Turkeygirl Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I am so worried right now....despite people telling me I did fine.... Took my nursing state boards aka the NCLEX.....and after 75 questions it shut off! So I'm freaked out I did horrible.... It's either I failed or I passed....but I was expecting more questions...I don't know....I'm scared though:( It's hard to explain about the NCLEX unless you're a nurse,lol, but basically it gives you easy questions and then gets to hard questions, and if you are doing fine with hard questions, it stays there...I personally felt like alot of my questions were tough.....but I also feel dumb at this point, like I knew nothing... I just don't know what I'll do if I didn't pass....I'm so scared Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wtnhunt Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hope you get your results back soon Ruth. Catrina's exam shut off at 75 questions too. Even though she knew the exam material inside out she was pretty tense/uptight waiting, but like I told her, with it shutting off that quick she had to have done well. There is no sense worrying over it after you are done you cannot change it now. No way you bombed it bad enough for it to shut off that quick for failure, try and relax as best as you can. Maybe your results will be available online quicker than hers were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 That's what I keep thinking wtn...if I was doing bad, I would have had more questions.....who knows though...but everyone says I'll be fine...here's to hoping and praying.. I heard some got their results in 24 hours....I can go online and it'll say when the unofficial results are up and when they are, I have to pay like $10...but it'll be worth it to ease my anxiety... Took a walk to check my cam...no photos but hey, anything to keep my mind off it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Kat Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Hopefully you spelled everything correctly JK, Ruth I know you passed with flying colors, I'm not worried one bit. Can't wait to see your thread saying you passed. Congrats now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Well I know I didn't know the material inside out...there was way too much stuff to cover...but the majority of the questions were on something I'd learned at some point in school....I just don't feel great about it right now...

fly Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I know what you're going through. Been there in 1995. I had 124 questions which means I didn't ace it at 75. Not sure if you know this, but it might make you feel a little better. Twenty-five or 15 (I forget the exact number) of the 75 items are experimental items and don't count towards your score. So if there were several items you know you missed they may not have counted against you. In the 10 years I've been teaching nursing nearly all the students that had their exams shut off at 75 items passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted June 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 Thanks fly...makes me feel a little better:) I remember they told us like 15 questions I think didn't count...they were more like trial questions or something... I hope I can join one of the students who passed when their exam when it shut off at 75...hee hee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted June 4, 2009 Report Share Posted June 4, 2009 I'm sure ya did great Ruth! I was thinking the same, if you didn't do well on the first 75 you'd think they would keep giving you questions. Good luck on the results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_lou Posted June 5, 2009 Report Share Posted June 5, 2009 You need to act like you passed. You pack your bags and get ready for camp. That way aren't scrambling at the last minute to get ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
