Any 2nd or 3rd time test takers?

SNtoRN · Oct 25, 2007

I am a firm believer in what you think about you bring about!! Have a positive outlook on passing the test and the rest will fall into place. I took the NCLEX 2X before I finally passed. I remember how frustrated I was when I failed so I can relate but the only thing that will help you pass is you! Have you ever considered private tutoring or a review class to help you out?? Be confident and STUDY YOUR HEART OUT!!!!!

hi everyone,

i too am writing for the 3rd time at the end of november. i am currently working on suzanne's plan, and hoping and praying that this will be my last time writing it! Good luck to all of you out there,and don't feel discouraged or alone! i know that's easier said than done (i mean i have days when i feel quite discouraged myself, and yesterday was one of those days!) but a little crying session usually works for me. and being able to talk about what we all are going through here definitely helps!

there's a reason behind everything! God works in mysterious ways....have faith and always remember, if something doesn't go our way, HE just may be protecting us from something and saving the best for last! i have to tell myself this often and hope it helps some of you out there!

I'm in the same boat, trying to figure out what will work for me, so I can pass this exam once and for all. Currently i am using suzanne's plan.

Hi, i am in the same boat too, which Saunder's book are you using( 3rd or 4th edition)?

thanks.

I haven't passed on my 2nd try recently. All I knew is I'll pass but after seeing the big envelop...I became disappointed...I cried for more than an hour thinking why others can pass so easily. I became depressed the whole day. I felt so embarrassed. After I woke up the next morning, I already feel ok. Good thing I have family and friends who supports me. I want to try again this December..I don't know if I'll gonna make it. But I'm praying and struggling on it. Hope I can make it this time..

I know how you feel. I took the test Tuesday, and got my results yesterday. I failed for the second time. I have cried nonstop for a day and a half. I even called in sick to work, and that is not like me. Now what? I am going to work in an hour, and I can't even stand the thought of facing everyone. UGH... THIS TOO SHALL PASS...

I am eligible to try again Dec 15... I am sooo nervous and really, I may just wait until after the holidays. Christmas is my favorite time of year, so I'm just not sure what to do. My husband has been so supportive, as my friends and family have, but I FEEL SO DUMB. And I know its not so.

ANY help, support, advice is greatly appreciated.

BUT we will make it through. We will be RN's... It will happen.

THANKS... And GOOD LUCK...

hang in there! I am writing for the 3rd time end of novemeber as well. i went through a very depressing phase after i failed the second time but eventually got over it. i'm studying now and sometimes still get quite discouraged if i do bad on the quizzes but then i have to remind myself that the calmer i stay, the more i'll learn, and the more practice i will have to stay calm during the actual exam. Not that i'm making excuses for myself, but the 2nd round i failed, i'm sure it was because i was so nervous. a few times i had to leave the room because i felt like i couldn't breathe! pretty brutal.... lol.

i am so thankful for this website as well, its so helpful to just let it out and know that you all actually know how i feel. i'm working on suzanne's plan and if u r planning on taking it after christmas, this may be a good plan to start now, because it does have a 2 month study regime. i've been working on it for a few weeks now and it is different then my previous study methods and there are many many positive reviews on her plan, that u might wanna check it out. let me know if you want more info on the first step u need to follow and how to contact her. take care!

hi everyone, i took my second time on the 24th and failed. I am just having such a hard time dealing with this. I am so thankful to have this website to meet others who are going through same situation. I was so angry at myself for failing again. I am going to try Suzanne's plan and today I did some chapters.

Thanks you all! Lets keep each other strong and we can all beat this exam.

What do you do when nothing has gone as you had planned? Adjust your plans and get going again.

What can be done when problems and interruptions have drained away most of the time in your day? Step back and smile, knowing that you're wiser and more determined than ever to move forward.

For you've just experienced how precious your time can be, and realized how quickly it can slip by. Allow that realization to sharpen your focus, and then aim that focus on where you intend to go.

What's done is done. You are where you are.

The worst thing you can do is to fret about the time that's been wasted, for that will only add to the loss. The best thing you can do is to get up and get going again, with a fresh determination to make real progress.

Move beyond the time you've lost, and make use of the time you have. You'll soon be so far ahead that your little setback will quickly be forgotten. :idea:
