Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Well I took my NCLEX today and I'm pretty sure that I failed.........I almost cried when my computer shut off after only 75 Q's :crying2:

I am soo dissapointed right now I dont know what to think. I thought I studied hard, but the test was nothing like I though it would be. I had TONS of prioritizing questions (which pt to see first...........) Which Im assuming means that I didnt even get to any upper level questions. Does anyone know if this is true???? I also wasnt even asked anything about disease processes or meds (maybe 3 or 4 Q's)....Plus, I only had one medcalc Q and one select all that apply. :stone

Right now I am completely stunned, I feel like I studied for nothing..... I read over 2000 pages of Saunders and ATI test prep books (out of which only THREE paragraphs were actually devoted to prioroitizing pts!!!!!!!!!) I just dont understand!!!!

Does anyone elese feel like this right now?? Any adivice would help! :crying2:

Just a quick update, I passed...thanks for all the support!!!!

Congratulations! :)

congratulations!

I'm sure you did fine!!! If it shut off at 75 and you got lots of priority, you most likely passED!! Odds are on your side.

I took mine monday and I got tons of priority questions. I wasn't confident in my answers but came out knowing I did the best I could. I studied my butt off and I knew there was no way I could fail at 75 q's. If I did, I knew it was because of anxiety and not because I was dumb. I found out yesterday I passed with 75 questions!!!

So don't beat yourself up, it will be time wasted!! I know you will post you passed in a couple of days!!!

I passed with 75 too and had tons of priority ones. Don't worry you did fine

Hang in there. I took the test in early July and felt the exact same way. It's out of your hands now. Try to relax and do something for you. More than likely you passed.

See!

I tell my patients frequently not to worry because I'm a professonal worryer and I get PAID to worry for them, so they shouldn't.

But on the other hand, lol, I try to only worry about things I'm getting paid to worry about.

I hope you didn't worry too much! The problem with that test is that you WILL miss alot of questions, and, if you aren't used to that, it can be quite unnerving. To all you students out there, before you complain that your tests at school are so arbitrary and hard to discern and your teachers are making it difficult on purpose, THINK: NCLEX and you'll THANK them later. . .

Oh, and Congrats you RN, you!
