How to Proceed after Failing 1st NCLEX???

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the advice and tips. I recently took the NCLEX, on 10/4/05 and failed. 265 questions is what I received.My Candidate Performance Report states "Near the Passing Standard" for each of the 8 NCLEX components. I thought that I did a decent job studying the first time. Can anyone give me any pointers for the second time out? I have used Saunder's comprehensive review. I appreciate the help.Scott

Suzanne,

I did not get any herbal questions. My whole test was priority questions. I have received CD's to use to prepare to study again. One of them is Saunders. I will use that one to prepare now.

Thanks for your advice.

Suzanne,

I am sure I did over 4000 questions before taking the NCLEX-RN and I still failed. At 75 questions on top of that.

Now I am not sure what to do. I did the Lippencott cards, The Princeton Review, The Saunders Review, The ERI review as Mosby's Review and the NCLEX Exam Cram. I studied using the computer as well as did questions and did the rationales for the answers to the questions.

I am not sure what to do at this point. I just found out yesterday that I did not pass. The only thing I can think of doing now is to take Kaplan.

I am not sure what to do know. I am so frustrated because I feel like all my studying did not pay off.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I haven't taken boards yet but really soon and a friend gave me the advice of not to study from more than one book because then you only mess yourself around, so she just used Saunders ONLY, GOODLUCK, Always remeber you know the content, because you made it out of school. You can do it.
