3rd time was suppose to be the Charm (FAILED NCLEX 3RD TIME)

Hi Ogechi,

You may want to look at my post "long time lurker...first time poster." I was (sorta) in the same boat as you. Only you will know when you are ready, but the one thing that I would highly recommend is a prayer to St. Joseph of Cupertino. All the best!

i am so sorry for what you've been through. i believe you have to know the content, can you honestly say that you know everything about cushing, addison, diabetes, infection control, ppe's etc:. are you following the abc's. there was a previous post and the question was who would you see first, the pt with an object in one eye or the pt with multiple lacerations to the face. the answer is lacerations to the face, you don't know the extent of the pt's injury, might affect airway. once i learned and truly understood abc's i haven’t gotten a priority or delegation question wrong.

what i’m trying to say is do you honestly understand everything you have learned. if not than take your time, do one section at a time until you get it. pray for courage and guidance, never give up. as you seen on allnurses, some pass on their 4, 5th time, of course you don't want to go that far, but things happen for a reason.

good luck, and stay positive.

@Ogechi

I believe that everything happens for a reason.. and that God knows what we can do, and He will never give us a challenge that we cannot overcome..

I learned that getting your core content rock solid foundation is the way to go... And I would like to ask, you said you have every NCLEX book known to man right? if so, do you study ALL of them?? Maybe thats the problem, your putting yourself through too many review materials.. Out of all of them, which one seems to be working with you the most? Why don't you try sticking to 1 or 2 or even 3 if you want, and just simply build on the core content... Remember, strategies are all good and helpful but if you don't know your content how can you use those strategies? Also, concentrate on areas that seem to be your weakness, for example, if Pharm is your weakness try to review more on that...

Most importantly, PRAY, and BELIEVE in GOD's purpose for us..

Pray to St.Jude Thaddeus, patron Saint of Hopeless cases.. Remember, FAITH and PRAYER, those are the most important things to do to prepare...

FEELING Your Pain. We will master this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
