old/new grad - need to pass exam!

Hi everyone. I just stumbled upon this site today. It seems like it will be very useful and a relief in the future. I graduated nursing school last May (2005) and still have not passed the NCLEX! I have taken it twice already and am about to take it again at the end of the month . . . it has been a long road for me. The first time I took it, it shut off at 265, and the second time 75 (guess I did worse the 2nd time around). So I have experienced both extremes. I have been doing many review ?s, and hope to be well prepared for my next exam. Even though I have taken it twice already I still get very anxious just thinking about it. I almost think the anxiety is what is messing me up when I do take it. I just want to get through this and get on with my life . . . I can't wait to be a nurse! So I am never going to give up, I am just going to keep taking it 'til I do pass. I didn't go to nursing school for 4 years to give up. I am praying that I pass it this time!

Don't give up hope. I took the NCLEX more than once and I graduated in 2003. I still have not passed. Sometimes I feel like giving up, but I have to have faith. Stay positive. It will happen.
