Any 2nd or 3rd time test takers?

fahdy · Jul 9, 2008

I graduated in late 2005 I have taken the NCLEX twice already,I have always been a good student,I have always been in the top of my class but I'am not so sure why this is happening to me I have read the materials more than twice,I would religiously answer the cd questions everyday...when I took the first time I got upset when I found out that I did not pass the second time I took it my pc stopped at 75 and I went home crying because I knew in my heart that I did not make it again.Sometimes I 'am losing hope but I just want to keep fighting because I want a good future for my family,my husband even if he doesn't say it expect a lot from me and I feel bad that at times I just break his heart by not passing the exams.
I will be taking the NCLEX for the 3rd time this coming spring...my family encourages me to take the local philippine board exams too after taking the NCLEX-RN I took that twice already too but I have not been successful in that test too.sigh.so that's like failing 4 nursing exams.I feel so stupid.But i have to stay strong.

hey! you can do it!! keep your head up high kabababayan. its my 3rd time taking this exam and i know i can do it, you can do it just keep pushing and asking for God's grace have faith. :specs:

Today is the day things will start to go right. Now is the moment when life can begin to be the best that you can imagine.
The time has now arrived for you to make real, substantial and lasting progress. For you are, without a doubt, ready, willing and able.
The past is no longer in a position to hold you back. This is a new day, and every disappointment is already far behind you.
Ahead, there are possibilities too numerous to even count. Look closely, with your heart, and the best of those possibilities will come shining through.
There is no reason to hold yourself back any longer. This is your moment to shine, this is your day to live with fullness, with richness, with joy and with love.
This very moment, all of life surrounds you, supports you, encourages you and pulls you toward the best you can be. Dive in to the golden opportunity that is now, and know how it feels to be fully alive.
P.S.
You And I Will Be A U.S. R.N. Soon In God's Grace!

YES AND AMEN!!! Thanks for your encouragement!

frenchpress..I just want to say that I understand what you're going through. Please don't lose hope..I feel deepy for what you are going through. I admire the commitment and dedication that you are putting after 3 years you're still here. Please don't feel bad, and put your head up. Just think that there will come a day that all of this will be in the past. Everything worth keeping and attaining in life is hard to get. Hang in there, I'm still here hanging on even though sometimes I feel as if my dreams are fading as time goes by..I'm not giving up. I'm trying again and so should you. If you need someone to talk to i'm here. I'm trying Suzannes plan, maybe you should try it too.

I am now trying to piece together my life after failing it the second time since it puts off not only my future college plans but also my husbands. It also of course throws off our money situation. It is so frustrating and confidence shattering. I read somewhere else that it used to be in 5 parts and you had to wait 2 months for results, the the CAT is better in the way that it's faster but it isn't really testing our skills for what we'll use with patients so it is terribly frustrating that my GPA doesn't match at all with my two fails that Pearson has posted.

Hey!!!!!!! Hows Suzannes Plan Going For Ya ?everyone Has Said Good Things On Here About The Plan And I'm Studying Saunders Doing The First Tip So I Can Get Involved.

all we can do is study harder and do better. i too have lots of pressure from my husband and kids, so i understand all that pressure. maybe try not to think of everyone else, and do it for yourself. thats what i'm trying to do atleast.

I will be taking the NCLEX for the second time in September. I took some time off... and going to get back on the boat to study. Good luck to all those who have not yet beat the NCLEX. We may have failed but we are still fabulous!!!!

There should be a seperate group on here for people who have to take it again.

We have monthly support groups that members taking exam in that month can support each other. When retaking the exam you should approach it as if taking it for the first time, therefore no need for a separate group

Good luck

You are not the only one... I am in the same boat. I know how hard it feels, but I keep telling myself it will get better. I didn't work this hard in order to just give up. Chin up you'll get through it and be a better person for it.

Suddenly I'm getting advice from non-nurses as to what I should do ie cram another test in asap before it starts to affect my long term goals in life. That was my plan when I took it the second time and that's why I decided to do it differently for the third time even though it's going to largely affect things. It got a lot of blank stares and 'why would you do that's'. I think that is going to be even harder than hitting the books full blast again for me.

VANESSA WILLIAMS · Jul 18, 2008

I would try and get involved with Suzannes Plan thats what I'm trying to do at this point. I'm following her 1st tip so I can get to the point of using her Plan maybe you can try this as well.
