Took the NCLEX, it was horrible!

Published

Well, I knew from reading this board that everyone who takes the NCLEX feels like they failed. I warned my husband. But OMG, I feel like I failed! I felt like I was guessing on 75% of the questions, I just didn't know the answers. There were diseases I didn't remember, prioritizations I wasn't sure about, drugs I couldn't remember, you name it. Hated every minute of it. I had a lot of drugs, some infection control, no math, no OB. No positioning. Definitely the dreaded SATA. One drag and drop. Anyway, I was all prepared to do the Pearson trick when I got home, but I can't, I don't have "Delivery Successful" yet. I'm so frustrated. I can't imagine having to tell my friends, family, and worst of all future employer that I failed.

K, just venting. Thanks for reading! :o

If I was to threw a random guess, i would say that you have PASSED! Most ppl pass on their first try. No need to worry, you will be just fine, and good luck. :)

I take mine tomorrow......I am in knots already. I know they said not to study the day before......what have I done.....I studied allllllllllll flippin day! I did not listen. I read all these threads and got myself into a tizzy. Of all the threads I read, they all say that they dreaded it and it was super hard, all they ALL passed. So that means you are fine! Keep us posted, I know it is easier said then done but relax, you are worried for nothing.

I got 75. And I'll tell you something that threw me - the last question was NOT what I consider a "passing level" question - it was kind of like "what is happening in this disease process", not application or analysis, not priority or delgation. So I thought for sure I had failed based on that. I didn't know the answer to the first question I got, or the last question. I didn't know the answer to most questions! I got drugs that I couldn't remember for the life of me. LOL it's a miracle, I'll tell ya.

CONGRATS for passing!!! I think it's funny how this whole NCLEX works!!! I have taken the NCLEX twice now. The first time I felt horrible like you did and had 188 and failed. The second time I felt great and had 77 and failed again. I retake the 8th of July... I have felt both great and horrible after the test and have failed both times!! lol so I'm not sure how this time is going to go! Good luck to all!!
