I am new to this forum. I live in Los Angeles, CA. I have failed the test 3 times. I do not know what to do??? I am going crazy.

Please give me study advise? What should I study? How should I study? The exam all 3 times as stopped around 90 questions.

Can I get a job in the nursing field without passing my Nclex test?

I did a private course in LA for one year. I feel like a failure.

I there, we have something in common I failed NCLEX three times as well. I brought all these different study books, but I continued to fail. Finally I purchased a KAplan strategy book. It was great, it teaches you how to brake down your question to two ansewer. And how to pick the best one from those. It is the 08 edition and it on cost around 25 bucks. It reaally helped me. I passed the fourth time around. So don't give up, it can be done.

Kanda,
Just tell yourself it's not a matter of if you pass it, but when. I'd start off by looking for NCLEX messages on allnurses.com - they're very helpful.

You could work as a nursing assistant, but you need certification to do that. What I would do is focus on eventually passing. The NCLEX forum may have good advice on how to pass the exam. I wish you luck and love for the next go around!

Everybody,
I think one of the most important things to know for the NLEX is HOW to take it. This could easily be the problem, because it's one weird test.

I know. This is why the OP received some suggestions to visit the NCLEX forum. Some have used Suzanne's plan, and other strategies. I agree, it is a strange exam...something I would not have to experience again. I can feel the OP's pain.

Re: Failed the NCLEX-Pn 3RD TIME!!

I failed the test twice. I am going to take it again tomorrow 2/7/08. I hope that it will be my last time to take it. I am a single parent of 2, I am currently a full time nursing student for the associate nursing program, and I have been hired for a job that is pending on my results of this upcoming exam. So don't feel bad, hang in there and say a little prayer for me.

Re: Failed the NCLEX-Pn 3RD TIME!!

Ahh I take mine tomorrow, too! This is my first run and reading some of the posts.. I did a lot of reviewing, but I also heard from one of my class mates that recently took it 5 days ago that some of it isnt really how to take it.. some of it was off the wall and meds he didnt even know or heard of! If its breaking it down to two.. then I feel lost because even using Kaplans theres no way that only 2 are right ... but who knows ... good luck!
