Failed NCLEX

Published

Hey everyone, I took my NCLEX last week and I didn't pass. It was so difficult! I got a ton of SATA, it seemed like every other question was SATA! I received 250 something questions. I used the online Hurst review for about two weeks. Hurst is great with content information but in my opinion it did not prepare me for the questions I received on NCLEX. I went to Barnes and noble yesterday and purchased a couple books. Hopefully they are helpful (we'll see when I take the boards again on August 21st) I have started reading the Exam Cram which is a "Pearson" book. So far it's pretty good, I've already seen one question similar to a question I got on the NCLEX. I also bought the illustrated NCLEX review by Jo Carol Claborn, if your a visual learner I recommend it because it has drawings of people with a disease and funny ways to remember your content. I've been seeing people post about LaCharity. I Want to buy that book but is it worth it? How many questions should I be reviewing per day? I want to follow a strict study routine. Please give me some feedback:)

Good luck!

Thanks! This time I used Kaplan and only studied off of the trainer tests... I would take a test then go over every single rationale right or wrong and while I did that if I was unsure about anything or felt like I didn't know what the disease was or med etc., I would look it up and right it down. Doing hurst the first time was great to brush up on content but I failed the first time. I recommend going over practice questions daily because that actually helps you with content as well. Good luck to everybody:)
