I have the full story of my journey up in my page in another post. Long story short I graduated nursing school end of 2012 (dec) in Australia. Stayed an extra year as I got hired as a new grad on the med surge unit. When I moved back, had to retake peds/ob as my clinical hours weren't concurrent. After that I took the nclex without really studying. Failed it. Second time took Kaplan and failed and now just found out I failed it a third time. Last year was very tough family wise as we had diagnosis of cancer and a death in the family among other things. I put effort into this last time. A lot! I'm a horrible test taker with bad anxiety and though I was near passing on my results i feel defeated. It's a New Year and I'm ready to start again. I'm taking an online prep course as well as heard many good things about uworld that I'm gonna try.
my moms an RN and she's been pressuring me lately to take a break, go back and get my LVN work for a bit then go back and try. I don't think that's the best option. I'm in the zone now, and I will get it. Just have to keep going. Has anybody had any experience with this? I'm not even sure how the LVN program works if I already have my BSN? I'm just kinda lost. Nobody wants this more than me, and I keep telling my family I know they're frustrated but nobody is more than me.!8; they think I'm happy with my situation, well I'm obviously not. Any insight or advice is helpful!
I also knew some that reviewed with Hurst and still failed the NCLEX. I personally think you need to find a way to study the material that best suits you. I really did well with ATI because I like the testing format for reviewing. Some prefer reading over material rather than being tested on it. Find out how you learn best and tailor your studies from there.
