Failed with HURST & KAPLAN :(

Suns, I feel you! I also failed twice and tried almost all books, online and live reviews. I graduated Internationally on 2006 and unitl now I am still not a RN. I am not giving up though there are times that it makes me feel so down and about to lose hope. Lets just support one another and get back and think positive on how to pass NCLEX. I know its hard but in order to make your dreams come true, you must learn to accept that we failed and get back on our feet and move on. I took my NCLEX-RN on the 24th and tried the PVT and lead me to the credit card (bad indication). I still have to wait for the actual results on mail since my state doesnt participate with quick results. Goodluck to us! :nurse:

Suns, some people had failed twice as much as you have taken the nclex yet never gave up and eventually passed. You need to change your mindset first and foremost. Failing the nclex several times doesnt mean you are going to be a horrible nurse. Be positive, if people can pass on their 9th try I'm sure you can if you have the right attitude.

You need to clear your head, then come up with a plan and go for it again. Study as if you had never tested before, making certain that you cover every base.

I used Kaplan (live, and online), NCSBN and Hurst (online). Books: Saunders Compre, Q&A, Kaplan, La Charity and Hurst. I cannot judge the reviewers 'cause maybe it works for others but not for us. I also am so pre-occupied with so much: working full time (40 hrs), have a baby and just taking the exam just to get over with it. If I receive the mail, I then will start studying again. Give more time for the studying or I will quit working instead.
