Took NCLEX PN today

Published

hey everyone!

i took my nclex-pn this morning. i studied nonstop for the past week. i'm starting to wonder if i studied too much. i went into thinking if i pass wonderful, if i fail then i did all that i could do. which i still don't know that i would have done better if i had studied more. i just kept thinking during the test "why did i even bother to study". none of my questions looked remotely famaliar. after taking the test i am so sure that i failed. i did really good in school but i am an awful test taker. i can always narrow it down to two but then i always seem to pick the wrong one! i had one math but i made a dumb mistake and got it wrong. i had alot of drugs that i had never heard of and alot of sata. i guessed on all but 3 questions. i am even more sick to my stomach now then i was going into it. i don't know what to think/do. i was supposed to go to a baseball game with my boyfriend tonight but i don't even want to go anymore. i keep trying to rack my brain for some of the questions so i can look them up but i can only think of a few. how do you forget about it for the next 48 hours? and how do you deal with failing it? :sniff:

Since the result was not yet there, you better enjoy yourself first, have fun and most of all don't forget to pray because no matter what you do to look for the answer of the questions you encountered it will not really give you the assurance if you pass or not. Just wait for the result first because if you will keep on worrying the exam you take, it will just put you to be panic more or lets just say it will lead you to worry more. I understand how you felt right now because I already experienced that one and it's not easy. No matter what the result is be strong and most of all ACCEPT it. The most impportant is YOU GIVE YOUR BEST!

Good luck:wink2:

Moving this to the NCLEX forum where you will find much in the way of support.

Good suggestion by the other poster, get out, catch up on stuff whilst you wait for your results.

Good luck

Everybody that comes out of the NCLEX-PN feels like either they failed or at least dont know at all whether or not they passed. What you are feeling is entirely normal. :)

listen, you took the test it is in the past, so do not put so much pressure on yourself, you really have no idea how you did, so until you get your results try to unwind and relax. when you get your results then you can either celebrate or figure on what went wrong and get motivated to not let it get you down or break your spirit!!!! so think positive, get out a bit and take it off of your mind as best as you can.

I am scared to death now. I take my NCLEX-PN tomorrow August 13. I did really well in school, but I really haven't studied that much because I was unsure of what to study. I hope I do OK.
