Re: Failed NCLEX - study/answer tips?

Thank You again.. I have had better days.. I was warned about the "days before" and really thought I'd be fine.. I guess I was wrong!

I look at it this way, I survived all of my mid-term tests, the finals for each level in nursing school & then the pre-boards where the whole class felt like we didn't know any of the questions that were being asked & the Psych. Meds they asked on the exam were older meds that are not used as often & at least I had a background as a pharm. tech so I knew they were psych meds & what to look for.

If for some reason I don't pass on Monday I will look at it as a bigger incentive to take it again & that I will know what to expect when I get to the testing site.

I have to keep things positive since work needs me to pass & I need to pass!

I can't afford to take a cut in pay that would bring me down to less than I have ever made in my life! So with that in the back of my head I guess I am a little stressed out.

My boss graduated from the same program as me & she is wonderful! We have a seminar next Friday for our company & she is taking me so I know she believes in me & I don't want to let her down.

I'm off to do another test in the exam cram book since I think I only have one left!

I have done way over the 2,000 questions since I did the NCSB once already & I bought it again & I did the other Cd's I have on my laptop for PN. I have 2 that were from school & I use them to take a break from the exam cram CD & the NCSB site.

I don't think anyone can be prepared enough and since we all want to pass I will just keep on testing until I fall over or asleep

Thanks again for your help & the one site that you gave me a link to has a chat program that I somehow already belong to?? I thought that was a bit weird but hey, at least I said "hello" to the chat room.

I liked how that site had a pop up of useful tips & info in red right under the chat box!

What a great idea

Thanks again

Re: Failed NCLEX - study/answer tips?

As an ADN graduate from South Puget Sound Community college in Olympia, WA I want to thank Laurie Brown for her dedication in mastering the RN NCLEX review prep course… Many of you know the NCLEX can be one of the most difficult tests to complete to get your license... and it is frustrating when you have taken the test several times and had no success. When I had heard of Laurie’s class I couldn’t believe that her technique could actually work. After attending her class I felt as I had more knowledge in what was needed to pass the NCLEX exam... I went to 2 more classes with Laurie and afterwards I took the test couple days later and passed with 76 questions … For those who have given up to all hope with unable to pass the NCLEX, don’t because you can do it.. And for those going into the test for the first timeor re-taking the test.....believe me this course helps you focus on the important information to know for the test and help you feel much more confident in passing the test.
Here is the website to contact her: http://www.rnlaurie.com/nclex%20home.htm

Re: Failed NCLEX - study/answer tips?

I would suggest you use the search topics I indicated earlier in this thread. Use them, exactly as I have them written.

Additionally, I would suggest that you use "Google" as your search engine when you enter the search topics I suggested.

For those that are looking for the site....check www.NurseReview.org.

Hope this information is helpful.

Why is that Suzanne's plan no longer available. Sounds like it helped a lot of test-takers so what happened?
Go to your local library. Istead of buying those Saunders, Kaplan, etc nclex-pn review books with CD's for 50 bucks or so, you can rent it free at your local library. Mine has saunders, kaplan, arco and pearson. hundreds of nclex pn review questions with rationales.
