so i took the nclex rn today.... So i had to travel 2 hrs to get there and my test was at 8 so was up by 4. THEN my car decided to overheat and break down... (ONLY TODAY would this happen)... so i barely get there on time.. and then i start the test and i go past 75 (of course i start to freak out) then i took a break to gather myself...

Then i just kept going... i felt there were a ton of drugs i have never seen in my life. i had only a few SATA. a TON of pharm... mostly priority, and infection control. it stopped at 180.

I cried as soon as i left the door. I have been crying ever since. I am like 99% sure i failed..... and the wait is agonizing..........:bluecry1:

Sorry that things happen but isn't Murphy's law like that. Everyone feels as if they failed especially if the questions go beyond what you was hoping to get. Usually better to expect the worse. Hang in there and good luck

Good luck. Keep in mind though that the number of questions does not indicate whether you passed or failed, it is just the number you got. Keep a positive attitude while you wait.

:hngon:HANG IN THERE!!!!

I took mine on Tuesday and was a nervous wreck until I got my passing grade yesterday. NYBON posts in a week. There was no way I was waiting that long. OP, its easy to say relax but I know how you feel. Just pray for the best!

I felt the same way after I took mine on Wednesday. I was done in an hour and it shut off at 90. I thought 90?! I'm screwed thats such an odd number. I cried all of wednesday. I found out yesterday I passed! It is possible, but just try to place it out of your mine and relax. It's over now and there's nothing you can do. Just relax and do something for you. It's worth it, I promise!

I am sorry that you had to go through that. Took test last 9/30. the lady at pearson vue told me my greencard was not a valid ID(?)!!!

:argue: had to fish out my passport and by the time i sat down was a nervous wreck. I sobbed :bluecry1: after the test (200+q's). CA Bon does not have quick result so am still hanging by a thread of hope.:banghead:But i do resolve to smell the roses once more afte, there is life after the test after all!:devil:
