must be hard for you . Take some time off to get yourself back to studying mode, and evaluate your studying methods like which one has worked and not. Then come back and start studying again and take the NCLEX when you feel like taking it again. GOodluck!

Re: Crushed..failed again..

Lilkrngrl7...

I am so, so sorry to hear of what happened. My heart goes out to you. Here is a hug for you... Please do not allow yourself to feel like a failure. You are not...and never will be a failure so don't you forget that. Allow yourself to grieve over what has happened. Wait for your test results to come in by mail. Take some time off from studying. Then, as you begin to heal from what has just happened, start the process of studying all over again. No matter how hard it may be to stay positive, hold your head up high and begin to prepare yourself to tackle this animal (the NCLEX) again---when you are ready.

Hang in there!!!

Re: Crushed..failed again..

I am so sorry to hear that you didn't pass and I couldn't imagine how you are feeling, but I will be praying for you. What study materials have you been using?

I haven't taken my NCLEX yet, but I used Hurst review and I have found a MAJOR improvement of my knowledge and answering questions since I have used it.

Re: Crushed..failed again..

I'm so sorry. I took the NCLEX yesterday and don't know the results yet. How did you find out so soon?

I can't say for sure whether I passed but I got the good pop-up with the PV Trick.

I used Exam Cram and HESI Evolve Research study guides and disks. I've heard great things about the Hurst review also. Good luck, don't give up, you can do it.

Re: Crushed..failed again..

am sorry to here that....

Re: Crushed..failed again..

It's great to hope for the best, as long as you're also doing something to bring it about. Keep your hopes high, and yet do not allow them to become a substitute for your efforts.

Hope will work for you to the extent that you work for it. With hope and positive expectations behind your efforts, those efforts become vastly more effective. But hope can also work against you if the only thing it inspires you to do is to sit and wait. For then it just becomes an empty wish.

When you find yourself hoping for something, be sure to also find a way to invest the energy of your efforts in that hope. Give your hope a way to move you forward by doing all you can to move it forward.

Have the vision and the faith to hope for the very best. Then get busy, as you hold that hope in your heart, and make the effort necessary to make it happen.
