Failed NCLEX

Published

Hey all,

I took my NCLEX this Monday and just found out I failed. I assumed I did after all my friends got their 'congrats' email and I'm just feeling pretty bummed. I started studying the week after I graduated. I bought a Saunders book (read front to back), NCLEX flash cards with rationales, I did all the ATI modules I had, I looked over old notes, I used the RN Mentor App on my phone, and I studied with friends. Before graduating we had to take a predictor test and I got a 95% chance of passing.

At this point, I don't know where to start again. I'm just bummed and already did my crying Tuesday. Throughout nursing school, we were told SATA and priority stuff indicated we were doing well, but from what I've read here, that's not actually true. I had 80 questions, with over 30 being SATA and the rest priority and a few math.

I'm just waiting for my official results to come in and figure out what I can do next. In the mean time, I would really love it if someone can give me resources to look at next. Hurst? Kaplan? UWorld? I'm thinking of take a 2 or 3 weeks off to let me brain rest before jumping back in.

Thanks in advance for any resources anyone can provide.

Taking a break is good. I liked Kaplan and felt it prepared me well. Best of luck.
