Took NCLEX RN for 3rd Time...Nervous

[Ready2Nurse5]

I finally got the nerve back up to sit for the NCLEX RN exam for the third time. After reading testimonials on this site, praying, and self reassurance I scheduled a date. I did not tell a soul. I couldn't bare the disappointment. I took the exam yesterday. It was an extremely hard exam. I had about 25 SATA, a few drag and drop, 2-3 math, lots of priority and delegation and a few hot spot questions. The screen went blue somewhere around 150-160. I don't know how to feel. I have been trying to stay positive and hopeful. I initially felt decent about it. As time has passed, I began to think of things that I possibly got wrong. It is wearing me out. At one point I felt like I didn't know what was going on during the exam, but the questions kept coming. Of the multiple times I have taken this test, this has certainly been the most difficult.

I want this so bad and I am tired of studying for this exam. I have been out of work for the last few months as I failed the exam for the first time after starting a new job as a grad RN. I NEED to work and I am ready to be happy again. Failing this exam numerous times has taken its toll on me as well as my family. I hope and pray that this is my final time taking this exam.

It is very disappointing when u have to take the test multiple times but it is possible that you will pass. So don't give up on yourself. You may have done better than you think this time around....stay positive. How soon can u see results in ur state. I know in Ohio you can get on the board of nursing website and attempt to verify you license and if it pops up then u obviously passed because u have an active license
