Took NCLEX-PN at 9:30 today

Published

I am surprised.

The computer (as I predicted) shut off at 85 questions. No surprises.

No calculations. A few SATA, and a lot of prioritizing.

I was expecting the staff to be brisk and rude, but everyone was friendly and smiling which made for a comfortable environment to start off in.

I said a quick prayer and took the test and was in and out in less than a hour. I didn't find the questions too hard, and felt fairly confident when I left.

Now I am sitting here numb. I don't really feel anything. No fear, no excitement, just a numbness.

Oh well. Guess I'll find out one way or the other soon.

Thanks all.

I just wanted to add:

I think it is absolutely RIDICULOUS that they can't spit out that yes you passed or no you failed immediately. All of this psychological waiting is nonsense. That computer KNOWS that you passed or failed. Any other test they get immediate results. The same should go for nursing.

Just my $0.2 as I sit and wait for the next 36 hours or so......

(I did get a nice surprise today. My twin sister surprised me with tickets to go meet and greet the New Kids on the Block, which was very exciting. ;) )

I wish you the best of luck. I am still waiting for my ATT. My school didn't fill out all of my paperwork, so I have been playing the waiting game since Dec. 08.:banghead:

I used both Qbank from Kaplan and Saunders. I just did questions, and only really went over things like lab values and such which was good for me, because a lot of my questions were what would you do FIRST, as opposed to what the disease was, how to treat, etc. Good luck!

Thanks everyone for the Congrats! I am soooo happy now!

Congrats!

I take the NCLEX-PN on February 23.

Did your school participate in the ATI?

If so were the questions similar?

Thanks and good luck in your nursing career.
