Almost 2 weeks of waiting...

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

As many of you know...I've taken my exam last Aug. 22 in California and I still haven't gotten my result. Tomorrow will be my 2nd week of waiting unless today is an exemption because it's labor day. My exam stopped at 75, had alot of select all that apply, prioritization, delegation. I've seen some members in the forum who took their test later than me and found out they passed 3 days after. I'm getting frustrated and depressed from waiting because now I feel that I probably failed. I'm sorry for all this I just need to vent from waiting too long and feeling that I probably failed again for the third time...

Hi Echota,

I did not mean for you to lose hopes. Actually, the girl from the salon has a different situations from us. She was able to take the exam even though she still has one outstanding class she needs to repeat (Psych). She had 200 questions.

There are actually some people in this forum that I have read that had taken their exams back in June 2006 with 75 questions and received their result after 21 days or so. You probably have something holding you in the BRN such as transcripts from your school or your finger print.

The waiting of the unknown really sucks but don't lose hopes on us. :nono:

You're right. I'm just very unstable right now. One day I'm looking forward and thinking positive, then the next day I feel down. Thank you Hopeful for cheering me up. I'm not losing hope for us and I will continue to pray :) Have a great weekend!

I finally got my result in the mail. I failed. 3 weeks of waiting...and I still didn't pass. I'm trying to calm myself right now. I just opened the letter just 30 seconds ago...and I didn't know what to do first. Whether to call my mom, boyfriend, brother, friends, relatives... So that's why I posted here to at least let out what I'm feeling. I'm still in the state of disbelief...but this is my third time to fail...so I know what to expect already. I just don't feel like calling everybody who also waited to hear from me and tell them the bad news...sigh...

I want to cry :( But it wont do anything right? I know I shouldnt feel like a failure but its hard not to when you realize that you failed. Right now I'm trying to think how I should study differently. I took Kaplan twice( paid for it twice) on my first 2 exams, then my last exam I just went over the book and the question trainer cd over and over again. I guess that didn't help. I'm now thinking of purchasing the Kaplan Q-bank to do more practice questions. What do you guys think?

Right now I'm in disbelief and I feel lost. I feel like my prayers weren't answered. I feel like God has left me alone. I'm not blaming him or anybody. I just need to get all my frustrations out today so tomorrow I can send my reapplication again and go back to studying.

I need to lay down and cry it all out:sniff:

I am sorry you did not pas and to not have quick results is inhumane. I used the mosby's online CAT and really liked it and used the sanders to bone up on my weak areas. Good Luck on your next attempt.

I'm sorry to hear your news, Echota. :( I know that you are a person who has persistence and I am confident that you will make it soon!

Hi Echota,

I am sorry to hear it. If you want to cry then you should. This too shall pass. I am in the same position with you. I have done all of Kaplan. This time I will do Saunders as it seems like it helped many people. Have you thought of Saunders and Lippincott? I also heard that they gave more questions than Kaplan. I took Kaplan but I felt like I was going in circle and seeing the same questions over and over.

We are here for you. Your persistence will pay off. And God is always there for you.

:( I'm so sorry you didn't pass...:( Don't give up though. This is only an obstacle. You can pass this test. Maybe you can try using Suzanne's study plan. The majority who use her plan pass the exam. Just a suggestion. I wish you the very best. :icon_hug:

Hi Lena,

Can you share with me Suzanne's plan? I am fairly new here in this forum. People speak highly of Suzanne's plan and would like to know what it is also.

Thank you.

Hi :) The first thing you need to do is read the sticky at the top of this forum that says "The first tip of my new study guide" and follow its directions. Then after you've done that, PM Suzanne, the co-moderator of this forum, your email address and she will send her plan to you via email. Best of luck to you! :)
