NCSBN NCLEX-RN Review (Failed first time)

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi everyone!I took the NCLEX-RN exam last December. Unfortunately, I failed. It was my first try too. Kaplan review did not work on me. Tried to read the Saunders book at first but then I felt overwhelmed and not for me. I admit that it was my fault. I felt that I did not give my best at all. I also had doubts in myself. And so on...But then life goes on. And the world does not stop there. So am I. God wants me to be prepared as in really prepared wherein not just to get over NCLEX but to pass it and use all my learnings & experiences into the nursing reality. Life lessons learned. Now, I'm more determined to pass the exam and share my blessings as RN out there. Giving up is not in my dictionary. To make this not long, I would just like to get any feedbacks from anyone of you regarding the NCSBN 15 weeks course worth $160 or any week course it offers. What do you comment about it? The content review? The questions? Is it worth it? Any suggestions or anything to share about it would be highly appreciated. Planning to purchase it since NCSBN manages the NCLEX plus it's complete and updated. Thanks.

NCSBN is outstanding for content.

I waited over a year to take my Nclex the first time. I did the Kaplan review and I failed at about 150 questions. I then purchased Hurst Review and received 265 questions on Nclex just to fail again. I was running my own business and had almost left the idea of being a Nurse. It was almost year 3 past my graduation date when I found a couple of videos from Nursity. I wanted something more up to date with the changes in the Nclex then Hurst or Kaplan. I purchased the Nursity program for about $260. I spent over a month studying and still receive 265 question but this time I passed. One difference I found with Nursity is that he brakes it down to what you need to know. Where everyone else makes you feel like you need to know everything. He simplifies Pharm and EKG's to where you will actually remember it. I'm probably one of the only students to buy Kaplan, Hurst and Nursity. Not including all of the Saunders and other books. If only I would have found Nursity first.

Hi!! How were you doing on your q reviews?!?! I take my nclex in 4 days and I took Hurst and NCSBN! However my q review scores are mostly 60% and 70%. Sometimes it will be 75% and i'm freaking out because I already failed the nclex once couple months back!

I am also doing Hurst, and in a few weeks I'm going to start the NCSBN online review.

Did you do well on the NCLEX on this last attempt :writing:?
