I'm so lost what to even study for now.. I've wanted to be a nurse for 3 years now.. then I get my results back, talk about a low blow. My wifes supporting me saying I can take it again, yes I can. I have Davis Nclex book full of questions, but obviously missing something if I didn't pass. I had the 205 questions.. grrr

Re: failed nclex pn.. hope lost feeling rather dumb founded

Honey, just relax for a week and then revisit what and how to study.

I'm sorry.

Re: failed nclex pn.. hope lost feeling rather dumb founded

the kaplan 2010 book gives great test taking tips and the mosby nclex RN-19th ed. is amazing

Re: failed nclex pn.. hope lost feeling rather dumb founded

Maybe, you should take a review class?

Re: failed nclex pn.. hope lost feeling rather dumb founded

girl, how bout failed rn boards twice!!!!
im feeln real dumb too

Re: failed nclex pn.. hope lost feeling rather dumb founded

take the week long review course, read everything, and get a few of those cd's with test bank questions.

Re: failed nclex pn.. hope lost feeling rather dumb founded

Never give up! Keep practicing question. Wish you all the best!

Re: failed nclex pn.. hope lost feeling rather dumb founded

Getting 205 means you was doing good so probably just missed out. I would try another book, I prefered Saunders and passed on third time, but find something that works for you. The book you have at the moment isn't working for you so change it. Keep practising questions and only read up on an area if you find you are having problems answering the questions (why I say Saunders Comprehensive review as it has good review material) and read the rationales

You can do it so don't give up

Good luck

don't loose hope, Delay is not denial. you are not alone. pray and keep doing your best.

keep yer head up. i know exactly how you feel. i took my test (pn) in ohio on the 23. had the max. 205 ?'s just as you did. boy did i ever feel stupid. i felt like i never even went to school. the ?'s, to me , i thought were very hard. i'm studying 'lippincott's review for nclex-pn, 8th edition'. i'm finding that the set up of the ?'s are very similar to the way they were on the nclex. check it out and see what you think. i'm waiting for a kaplan book to come in to the book store, should be in tomorrow. hopefully that one helps too. i'll let you know, but definately check out lippincott's
