Failed the nclex, need help

Thank you everyone!

Congrats on passing!! I definitely plan on looking into hurst this time around, I've heard a lot of good things about it!

The Florida BON website has a place where you can look up your status post-NCLEX. For *most* people it is updated 24 hours after you take the NCLEX. It will either state pass or fail, and it is accurate.

Thank you, I will check into that!

Superman, you could never pass with only knowledge, comprehension. You always had to be able to demonstrate proper application of ability and proper analysis of a given situation. That's not new. The passing standard increases only marginally every three years; this covers the period of time a student is in school and their nursing programs should be preparing them to pass the exam the year that they graduate. There is no giant leap of difficulty every time the exam is changed every three years, there has been no radical change that would indicate it was easier one year than another to pass.

I'd recommend you do LaCharity's Prioritization and Delegation. You can buy the online access and get the exact same content that's in the book (I prefer online because answering a question and seeing the answer ASAP is better for me than answering 20 questions then flipping to the back of the book to look up the answers). It's not a teaching book -- it only has questions. But of all the things I used to study, nothing could kick my bum like those LaCharity questions. Some modules, I couldn't even get half the questions right. It'll really test you. The wrong answers are just as important as the right answers, too.

I used Hesi's Comprehensive NCLEX RN Review guide to study for my exit HESI, and I felt it did a really good job of concisely covering a review of all the things I learned in school. I used it particularly for psych, as it is one of my weakest areas. I'd recommend it as a good base of knowledge. I had Saunders and Davis' big comprehensive books, but those were just daunting to me, and to go through every bit of the around 1000 pages of material seemed like a huge waste of time. Focus on what you know you need, and get a brief review of everything if you can afford the time to do it.

Thank you so much! I will definitely look into all of your suggestions!

The nclex mastery app was really helpful for me. I took the nclex in 6/9.

I have research this exam; maybe if you reviewed Bloom Taxonomy you would have a better understanding on how the exam is structured......Thanks
