rn nclex failure x2

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

please help! My husband has failed his RN NCLEX today for the second time after doing the Herst review and studying endlessly since the last time he took it. First question: how long does he have to wait to take it again after the second time (we are in Texas)....Second question: what else can he try? He did Herst review, and Saunders. Maybe Capellan? His score report shows he is nearly passing in all areas. He has test anxiety pretty bad and I think he maybe he just thinks to far into it. He got 265 questions both times. He is depressed and upset and I just want to help him get this chapter done and over with! We are both LVNS now so I am familiar with NCLEX but not for RN. PLEASE help, any words of encouragment??

Thanks!

Hi - How do you go about finding an NCSBN tutor?

He needs to get Lacharity PDA it was great. He needs to learn test taking skills. Nclex you have to know content but testing skill will help a lot. Pick the killer answer. Hurst helped a little but im not giving them all the credit. Lacharity helped the most.

Never heard of lacharity! That would be so helpful....he is just feeling down because others are going and passing left and right with 75 questions...a lot of those students barely passed at school too! So he just doesnt understand why he is having so much trouble with it....I personally think its all about eliminating the obvious wrong answers and narrowing down whats left, even if you arent entirely sure what the question means....
