OHH! Sweetie, its going to get better, I promise. I failed my NCLEX too last month and I'm still waiting my 45 days. Look don't even worry about the last round with the NCLEX, you need to start looking towards the future NCLEX. Now look, you need to get organized and get your head back in the game. You need to study alittle every day, make notecards, take all the practice quizes you can find. You may need to time yourself so you can learn to pace yourself through a test and not run out of time. And don't feel ashmed that you failed because I learned that alot more people fail the first round then you think. Look, by the time this is all over with, you are going to be the best nurse because you worked so much harder for your dream. So keep you head up and put it in God's hands. He will bring the RN behind your name. :kiss

Hi There...I too just found out that I failed the NCLEX. It's a terrible feeling, but even after I took the test to wait the 48 hours for my results I had prepared myself to pass...and also to fail. Unfortunately I did fail, but I guess I just have to work harder next time. That is really the only thing that we can do right now. It was extremely hard, but now that we've got our feet in the water, we know how it feels... I wish you luck the next time you take it! :) Take Care!

I ran out of time and I failed the NCLEX. I spent days crying over this and I feel so desperated about the situation. I felt like I have let everyone who await for me to become an RN down. I am trying to leave behind this pain and begin to study again but it's so hard for me to focus because of the sadness.
I did the Kaplan and finished all the questions on the Q-bank. I really don't know what other resources I should use to prepare for the NCLEX.
Any word of advice and encouragement would be great at this time.

Im with you there. I wanted to tell my husband that I had passed the last time but had to form the words I didn't. I cried and it took a little time to get over and jump back to studying. I'm doing as many questions I can and looking at the rationals too. You learn from them of course. I'm using the Saunders CD. Why don't you try that now that you have already done the Kaplan. Making out notes like the other reply said helps. Try making them out into your own words so that you can get the information better stuck to you sometimes helps. Now you will be contunueing to learn more info that will help for the next test. I still get down at times, but I tell myself snap out of it. Being negative won't get me anywhere. I just want to pass and move on.
