i took my boards for the second times on the 7th of march and i felt really good about it when it cut off b/c i believed i would finally pass this time. i graduated in 2005 and its just been really hard this year knowing all my friends passed and i didnt. the first time i had 75 questions and this time i had 100. i got my report back and it said i was below passing in 3 areas: physiological adaptation, reduction of risk potential, & psychosocial integrity. my friend told me about this site and i was hoping i could get any advice. yesterday when i got my letter i was so upset b/c i have been waiting for it for days and the reason i hadnt got it is b/c my husband got it out of the mailbox and didnt give it to me. he said that he didnt want to upset me. i then paid to take it again in 45 days. i feel a little better this morning about it but im still so mad. i just feel like all nursing students work so hard in school, (i mean it takes over your life for 2 years) then you get out and study hard again and still cant work. i just sometimes feel like i cant win for losing. please anyone who dont think im crazy or just feeling sorry for myself, help me and pray for me to do it the next time.
p.s. any tips or sites where i can get any, please respond
I took the NCLEX-RN twice and failed. I only did 75 questions. I felt it depressing but it was okay. I wasted some money taking useless online courses but now met an outstanding tutor. :balloons: That was the key!
Thanks for all the support. Im eligible to take the boards again April 27th. But i really need to study harder before then. I just need to get over failing it first but not take too much time feeling sorry for myself. Im getting better tho and this site ahs really helped me. i believe by the end of this week i will be ready to jump back in the game. i am gonna get the saunders book and do questions in it and still review the kaplan book also.
I failed the Nclex my first time around and just found out today that i passed the second time with 75 ?s!!! I was so depressed for like ever when I found out I didn't pass the first time. I was more embarrased than anything, b/c I already had a job in the ICU and already in the Critical Care Residency!!! (very embarassing) They let me be a Unit Secretary within the unit and I was able to continue to go to the Critical Care classes twice a week, which helped also. But I just wanted to say keep your head up b/c it happens so much more than most people think. I just couldn't believe it was me when it happened!!!! which I am sure is what you are thinking!!!! GOOD LUCK and keep your head up and YOU CAN PASS!!!
Congratulations Cort.... Thanks for your support. I really appreciate it. I have been praying for it and my family are, friends and even my preacher. I know i will pass when god is ready for me to. This site has really helped with the depressed feelings that i have. The 1st time i took it i was so upset i didnt answer the phone or return any calls for a week. This time around i am handling it alot better. I think its the support of all the people i have met on here. Thanks to you all and God Bless You. Again Congrats Cort.. See i prayed for you the nite before you took it and while you were in there taking it and my prayers paid off. Your an RN!!!
I am following Suzannes program and you need 6 weeks just to do the questions on the CD. Look into it. I have read that a lot of people have had a lot of success with it.
Thankyuo i will definately talk with you again. when are you taking yours again. I am gonna try and take it the end of april for the 3rd time. This site is really helping me.
I just graduated in Dec of 2005 and failed my test the first time also. I was about to give up and something told me to hold my head up high and try again and i am going to take my test again April 10th. I have my family and friends praying for me. I know what you are going through and i will pray for you. Good luck. Pray and he will answer.
Hi angel, we're on the same boat here too.. Took the board twice already but failed.. The thing is I went through all 265 questions in both times..I was the last one in the testing center, and that's real pressure right there... I felt devastated after I found out the results, more so the second time.. I felt like I haven't learned anything.. I feel you, angel1979... Hopefully we'll both pass the third time around.. Let's keep our fingers crossed and believe that this is just God's way of making us stronger.. I just keep on telling myself that everything happens for a reason.. This is just His way of molding us, by putting us through the fire.. WE CAN DO THIS, ANGEL, IN JESUS NAME... :)
btw, when are you planning to take the exam again??
I'm eligible to take it April 23rd. But i havent even scheduled it yet. i think i may need more time before i take it again. I ordered the saunders books online and its a big book. I havent got motivated yet to even study it much. I talked to my old nursing instructor the other day and she told me not to wait to long to take it again or i would forget everything i learned so far. She felt like i wasnt far from passing it, since my letter said i needed improvement in 3 areas. Thanks for caring and understanding and i know that we will pass when God wants us to. I just got alot going on right now cause me and my husband want another baby and we havent had any luck. I'm taking medication to get me pregant and i really pray that i can have another baby. That's the most important thing to me right now, then the boards.
