DESPERATE for help!

Hello!

Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

But I graduated with my bachelors December 2013. I did well in nursing school, never failed a class or anything.

Well I have failed boards 5 times. I took them a month after I graduated when I was 9 months pregnant & failed. Then again every 3 months since then. I have also moved quite a few times in between. I have taken Kaplan and hurst. I need help. I don't know what to do at this point. But all I know is I need and want to pass so I can have my dream job.

Thank you!

    Well, why do you think you keep failing? Is it because you don't understand the material? Are you studying enough? Do you have test anxiety (although I think you would have already passed if this was an issue)?

    You need to identify your weaknesses and allow yourself adequate time to study. You can take all the review courses in the world but they won't help if you can't apply what you've learned. So figure out where you need help first.

    I failed my first NCLEX too. It's important to identify your weaknesses first and brush on those. Some materials you just have to know it, it's just knowledge based. Kaplan will not help answer every question on NCLEX. I know sometimes anxiety can get the best of you, just take practice exam daily and pretend that you are in NCLEX testing environment and try to do about 50 questions a day. I know I wouldn't be able to pass the second time if I didn't study my materials again, because not all questions are asking you priority, some are asking your knowledge about medications, the side effects to watch out for. Those are content you need to know. Please PM me for my notes if you need them. Good luck!
