on YOUR side with that knowledge!

P.S. I found out on Saturday I passed my NCELX. :nurse:

I also got the "blue screen of death" after 75 questions. I felt very focused while taking the test and wasn't anxious or stressed, but it was still very unsettling. It sucks, but we'll have to live through it. I am age 54, and this is very hard on the system, believe me!

Best,
