fail nclex retake in august 2008

[almostarn]

i took the nclex in june 2008 and failed using kaplan. the reason i think i failed is because i was remebering kaplan rationale and not actually studying. I retake the exam august 2008. so basically what im doing is doing 50 questions in saunders q/a every day, answering 25 ?s in prioritizing, delegation, and assignment per day; and reviewing my precautions. can you give me input on my studying materials. thanks

I am a newbie here, I was reading the posts and realized I am NOT THE ONLY ONE!!!!!!!OMG I feel all alone in this failing of the nclex world and everyone in my studying group from school passed and are working as nurses.

I see the most reccommed is the Saunders, what is the exact title, ed, and ibsn#? If any one has it please pass it on I will appreciate any help with my situation. I currently spent $500 kaplan, $300 test&BON, $70 for ncsbn (and my computer shut down w/virus before I could finish), loss new grad job... still have my sanity..priceless.

Saunder's Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-xx

If for the RN test, then you want the 4th edition.

If you completed Kaplan, then they owe you a refund since you did not pass. This is one of their guarantees.

Best of luck to you.

i took kaplan twice and still didnt pass. im going to try the saunders 4th edition. hope this works. i know my stuff. i think that maybe it could be my critival thinking skills.

I was just thinking to try something else too i.e. saunders, b/c I also took kaplan class and had comp. acess and did not pass.

Hoping that the OP has retaken the NCLEX and passed by now.
