Failed Nclex-PN

Any advice anyone? :/

Did you pay for your quick results?

I wouldn't bother with the PVT. Just pay for the results so that you can take a deep breath.

They said I will find out Tuesday (tomorrow). But so far everyones saying the PVT trick is very accurate. It took my card info. But at first it wouldn't. I'm sick over this. I'm trying to just clear my head but I just can't. Ugh, hate this.

I totally believe in UWorld all the way! Get good sleep, know your lab values, your signs and symptoms of diseases. Do UWorld. Take a snack and drink to put in your locker. Hold your head up HIGH and walk in with the "Nclex you are going DOWN today attitude!" I did Uworld and got my pass on my 5th try!! I was not giving up- and you will get it, just keep pluggin along!

Thanks NurseKari! I found out yesterday I failed. I got up to number 144, and heard that isn't too bad. But either way next time I got this. When I walked out I knew I failed. I wasn't prepared, and thought I was. I know most of the labs, but a few of them I didn't study when they popped up on the exhibit. Uworld is great? B/c I used Kaplan, and Nclex mastery, and failed. So I am hoping this is it. I am going to study 5 hours per day Uworld. I started today. Bought the 30 day. I am taking it in 40!

Hi there NurseLaura1978

I had ALOT of exhibits, and knowing all the lab values was so great! I still felt like I failed, I am not going to tell ya I didn't! I would've bet I did...the test was very hard to me. I had meds that I never heard of, some questions I made educated guesses, but Uworld DID help me so so much. I will also tell you I went in with NO drama this time. I had went thru a divorce and dealing with all kinds of drama before. I will tell you from what I did...I knew the basic meds, I knew my signs and symptoms of my diseases. I would ask myself is this safe?? Does it make sense? If I had to break that question down into 50 pieces to make sure my answer made sense, I did it. With all that being said...I STILL felt like I failed. My instructor said "if you feel like it was the hardest test you EVER took and felt like you knew nothing, you probably passed." This time I got it. BUT I still thought NO WAY did I pass this.

Seriously take the breaks if you get asked if you need one, or just raise your hand and take one. Sleep good. And snacks and drink! I loved Uworld, I read all the rationals even if I got the question correct. I worked real hard. You will too, and you will do this!!! Have faith and use your critical thinking!

I am so nervous. I feel like I was really close to passing. I was told with it turning off at 144, I was doing okay at one point. Honestly, I think a lot of it was I panicked. I should have taken the break. I did however use the bathroom, but I should have taken more breaks more often than that. I know some meds, but for some reason they confuse me. I purchased Uworld (30 day) and have been using that (on day 2) and it does look identical to the NCLEX, so it makes me feel like I'm really studying. I real all the rationales and I take notes. I flag a question that I need to go over again. When I am finished with all thousand-something questions, I'll redo them. I knew I failed the test, and honestly... when I hit question 100, I started kind of giving up and hate myself for that. My friends shut off at 90, and the other 120, so I started getting discouraged. I've heard people passing in the 200's, so this time I will not give up on any question. The select all that apply I am doing about 50/50 on in Uworld, but I had 20 on the nclex, at one point... I had 5 in a row... I was focusing on breathing. Maybe I should take my anxiety meds beforehand, b/c I think it also made me do poorly. Disorders, I feel I know some. But on Uworld there are ones I don't remember even learning....

I passed with the max. Just try to stay calm next time. Try not to panic. If you feel yourself panic...take a break and regroup. You got this! Remember I got the max amount of questions and passed. But I failed 4 times before...I took my drama in there with me that I was living ...this time I didnt. Although I still thought I failed, I didnt. Go get it girl!!

I had high anxiety...this time I put myself in a different state of mind. As if it were a gift to take it, not a dreaded chore. I don't know if it helped me, but I believe it did...along with UWorld.

Did you feel the content helped with uworld? Or more the test strategies? I felt like I knew maybe 10% if that of the Nclex. It was terrible. I did panic... I should have stopped and walked around. I also feel I rushed it b/c I was afraid of overthinking each question, but at the same time.. I don't think I looked enough. I'm only using Uworld this time... I don't want to confuse myself w/ a million different things, ya know?

The same thing happened to me and I passed! I was averaging like 50-58% on the Kaplan. I had 85 questions on the Nclex and the test shut off. I was the 1st one done and actually felt like there was no way I passed it seemed too easy and dare I say feel like the Kaplan questions were way harder then the Nclex... I'm so glad I did Kaplan it really prepared me!

I used UWORLD only and focused on every rationale. Pay attention to assessments, interventions, precautions, risk factors, complications and life threatening knowledge.
