Emotional breakdown failed Nclex

tflorn · Sep 14, 2007

and this too will pass. i know how frustrating it is to fail after all this time. i failed too on my 1st try, talk about devastating. i think everyone has the same emotions when they fail. i almost cried for you reading your post but i know there is hope for us. you must not be discouraged. i sometimes find myself in that zone wondering how i failed. i have found comfort praying and in using suzannes plan and hopefully you will consider using it too especially to see where you went wrong. have you ever used saunders 3rd edition?? i know its hard for you but read some of the posts here and know that you are not the only one. i plan on re-testing before the holidays come but as for now, i am doing 100 questions a day from the saunders cd and spending a lot of time understanding the rationales. it gets easier w/ practice i promise you that. i get discouraged sometimes too but i come here too allnurses for support a lot. take a few days and relax. i have come to the realization that know matter how much we want something, it never comes when we want it. when its time, god will see to it that all your hearts desires are fulfilled as long as you have faith that he will do it. its ok to cry honey, i cry all the time while praying and asking god to give me the knowledge i need to pass. after all of that is over, i go back to doing my questions on the cd and i feel a whole lot better. sitting home feeling sorry for myself was not answering any questions on that cd and just knowing that time was passing on made me start studying again. i will not re-test til i am done w/ suzannes plan and feel confident. i can truly say that im getting there slowly but surely. sorry so long but i felt the need to help. you will be just fine, i know you will.

Where are the stickies everyone is always talking about them but I dont see them.

At the top of the forum. Should say "Revised tip for Suzannes plan" or something to that effect.

well the top of my forum doesnt say that....is there anywhere else where I can learn more about suzannes plan?

Stickies are always found on the top of each page and always have sticky at the side of the title. As you look at the main NCLEX forum page it is the 3rd thread down. Titled new revised first tip of Suzanne's plan

Thank you all for the love and support. I think I am going to try Suzannes plan and take my time with that. Until then I guess I am going to just get another job.

Good advice Im using suzanne plan I have taking nclex 2x and going to take it again with a testimony this time. Have faith in yourself and check out suzanne plan. God does things to us for a reason which we will never know why. Know that ever thing happens for a reason and keep your head up and stay positive we all will achieve our goal have faith in yourself.

Have any of you had success following Suzannes plan if you had previously taken the nclex.

there are a few who have just passed using Suzanne's plan, if you have a read back you will find them, some have posted in the last couple of weeks on passing with her plan

bnparks: I too am sorry that you didn't pass your exam. The stress of this test often builds up to a great emotional release.

My date is in October, and I can feel the build-up.

You can also read about those who have taken Suzanne's plan by using the search feature within this site.

Best of luck in your studies. I commend you for picking yourself up and looking for another way to conquer the test!

Disappointment can be a gift that tells you much about yourself. Choose to benefit from it.

Disappointment is definitely painful, and yet that pain is there to get your attention and to make you aware of certain truths. Take the opportunity to understand those truths.

Disappointment stirs up feelings deep within you. You can use the energy of those feelings to push you forward, to motivate you, to recharge your spirit.

Disappointment is able to occur only because there are positive possibilities in your life. Use the occasion to explore, connect to and express the best of those possibilities.

There is a reason why certain events and certain outcomes cause you to be disappointed. Seek to understand that reason, and you will discover a valuable and abiding truth about yourself.

For every disappointment, there is a positive energy within you that makes the disappointment meaningful. Connect with that positive energy and you will move successfully beyond any temporary setback.

you know, it always seems that the things in life that you want most come the hardest. I have always had to work for the things that I want most in life but i am more grateful for them. I failed the nclex and am getting ready to take them again. What keeps me going is I know things happen for a reason. You worked hard to get to this point in your life. This is just a stupied test. I know we have to pass it to be RN's but we will, it will happen for us. Please don't give up though, it sounds like you worked way way too hard. There is so much support on this website, you are not alone. Hang in there

girlfriend you are not alone. i too have failed the nclex for the 3rd time. i feel your pain and understand what you are going through . since joining this forums for support i realize we are not alone and there is other people out there in the same boat. what i plan to do is relax and take a break for a few days . then i will start suezanne plans and study with NCSBN online course. maybe we can study toghter so lets keep our heads up becuase god did not bring us this far to let us down.
