Failed NCLEX three times

jejch1214 · Oct 13, 2009

ACCIO-are you kidding me??? I will take the test for the fourth time day after tomorrow. It was very hard to find motivation to study-i tried praying, i tried self help stuff, lists, etc, etc. I too have been out of school for over two years! Just finding someone else in the same boat is so freaking encouraging-i thought that i was the only one!!!!!!!! So, if I don't pass this time, I will attack for the fifth time with ZEAL-please be in touch with me, so that i know that there is someone else out there!!! PLEASE???? My human resource woman at the hospital i work at told me "well, you haven't passed it in three times, so you better start making plans after you fail it this next time!" i was absolutely HUMILIATED. It feels so encouraging just to know that there is another kindred soul out there. Thank you.

I have also failed NCLEX 3 times! This is devastating! I never knew that a test could hurt soooo much and take such a toll on your life. I absolutely studied for hours....practicing approx. 200 questions per day using Saunders, Mosby and Sylvia Rayfield! I was hoping eventually to pass but I'm more confused now than ever! I failed the first time at 180 questions, second time 253 and third time 75. I don't know what I'm doing wrong! And most of all, I have poured my spirit out to God for help.....NO RESULTS! Now I'm at the point to take the Kaplan Review Course. I will keep praying and hope to God that my prayers will be answered on the 4th attempt!!! If you believe in God and the power of prayer....Please Pray for me, AVSRN

Trust me Im right there along with you.. I am about to apply for round 4 of nclex rn and feel mre discouraged than ever before. Ive been anxious, nervous, depressed and every other emotion in the book... but as my priest said this past sunday in church.. your hardships and stepping stones in life only bring you closer to the struggles jesus over came.. it really made me think that if jesus could go through all that he has maybe just maybe I can pull myself together and take this test one more time.. Not to mention Im realizing that working retail and making a quarter of what I could be making totally sucks bc I get no respect or anything..

I believe in you and will add you to my list of prayers

Hey hey, I am in the same boat, only difference is that I have failed it twice. I failed last time in June 2005. So it has been well over 4 years. As of lately, I started thinking about it agin; and believe me it was not easy. I was so scared and hesitent to get ready for it again. I did, anyhow, make a decision of taking the exam again and started studing for it again. I sent all my papers and got my ATT. I enrolled in Kaplan and finished it on the 23rd of November. Today, 24th Novemeber 2009, I picked a date to take the exam again. It is December 16th 2009. I am very scared and excited at the same time. Some times, it feels like this is the time and I will pass it this time; but other times it feels so scary. What if I fail again? But I think we have to do it. We edured nursing school, our destiny is to be an RN. Easier said then done, but I am gonna say it "don't loose your hope and try again", May God be with you this time and good luck.

I have failed the NCLEX three times and I find myself extremely hesistant to start studying again. It's been over a year since I have graduated and my personal life has taken a turn for the worse. I'm afraid of failing again. I don't want to give up, but everytime I think about the NCLEX I get so anxious. It's almost like I'm having panic attacks. I just don't know what to do anymore.

I had failed three times just like you. I work two jobs.Had family issue. I was so depressed when i know i did not make it on the third try. But i did not give up. I go through the allnurses.com search the information.I bought the Kaplan strategy,kaplan medicine you need to know and linda lacharity 's Prioritization Delegation&assignment books.I go through all that books after I got home from work.I work at least 60 hours a week. I try the really hard to fellow the path I plan to go. Also something light me up too. I did the comprehensive test on the CD from kaplan book first time. I got around 60% right. My husband try to do it after me.He got almost like I got .He never go to any medical related school at all. This light me up.The nclex-rn test is for enter level nurse. A lot of the answer and questions is really not that hard.If you fellow the common sense.It that can be happen in the really life.I mean you are the patient.Do the RN say that to you ,when she give you the teaching thing.beside You need to remember ABC,Maslow's and so on ... fellow the kaplan strategy.

I failed two times with 75 questions and onr time with 132 questions before.I give the fourth try.I passed this week with 75 question.the last try is turn over.

So do not give up. fellow the plan you have. you will pass finally.

Hope you good luck:up:

Some people just are not good "test takers"--this doesn't mean you are not a great nurse! Relax, take a deep breath, and don't read too much into the questions. Usually the first response that comes to you is the correct one. Don't second guess yourself. Keep trying. You will succeed.

Do not give up!!!

you went to school and passed your nursing classes, so you CAN pass this exam.

it will be worse if you did not keep trying; I heard a couple of stories of some employees at my job, who passed nursing school, and gave up after once failing the test, and I trully feel for them, but they gotta get up and try and try untill they pass.

think.... if she can do it (think of someone in your class) then you can do it too!!
