g:scrying: failed is what my result is. I'm trying to deal with and be strong but it is so hard. I worked as a gpn for a year and I thought I would b ok. Now I realize that I could have studied way more and now I have to face the reprocussions. I feel so stupid.

You're not stupid, you're human. Relax for a week or two, be good to yourself then pick up your NCLEX review books and start studying again. Some of the best nurses I work with failed the first and/or second time.

You made it through nursing school, you will pass NCLEX :nurse:

Thank you all. I'm trying to stay strong. It's just that I had been working as a gpn and I like what I do and now I gotta leave my job. But I'll just think of it like a vacation that I do need and I'll take this time to study. Thanks everybody.

keep it simple. i have been out of nursing for 7 years. i let my liscence lapse due to illness and i had to take the boards again. i studied, but i think i thought i 'knew a lot' from my 7 years of nursing. bad mistake. i failed, so now i am reeling from it. it was just last wednesday and i haven't cracked a book since... i will start this weekend again, i htink i've gotten over the disappointment. so you are not stupid. i was a frickin nurse and i still failed it!! i remember the guy saying, 'answer the questions according to the book and not your experience'. well, back to the books. i don't have the money to reapply right now, but when i do, i will take the full 90 days i need and am determined to pass it this time. hang in there, you aren't alone!!

It is devastating not passing the nclex and the thing is you're not alone. Many have not pass many times but they don't give up and they try again.

I'm studying for my 3rd try and I'm a working LPN with 10 yrs experience.

Like some I thought it was an ACE in the hole. It is hard. Some of my classmates are having the same problem.

Have a good cry and try again.:icon_hug:

thanks... i've noticed that a lot of us 'experienced' people have failed the rns... i knew a couple of lpns when i was in school 12 years ago who failed... and now me... there must be something to that. maybe we analyze or read into the questions too much... well, it's been 10 days, so i'm ready to formulate another plan...

I keep trying to find out what this 'Suzanne's technique' is, and I keep getting responses to look at 'stickies' and then responses that I'm not in the right place. I even tried 'pm-ing' her, which i had never done and don't think I did right. Oh, well. I'm off this computer for a while. Getting frustrated.
