Failed NCLEX 3 times...HELP

[Dkray]

Hey everyone,

If you are reading this you most likely read the title. Yes, I have failed my NCLEX 3 times and have gotten 265 questions EVERYTIME. At the moment I am feeling so discouraged and horrible. I just took my last one a week ago (1/29). I have tried ATI, Hurst, Kaplan. I have gotten near passing on all topics each time. I am just seeking some advice if anyone has been through or going through anything similar. I don’t know what to do or how to proceed but I know I don’t want to quit. Dows anyone have any advice? Know of any online tutors or programs that could be helpful?

Thank you in advance.

Don't give up! Focus on learning ways to systematically pick apart the questions to better understand what they're asking. Here's a helpful tip:

For example -

If a question leaves you feeling like you don't have enough information to make a solid decision on what you should do next, the likely answer choice could be in the form of assessment.

Always Assess First!

If a question gives you enough information that helps you to determine what you should do next, the answer choice could be in the form of implementation.

For instance what is the first thing you should do for a suspected fracture? Stabilize it! That's Implementation.

There's so many different ways to skin a CAT... but the best way to do so is to be cautious and clever. Critical thinking is truly the measure of success on the NCLEX.

Best of luck!
