Failed nclex

Published

Hello Everyone,

This is my first time posting on this forum, although since studying for nclex I've read alot of encouraging threads to obtain information on what is a good source to review. Although I'm devastated that I recently failed the nclex, I remain faithful that my season will come and I will recieve that pass status (but I must admit it hurts alot)!! I am just seeking advise today on study methods, I have never been the good test taker, yet God has brought me this far. I've studied with Uworld, Hurst, Kaplan, Saunders with and overall percentage ranging from 50-70%, so I'm at a loss as to what to do.

Thanks for responding to my post

Hello,

Yes I have my CPR already and I no longer work full time so I have been devoting 3 hours to studying each day. I try to do a minium of 75 questions in all areas. I'm truly trying to figure this thing out, I feel like my life has been on hold.

Thank you for responding

I took the NCLEX Saturday and found out this morning that I passed. It was a huge relief, especially since at least half if not more of my questions were SATA, my weakness. I used Uworld and also purchased the most recent Saunders book and a prioritization book, both of which were very informative. I loved Uworld, the rationales helped explain a lot. As far as the actual NCLEX, I left feeling bummed out because the amount of SATA questions was inhumane and I thought for sure there was no way I was passing, even when it cut off at 75. I don't know how the exam is scored. Continue to study and you will pass the next time around!

Whether you finished in 75 or 265, everyone walks out feeling defeated. I know great nurses who repeated a semester, or repeated NCLEX, or just flat out quit nursing school then came back once they felt more confident. It's hard now cause your world is upside down, but regroup, focus on what you think you could've done better, spend more time studying and if you have to, take one of those courses.
