You first need to analyze why you're not successful. You should have received a breakdown of the competencies that you had difficulty with. Is there one that stands out, or are you struggling with all of them? Is there a clinical area where your knowledge base is weak? Those should be your focus.

Perhaps you have some stumbling block with multiple choice exams. There are many strategies for figuring out how to select the most appropriate response. There are some good tips here: http://www.uleth.ca/edu/runte/tests/take/mc/mc.html and here: http://www.studygs.net/tsttak3.htm .

Your posts suggest a lack of attention to detail. There are typos, grammatical and spelling errors that could be part of your difficulty. Perhaps you could be just a little more careful?

its up to you.. in my point of view, since it is your last chance maybe you give some time to study... PM me and give me your e-mail. maybe i could give some help if you want.

i know you will make it next time. i understand how you feel this time. i hope you will feel better.

to PiRN:

i cannot send PM's here. just PM me your e-mail and ill get back to your queries. maybe i could also extend help for you. where are you from?

anyone from vancouver who got theirs?

[Ashnurse]

ms. Hopeful, you defiantly need to take the time and figure out where you are going wrong. I know how you feel. I failed the June 2011 exam because I did not take the time to study. what worked for me was taking a break from my life. I had to take a month off work to study (even though I really couldn't afford to). I studied everyday for as long as I could before the exam and I got a nursing tutor for one week. I had to Do a lot to pass my second time, because I am not good at exams.

Please do not give up, do whatever you have to do to pass. If I can help you in anyway please let me know. I completely understand how you are feeling, take sometime to take in the fail mark, analyze the report they sent you and go from there.
