failed nclex for the third time

You graduated nursing school, but you do not know how to prepare for a test? Simple. GET SLEEP before you take it. Or...learn from what has not worked. You SHOULD feel down and it certainly isn't smart to keep doing the same thing over and over and not changing what you are doing. You want "positive advice"? What does that even mean? Like tell you everything is going to be "ok"? Well that isn't reality. It isn't just going to be "ok". OR...keep doing the same thing you are doing and expecet to keep failing it. It is up to you..not "positive advice". You are a college grad you should be smart enough to know how to alleviate ineffective test taking.

Take a review course, study, and do practice questions. That's all I did and passed the first try with 75 questions. Nursing isn't for everyone and just wanting to be one isn't enough. As I mentioned on several I failed multiple times threads the NCLEX tests for the minimum required to safely practice. Nurses deal with lives and there is a reason you need to pass a test. I honestly believe that like baseball it should be 3 strikes and done. These threads with 3-7 times failing are ridiculous.

hello everyone I don't know whatelse to do to prepare for the boards I have been working 2 jobs with one day off a week and I still studied but someone I couldn't retain the information...I was so exhausted that I was dozing off during boards. I'm feeling down and stupid because everyone has passed me and I'm still lingering. I'm starting tutoring next week in hopes that it helps. if anyone has any positive advice or insight please share. thank u for listening.

Feeling stupid should not be your problem...it looks like your issue has to do with working two jobs and not being able to get some decent sleep before taking the boards. If your end game is to be a nurse you have to take it seriously, take some time off of your two jobs and rest, so you pass your test. Geez

Sleep!!! Your brain doesn't work well when you are using all your energy to stay awake.

If you cannot stay conscious during the NCLEX you are guaranteeing repeated failure. Period. Rest up. Get a full nights sleep before you test to have the best chance. All the 1:1 tutoring will not make a single bit of difference if you are nodding off during the exam.

I'm positive you need to be well rested to be successful
