Took nclex, shut off at 75qs, now im scared to know the result

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I took nclex-rn on 12/5 and it shut off at 75th question. I cant determined whether the questions i got belongs to easy or difficult level. All i can remember was some were content type, more than 10 sata and alot of priority questions. (I lost count on each tho).

Now is the hardest part-the waiting game! Until now i havent gotten any courage to check on the result yet. A part of me is so curious to try the PVT in the first 24hours but i didnt, and now it was already 4days after and i know that the quick view result offered by ncsbn is now available;however i dont feel like doing it and paying for 7.95$ . I know i may sound terrible and crazy and maybe i was the only one who took the test and doesnt want to know the result.

Many things'running on my mind, thinking what if I passed or what if not?! Arrgg Im so scared to know the truth! Of course i will be very happy if the result is positive, but the fact that the result could be 50,50%chances. Cant imagine what will be my reaction. Im afraid of the negative thoughts and the agony of waiting is slowly killing me!! 😖 i still hold on to my faith, hope and pray that i passed. 🙏🏼Maybe i will just wait for the mail and find out.

Who else can relate? Or am i really the only one?

What will i do now? Is it still a normal feeling? I plan to keep on reviewing to enhance my knowledge and keep my brain cells working, coz ive been a graduate since '08 and is quite a long time that my brain gets rusty and empty.

Any word of advice and comforting thoughts will be greatly appreciated and also if you can share some of your review materials like the ones i often read on blogs : la charity, ati, hurst, kaplan.

Well, if the exam shut off at 75, you either did generally very well or generally very poorly. There's NOTHING you can do to change that result and not checking (even if it's $7.95) won't keep that pass/fail in simultaneous status. There's no Schrödinger's cat in the box. You have nothing to gain by not finding out... but that's up to you. You can wait for some email or some letter that comes in the mail in 45 days(-ish) to tell you that you didn't do well or that you passed.

I got my license numbers just about 36 hours after finishing the NCLEX. I started looking for a job more earnestly (because I had RN license numbers) that following morning.

Yes, akulahawkRN youre right! I guess I really know that myself but im just too scared of what it could be. I did my best reviewing and got good scores on taking practice test. Just a feeling that I dont want to get my family disappointed thats why waiting for days somehow keeps me calm of the tension little by little and perhaps it is a defense mech. Havent open this up to them coz they might not understand, its also like venting it all out here.

Its done and over, nothing i can do about it. And thank you for making me realized more about it, i will be ready to embrace whatever the result is. Cant wait to be an RN and celebrate, and apply for work too! :)

Ive read thru some post that they received the mail letter just a few days or a week, so i hope it will be delivered soon. If there's any way i can access for the result for free then i will do it, just like the others who checked their name on bon. I applied on Hi bon and the site isnt that much helping where can i view for the recent board passers. (Just dont want to pay the $ coz honestly i dont have it! Haha)

Can't you just go to your state BON website for free, type in your name and see if there's a license number there??

I'm talking about the actual website, not some third party waste of time (for example, in IL you go to the Department of Professional Regulation (which is idfpr.com) and click on "License Lookup".

Easy peasy.

If you Google something like "Department of Professional Regulation (your state)", it should come up in your search.

The Illinois site has a "License lookup" tab you can click on, then you have to scroll and find the correct profession.
