Took My NCLEX (7-14)

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

*WHEW* That's all I can say, so glad it's over! I know I could sit here and tell you how I feel about it, but it's the exact same stuff that everyone else has posted!! Even after reading people post "I feel like I failed, I just know I failed!", and then 2 days later saying "I PASSED!" ..... even though I know that, I still feel like I failed the dang thing!

I got about 9 hours of sleep last night, slept great. Woke up and had a nice big brunch. Got to the testing center an hour early and wasn't even really nervous, I was just ready to go take the test. I thought I was doing pretty well at first ..... wasn't too bad, was getting harder and I was getting priority questions/select all that apply ...... I thought for sure it'd shut off at 75 (I was hoping it would), but nope. It didn't shut off until about 187 or 188 :rolleyes: I was just so glad it was finally over! After it kept going I thought for sure I was in for the whole 265. It just kept going and going, a couple times I got really anxious and almost started crying, but I just closed my eyes and made myself focus, said a little prayer and continued with it.

I've read SO MANY people on here (the majority) post about getting 75. But I know I can still pass with 188, so I'm not giving up hope yet.

First thing I said when I got home was *man I need a margarita!!* :chuckle So we went out to dinner and I'm just trying to relax and enjoy the fact that it's over.

CONGRATS to both of you !!! WELL DONE !!! :Melody: :balloons: :Melody:

Thank you Jen! Thank you for all your encouragement. I know you'll do just fine on the 26th!

Thanks for all the encouragemnet Rain. My best friend from nursing school took hers on the 12th and passed. This made me feel a lot better, because er we studied together and got almost exactly the same scores. I actually scored significantly higher on the ATI predictor than her and have prepared/studied much more than she diid. I'm just tired of waiting now, I feel ready now and wsh I could go ad take it today.

So, now that it's over with for you and you passed tell me t wasn't that bad!! He He!

Thank you Jennifer, jnette and pie!! :)

Jen, I know you will do just great, you've been studying a lot! And really, it wasn't that bad! You know what the worst thing for me was? Not knowing how many questions I would get. The mistake I made was going into it thinking I would get 75-100, and that I'd be done in no more than 2 hours. So when the questions kept coming and I looked at the clock and realized I had been there for over 3 hours, I kinda got nervous and almost started crying! That was the worst part .... I just had to focus and take each question at a time. I didn't really think the questions were extremely hard .... everyone says they're totally different than all the review questions, but I thought some of them were worded very similar and had some of the same content (I only used Saunders and Mosby CAT, and just one test from Kaplan). Sure they were hard because sometimes it was really hard to pick between 2 really good answers, but you just use your best judgement and think about everything you know and look at what the question is asking. Also, I think having a positive attitude was extremely important! I went into the test center and I wasn't even nervous really. I was, like you said, just tired of waiting and was ready to take it! You will be just fine :)

Cheryl, congratulations to YOU!
