Completely Devastated: Didn't Pass on My 5th Try

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi. I just checked my results today online for the NCLEX-RN. Unfortunately I didn't pass for the 5th time.:crying2: I thought this time I felt more prepared but still I didn't make it. I don't feel like I want to study and review anymore since the holidays are coming up.

What do u think I should do? :stone Should I relax the next few wks. since the holidays are coming up or should I start reviewing right again to take my next exam? I'm already devastated as it is but I can't be down forever. The only way I can go from here is up. I'm not giving up until I become a RN. I want this so bad even though I didn't get the results I wanted. Maybe the 5th time wasn't God's time for me. Maybe the 6th will be the charm...

Please give me your opinions and some words of encouragement. :up: I could really use it. Much thanks appreciated! God Bless!!!

dont give up i failed twice already and i am still not giving up! keep you head up high

Before retaking the test I would want to know WHY you are failing? Do you not know the material? Are you a nervous test-taker? Is language a problem? Have you checked out the test results to see which areas you're having problems with?

Am so sorry to hear that you didn't get the news you had hoped for. I do agree with the other posts that you should at least take a break during the holidays and start again next year. Remember you will only lose if you stop trying. You are an inspiration to others who don't have the courage to share their stories. I am wishing the best for you and pray that during a time like this GOD gives you total peace.
