Failed NCLEX 75, Passed at 76

Published

I just waned to write a message to those who are struggling with the NCLEX. I struggled during nursing school a lot, so studied for the test for a long time before feeling so what ready to take it and still failed at 75. My CPR was not above passing for any categories. Everyone says if u fail at 75 it basically means you have no hope. I did not give up. I did a lot of practice questions and took it again. This time I stopped at 76 and was so worried. I was freaking out for the 48 hours waiting for my results, but I paid the $8 and saw the PASS words.

So, just because you fail at 75 does not mean you can't pass. You can do it too!

Thank you. The second time around I focused all my attention on practice questions. I probably did 150-200 a day. I would read all the rationales, even if I got the question correct. I also would look up videos on disease that I would come across that I did not remember. I did the Saunders questions and the LaCarity questions. It was all very helpful.

And good luck ashake. I'm sure you did great! I know it is horrible waiting for your results, but keep your head up. Do things to distract yourself!
