Waiting for NCLEX results

I just walked out of the NCLEX-RN and it shut off after 265 questions. I feel like the question I ended on was pretty easy, which means that I am a big fat idiot who failed. I walked out to my waiting fiance and just cried and I am so miserable now.

I have a super high IQ, super good grades, and I've never struggled with anything or felt like as HUGE of an idiot.

I know that Ohio Nursing boards post your license fairly quickly if you pass, but how about if you fail? How do I find out?:angryfire

Usually it is a letter through the post. Everyone comes out of the testing feeling a failure and many do pass with max questions. Hang in there and I know easier said than done but try to relax and Good luck

my instructor told me some people automatically get 265 questions for research purposes. a grad last year had 265 and passed so keep your head up.....and you are not an idot...i heard everyone feels like that when they come out and i know i probaly will too.:up:

Keep your head up! I take my RN test tomorrow. I am scared to death about it. I even had a good cry while ago. Just wanted to let you know you are in my prayers!

God Bless!

I kinda think the stress works against you... The more I got into the higher numbers, the more anxious I got, and I started making dumb mistakes (bumping enter with my elbow when I wasn't sure if I wanted the one I'd clicked) and started blanking out on things I know, stopped loking for words like PRIORITY and INITIALLY.

I've never felt so dumb in my life. I really know I failed. Gross. I don't want to go through the thought of taking it again. It scares the bejeezes out of me.
