Hey everybody. Just got through with the NCLEX..... Let me say this 1st.
I graduated Dec. 16th, of '05, and I live in Louisiana. Well, because of Hurricain Katrina, all paperwork that goes through the state is late. So I was late getting my temporary license and late getting my ATT, which meant it was going to be late before I could take NCLEX. When I 1st graduated I was very confident about the NCLEX. Now almost 3 months later and working full time I'm not.
The test was AWFUL. I felt like I guessed on about 90% of the test. It stopped on 160 or 162 and I don't even think I got the last question right. So, i've read all about the people whose test stopped on 75, 85 or 265, but I have not ever heard anything about the 160's. I really think i've failed you guys! Whats even worse is instead of just my family and friends knowing I failed, everyone at work will know I failed, my pay will be cut down more than half, and i'm going to be a nurse tech instead of a graduate nurse. I am so sad, and depressed.
I really feel like if I was able to take my test in January, that I would have done much better. It was like the 2nd week in Feb. before we received our ATT's. Oh well.... thanks for listening.
