Nursing Students NCLEX

I failed my first NCLEX attempt. Does anyone have suggestions as to what I need to study more? Maybe what worked for you? Thanks in advance!

Virtual ATI, and my screen cut out at the full amount of questions. I got the results in the mail and it said I was close in all subjects but clearly not close enough :(

Oh...we had to do ATI in my school, and we hated it. I don't think ATI is even written by nurses. Thats why I choose Kaplan. The video's and the book, helped me sooo much to put all of what I learned back in my head.

Are you going again?

Please give Kaplan a shot, its expensive...but it is worth it.

Sorry that you did not pass :( Our school too used ATI very very heavily..we had ATI exit exams every semester & had to homework modules from ATI as a part of our grade. In some ways I think ATI is a little bit helpful, but out of all the resources I used (ncsbn 3 wk course, ati, saunders 4e, youtube videos, allnurses guide, and kaplan), the NCLEX questions resembled Kaplan questions. Good luck on your next attempt :)
