Yesterday, I just found out that I failed the Nclex-RN exam. I am still floored. I cryed for about an hour to my mom & dad over the phone. My heart is crushed, and I'm embarrassed on top of that . I had a gut feeling that I didn't pass , but everyone I know said they walked out of the exam thinking that too. So now what do I do?? I took the Kaplan course, did Q trainers, Q bank, but seems as though on the nclex I couldn't apply Kaplan rules to answer the questions.I start my dream job on Tuesday. I am sooooo ashamed,and feel like I don't know a thing. Can someone tell me about Suzanne's plan??? Help please, I'm just going to pull the covers over my head for the rest of the day and tackle this head on starting tomorrow

Re: Failed 1st time 150 questions, NOW WHAT???

Welcome to the site and forum.

Sorry to hear you failed and although you feel it it is nothing to be embarrassed about. Give yourself a break from studying and then if you are going to do Suzanne's plan start on the first tip. All information can be found in the stickies on the main NCLEX forum (will have this icon at the side ) there are 2 stickies regarding her plan

You can make it, have faith in yourself and do not give up

Re: Failed 1st time 150 questions, NOW WHAT???

Thanks for your support and your quick reply. I'm glad to have found a support system

Re: Failed 1st time 150 questions, NOW WHAT???

HI! I am sorry but don't lose hope. Pull yourself together. Take some time then review again! I know it's hard. Take it as a motivation to pass the retake.

God bless

Re: Failed 1st time 150 questions, NOW WHAT???

Thanks for your support and advice. Yes it is hard, but getting through nursing school was hard too and I made it. I think I'm gonna watch a movie with my family today instead of keeping the covers over my head all day and then start fresh in the morning with a new game plan

Re: Failed 1st time 150 questions, NOW WHAT???

Keep your head up!!! get back on studying when you feel ready and really do Suzanne's plan and trust me, it works!!!, I passed my 3rd try after using her plan.

Re: Failed 1st time 150 questions, NOW WHAT???

Keep your head up! I have to take mine soon and don't feel prepared at all. If you don't mind me asking, what were your scores like for kaplan?

Re: Failed 1st time 150 questions, NOW WHAT???

:hngon:Hang in there. You can do this.

Re: Failed 1st time 150 questions, NOW WHAT???

Sorry to hear that you failed. You can find out about Suzanne's plan by reading the stickies at the top of this forum. Good plan to start tomorrow. Good luck.
