took the exam today but honestly saying i failed the exam. Am so desperate and down now dont know wht to do.......God help me
I have heard many people say that they don't think Kaplan is a good preparation for the NCLEX. So I know there are a lot of mixed reviews out there but I would recommend the Virtual ATI offered by ATI. I used it to study for my NCLEX and thought that the questions were immensely comparable. They aren't extremely wordy like Kaplan's questions tend to be. If your willing to spend the money its a great review course. Many of my classmates utilized it and have all successfully passed their NCLEX. If you need any other information about ATI just let me know. Good Luck on your future exam! You just have to keep reminding yourself that you can do this!!
This is the link for NCLEX 4000. Its free, you can download it
Don't beat yourself up. Its done. Time to move forward. I've had some spectacular failures and it's hard. My best advice is to only study what you don't know. I copy out the questions and answers about stuff I don't know and don't worry about the rest. I'm currently studying for the certified emergency nursing boards, which is like an nclex just for er nursing. I passed the PN and RN this way. Most of all calm down, you are clearly freaking out. You are allowed to freak but then have to move forward. Trust me on this one, I've failed tests, got kicked out of traditional nursing school, failed my CPNE for my RN (see EXcelsior college) and was fired from my last job last June. And I'm still here. Feel free to pm me with any questions.

yeah thats what i felt too when i took mine last nov but i know what subj i failed as soon as i left that room. i didnt really know how to prioritize and the safety measures. i dont know kaplan but i think its the same with saunders. we just have to really read and understand whats the meaning of the rationales and we will do just like the others did to pass
lets stay positive and calm down.
to be honest im freaking out up until now because of the result. i took a classroom review and they kept on saying if u get those kind of questions ull pass. heck i answered what they answered to those questions but i flank at safety, i dont know who to put into what room and what to do. i never actually read the cdc website for safety and so now i did. hopefully ill remember them when i take that exam the 2nd time and hopefully i will never ever have to seat for that exam ever again.
no worries if we got those kinds of questions it means that were close to passing. it means that few more reviews and we will pass. thats how its gonna end. WE WILL PASS! if they can pass we can also pass.
we 'll start off by studying in the subjects that we lack and then review everything else that we think might be on the test. lets stay positive kuya!
