Failed my Nclex-PN any sugguestions?

Published

Throught out the LPN program I struggle a lot it didn't come easy for me. I graduated in May. I tested on July 30th. I failed. I study for two weeks and I was more focused on memorizing facts and doing questions not looking at the rationals. Obviously it didn't help! When I took the Nclex I was worry about the time I was nervous and somewhat calm. Most questions I didn't kno what to pick, just like the nursing test at school. After failing I took 2 months off I was just depressed. I couldn't belive I worked so hard for nothing. But to be an LPN I need to pass. The first time I studied Lippincott(sucks!!!!), Davi's, and Comprehensive review for LPN. Four of my friends said do Exam Cram and Kaplan online course($400). Kaplan passing rate is 98% according to the website. I wanna do kaplan's review course online b/c for one I think I forgot nursing content. "What your not learning you are forgetting" I been out of nursing school for about 4 months!!! I guess at the beginning I just wanted to take my chances and pass. Now I really want to pass the second time. But since I know everything comes hard for me I dont kno what to do. Please leave me sugguestions of books you have heard are good to study. And do u guys think I should do the Kaplan course???
