75 questions and failed. HELP PLEASE!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

hello everyone,

i have taken the July 3rd NCLEX and as to my dismay, I failed yet again. I always wanted to be an RN and this examination is the only thing that's holding me back towards achieving my dreams to become an RN. I have taken the online HURST review in my preparation for this exam and as to my surprise, I only utilize few of the info I have learned from the content of the course, and I know the materials by heart. I know for sure that i did not pass as I guessed the whole time i was taking the exam. I had 4 math calculation questions, atleast 3-4 SATA, teaching/management delegation, and few priority, and pharm about a drug i never heard before, same drug over and over again.

I am almost to a point of just giving up but I have read a lot of trends hear that struggled as well and did not give up. For some reason, I am a person that can't seem to pass any of the RN licensure exam and I want to break that mentality. I know and believe that eveything happens for a reason. it's been a year since I graduated from nursing school and i feel like i am running out of time. 2009 wasnt a good year for me and it turned out the 2010 is the same thing. I really need some help as to how I prepare this time around. any words of encouragement are highly appreciated as well. I wanted to be an RN so badly and I wanted to pass this exam. Please Help! anyone?:crying2::crying2:

Have you gotten the official results, with the breakdown of your categories?

New test takers should really read Marcos999 thread closely. He presented the most valuable information regarding test preparation imho. I used Saunders for all the content but equally important, I answered as much kaplan questions as I possibly could in a three week study period. DON'T rely on Saunders' questions as a guide to approach learning how to answer nclex questions. You must use kaplan or something else similar. Saunders questions are more straightforward to teach you the content. Kaplan questions are tough, tough whereas NCLEX questions are FAIR.

Wait to get your official results from the BON, they usually include information on what is required to resit the exam if you fail. You will need to new ATT and you will have to wait 45 or 90 days depending on the BON before you can resit

do anyone of you knows a site where in I can practice lotsa nclex questions? the kaplan review and qbank are expensive. I've already spend much for the Hurst review and they don't even respond to my cry for help both via phone and email. maybe because I live here in Canada? we may not know. anyhow, please anyone? i am starting to study now and i don't want to waste a single time as I wanted to pass the EXAm so bad.

I believe that everything that i'm going through right now and for the past year, every single thing of this happens for a reason. I alwasy believe that HE is giving me this much trials in my life right now because HE has a better, much bigger plan for me! I am still keeping a positive view on things!

go here and register University of Texas Medical Branch - Nursing

they use Lippincott questions. I did about 2000 of these before I took the NCLEX. I also used Saunders 4th ed (buy the book-it comes with a CD of test questions) and I did about 3000 of those. And lastly I used ATI, but my school provided us with codes for that.

I didnt use Kaplan. I just used that site, Saunders, and ATI. I also took a review course (it was run but a local company). I just did as many questions that I could (I did about 6000) and my average score on test questions were about 75%.
