Just took nclex! I dont know what to think

What is ninja focus?

When I was developing my study plan I learned through an online strategy session with Kaplan that if you can get the first 6 questions right on the test it boosts you way up above the line. Every time I took a practice test I would slow my breathing, be aware of distractions but not give them my attention, then focus on the question with authority and confidence on the first 10 questions. I call this ninja focus. It takes too long to do the entire test this way.

I am prone to extreme test anxiety and had to develop a way to overcome it during school. It was so bad at the beginning it was all I could do to stay in my chair during a test. I used meditation techniques to slow my heart rate and find focus.

I'm so sorry to hear this. Take a mental health break; when you get your results in the mail you can formulate a new plan. PLEASE do not beat yourself up. There's probably just an area or two that you need to look at. Don't let this be your last try. We are here and we can help you through this.

Claire can i pm u something?

Please do!

I had two anxiety attacks during the exam.. But I felt like I had good questions and it shut off at 103... I just don't know anymore... You can get KNOCKED DOWN 1 times and get back up... U GET KNOCKED DOWN AGAIN.. u get back up! But after the 5th times... Ur just numb.. And lost. I got through school. And I know my stuff .. If I was scoring in the 56- 63's in Kaplan... How is this possible?

Hi florida, don't give up. I took nclex more than 7 times and I am not going to give up. Gods timing is not our timing. I felt the same way you did. Sometimes I ask God why I got A's and B's in nursing school and why is it so hard to pass. I study my butt off but this month I am going to have RN behind my name. In the name of Jesus and I am going to be on of the best.

I'm so sorry to hear :-( the best RN I worked with failed 7 times and passed on her 8th time. She is the best RN on the floor and her title says RN not I took it 8 times RN. Take a few days off to get your mind clear, cry and let it out. Then when you are ready, tackle it again. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.[/quote']

That's true peppermint, it will say your name and RN behind it not 8 times. I guess I am going to be a good nurse. Just keep the faith and keep prayering God will see you through.

Thanks.. I'm so numb. I don't know what to think. I don't know how to figure out what to study now! I'm so angry.. I don't know what to do! Like how do u study everything and still fail??? Now I have nothing else I have no idea to set a plan ... How is this possible!?!

I think your panic attacks had something to do with it. You will get your results in the mail soon then you can make a plan. Until then, be kind to yourself. Try to get your stress level down.

I certainly understand your anger and frustration. It sucks and I'm truly sorry.

Sorry to hear about that . If it's in your heart, keep fighting for it. I agree with Claire that you should review your score report and set up a plan. Maybe even gather your past score reports along with the new one and identify common areas that you didn't do so well on.
