Failed Nclex RN 3 times, I don't know how to answer these ques

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

This web site helped me pass the nclex PN exam, but I have failed the Nclex RN 3 time now and I don't know what to do. I need a private tutor but I don't even have the money to pay for a private tutor.

Please help me know how to answer these questions :( I really don't know what I need to do the fourth time am taking this exam

I have used Sanders and Kaplan all the three times and I know the answers to the questions that I don't think I can use them any more.

I have got 265 questions for the three times and the results all say am close to passing which does not even help me. I really don't know what am doing wrong.

Please help me tell me what helped you pass the 2nd, 3rd, 4th 5th etc times

I used Kaplan and it was confusing for me. I did better using Hurst, Feuer, ATI, and Davis RN Success. I primarily listened to content from 1 source as it would be confusing otherwise, Feuer. Where my scores were low, I used Hurst if I could not get it with Feuer. For testing my knowledge, I used ATI. Since I had ATI in school, I did practice questions in weak areas with Davis RN Success which is an excellent book. The key is to understand basic core concepts, what are the side effects, nursing interventions, and safety measures a nurse must be aware for major diseases and major drugs.

When I found a weak area which I found by having a low test score in that area, depending on how low I would relisten to content, and then take test questions specific to the area I was weak on. I did this until I was able to get a consistent passing score. Then I retested the whole area again on ATI to make sure I had a passing score. When I relistened to the content, I defined words I did not understand, watched videos to see what was being discussed, drew pictures, and did practice quizzes to learn in an interactive matter.

I did this for each and every weak area. That is an area that showed below a certain percentage. I broke my areas down the same way I learned them med surg, ob, peds, psych, and pharm. I checked for overall content low areas, and also for nclex breakdown by subject matter.

Im so bummed I have taken my test three times and have failed now I have waited a year to try to take it the forth time. I am petrified!

Sorry to hear that. Can you take the LPN or CNA exam? Even if you are not licensed some experience as a home health aid, cna, LPN, phlebotomist, etc would be great. Even if you took some other certification to get you into a hospital or health care facility would save you time since you would be able to select the facility you want, and then when you get your license you could just transfer over.

Do u still have your notes for nclex?Hi do u still have your notes? Can u email too pls. [email protected] thanks

Dont give up! i failed 3 times too and the 4th time I passed!!! just found 1 week ago! Used Kaplan and ATI but didnt work for me. Some of my classmates recommended NCSBN and that totally helped me. First i read the Saunders 5th ED. book twice from front to back, then reviewed notes from random people ( ill forward it to you give me your email), then I took the NCSBN 3 wk review course, I also practised La Charity Prioritization book. You can do it!!! I did it! you can too!!! good luck!!!

Hi Shabans,

well I failed three times and have been an RN for 2years. Would love to help you out and see if theirs anything I can do. While I was studying and trying to figure out the correct way I wished I had someone reach out to me directly to help me so I want to do this for you. Find me on Facebook The Registered Murse and direct message me. I'd love to help you and anyone else who needs it. I've been where u have been and it doesn't feel good.
