Published

I'm so lost what to even study for now.. I've wanted to be a nurse for 3 years now.. then I get my results back, talk about a low blow. My wifes supporting me saying I can take it again, yes I can. I have Davis Nclex book full of questions, but obviously missing something if I didn't pass. I had the 205 questions.. grrr :scrying:

Honey, just relax for a week and then revisit what and how to study.

I'm sorry.

Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Getting 205 means you was doing good so probably just missed out. I would try another book, I prefered Saunders and passed on third time, but find something that works for you. The book you have at the moment isn't working for you so change it. Keep practising questions and only read up on an area if you find you are having problems answering the questions (why I say Saunders Comprehensive review as it has good review material) and read the rationales

You can do it so don't give up

Good luck

keep yer head up. i know exactly how you feel. i took my test (pn) in ohio on the 23. had the max. 205 ?'s just as you did. boy did i ever feel stupid. i felt like i never even went to school. the ?'s, to me , i thought were very hard. i'm studying 'lippincott's review for nclex-pn, 8th edition'. i'm finding that the set up of the ?'s are very similar to the way they were on the nclex. check it out and see what you think. i'm waiting for a kaplan book to come in to the book store, should be in tomorrow. hopefully that one helps too. i'll let you know, but definately check out lippincott's
