Heeey! OMG! ok so I came here from the Philippines last 2010. I took nclex RN that same year, and failed. Basically, tried it again for the 2nd and the 3rd time and still failed. I can't say I studied so much for it. Just the basic studying like how I did in nursing school. I already have an idea on how the exam goes, when I reviewed for my previous attempts, I recalled everything I learned in nursing school. I graduated from one of the top universities in my country and although I wasn't an honor student, I haven't failed on any of my subjects for 4 years. Failing the Nclex RN for the first time was a really hard blow for me. I was so depressed and I think until now I am still going through depression. The second and third attempts at passing the NCLEX RN were just futile. Although I did take review classes for my 2nd test. I never really took it seriously on my reviews plus I'm working full time at a dreadful job up until now. It has been 2 years and counting since I graduated. I can never imagine myself doing anything besides nursing. It has been my life long dream. But I don't know where and how to start studying. I can't quit my job, even if I wanted to so badly, so many bills to pay for, unfortunately. But I want to study really hard this time. I just want to talk to someone who understands what I'm going through, since my family obviously doesn't. They have no idea about going through nursing school, and failing the biggest exam of my life. They want me to pass so bad, yes, but they're not that supportive, I love them but they're more on pressuring and nagging me. I just wanna pass this and I need help. BTW, I did kaplan, kaplan qbank ( i got 90-92% passing rate on that, didnt know what happened on the actual exam) i have mosbys, nclex exam cram, i did the 10 days class review with excell which was very good. I know passing or failing the nclex is not up to the books or the review classes we take, it's up to us and to God. I don't know I'm just so lost right now and I need all the help that I can get. I wanna start studying again and I'm ready to work part time even if it means i'll be having a really hard time paying my bills and my car. i'll be willing to give that up to just to dedicate myself to studying. problem is, I dont know where and how to start. and I don't know how to get rid of my anxiety because I think after failing my first exam, I have been so wrecked I couldnt bare to take another test again. If I fail for the 4th time, I dont know how to pick myself up again.
