FAILED NCLEX RN

LadyFree28, BSN, LPN, RN · May 22, 2015

The issue may not necessarily the source of the review, but how one approaches the NCLEX itself: understanding the four concepts of becoming a competent, entry-level nurse:

1. Safe, effective care;

2.Health promotion;

3.Physiological Integrity;

4.Psychosocial integrity

Will determine WHAT the question is asking you; the question may be Respiratory related-but is it a Health Promotion or a Safety, or a Physiological or a Psychosocial one? Would you know the difference and choose the BEST answer?

Once one understands the concepts of NCLEX, they can do so successfully.

Don't look at content; you know most of the material because you passed nursing school; begin to do questions related to each concept; review all questions and rationales; ANY rationale you struggle with, THEN review content. Lather, rinse, repeat.

When practicing the questions, prepare the questions like a mock NCLEX exam, review the minimum and then work up to the maximum for endurance purposes.

After looking at your report, focus on the weakness and review questions and rationales; make mock NCLEX tests and start with the minimum and gradually until the maximum; you have to have an endurance in answering application questions.

After each "exam", make sure you are reviewing the rationales; any rationales you are not clear on THEN look up for content.

is there anyone here that has passed and no longer requires their account...I am broke and sad. Please help.

I'm sorry you failed. I loved the HURST review. However, you can't use someone else's account. It's a copyright thing and is against their terms of service. They made it clear at the live review what a big deal it is to do that. Sorry !

springchick1 is correct, you cannot use another individual's copywritten review material. You will have to arrange to purchase your own.

Good luck.

There are a number of pre-existing threads on how to deal post-fail, change your perspective in studying, and the like on the NCLEX forum. Have you looked there? You may have to scroll in a few pages to get past the repetitive threads by people who think their experience with the PVT is breathtakingly unique, but there is some good stuff there if you take the time to find it.
