Do you have any advice on passing RN boards?

Published

Hello, I am new to this but I am reaching out for help. I have taken my RN boards 4 times and have failed. I have studied and studied. I have bought book after book, taken review classes and I don't know what I am doing wrong. I did well... in college and thought I would pass the first time. Please... I am desperate if any body can help..

Thanks!!!

Yup. Suzanne's Plan. Go to the sticky at the top of this page and read it and then complete the first step. After that, and only after tha, PM her in the format she requests.

It works.

And good luck!

We suggest trying Suzanne's plan and perseverence. Just keep at it until you pass. Good luck.

You may not beleive it at first but you know Suzannes Plan really works. I picked up alot of books myself being that my sister and I both took up Nursing School and whatever she purchased to use in studying for her Boards was just handed down to me, but all of that stuff didn't work! I had Mosby's, Kaplan, Springhouse, Lipincott you name it..just a whole bunch of all different kinds of references that I didn't know where to start. When she passed with Kaplan alone I thot of doing the same thing and just sticking with Kaplan but it just didn't work out for me. My third attempt I tried Suzannes Plan and purchased Saunders and stuck to that alone and passed. Really it's frustrating I know, you think when is it gonna happen for me? And finally right before my eyes it did! It takes alot of work and really just perseverence, determination and a positive fresh new look at the exam if you want to pass. Think of it as your first time taking it. Don't look at the past attempts as something to bring you down but rather learn where you should study more on and pretty much tackle everything. Don't give yourself a reason to fail or any doubts when you go in there. Give yourself plenty of time in order to prepare, if it means giving up going out here and there and if you're really serious then there's no reason why you cannot pass. Trust things will work out and REALLY put in the WORK don't be cheating yourself. If you need any additional tips or advice i'm here. Feel free to send me a pm. Goodluck!

The above posters are in the US, not Manila.

Also most of the instructors at any of these centers have not taken the NCLEX exam and if they have, they have not worked in the US as an RN in almost all cases.

Worst thing that one can do to pass this exam is use too many books. what you need to actually focus on is the rationales and very few of them offer any good insight into them. That is why I only use one book in my program and nothing else.

I am willing to help you, but you are going to need to put every single book away other that what is asked for in the the thread at the top of this forum that contains the first tip of my program.

Follow that and then contact me, per the instructions there if you wish my help.

You can get thru this exam.

I would like to share that I passed NCLEX EXAM. I took the exam last Nov. 10, 2008. STUDY HARD,PRAY AND BELIEVE IN MIRACLES... My suggestion get at least one NCLEX book the new edition of KAPLAN or Saunder or NCLEX MADE EASY i think by Lippincot...read at least one of those books..the IMPORTANT THING is that you UNDERSTAND what you are reading and of course do practice exams...RESPECT the test. Read the book twice or even thrice...read the random fact throwing at this site as a guide.Don't forget the ABC's,ADPIE,MASLOW...PRAY IT REALLY WORKS...STUDY SMARTLY
