I have failed the nclex 4 times...dont know whats going on? I have been really depressed for months...and now iam taking lexapro...so far ive been on it for 2 weeks after receiving my results in the mail. Got any suggestions of how to study and how everyone passed their boards? :stone. thanks
I'm sorry for feeling that way, you can vent it out if it will make you feel better but I hope you'll still try, I've seen nurses who are not as stressed and maybe if you find your "niche" in nursing it wouldn't be that bad. Been to Dubai, an exciting place to visit but not for work because of the culture. Goodluck!

Hang in there. I took my boards this past friday on the 8th and I don't know my results yet. I did part 1 of Suzanne's plan and some of part 2 (I didn't do part 2 for the full 45 days) but I feel like part one helped me with content. I also used the Prioritization and Delegation book b/c this is frequently tested. Go over rationales and don't give up. You can do and will pass the NCLEX :loveya:

I imagine you have quite a bit of anxiety before you take your exams. That was definitely my problem when I failed the NCLEX this past May. The hardest thing is to believe in yourself. You can pass the test.
What study materials are you using? What is your study schedule like? Have you gone through Suzanne's plan?

Have you checked into Suzannes plan?? I am doing the first part and it helps to read the rationales even if you get the question right. I am sorry this is so hard on you...I think it is for everyone. Just don't give up, you've come too far to let this keep you down. This test does not define you as a nurse and does not mean that you are not a good nurse. Stay positive, and good luck....
I'm taking this from a previous post of mine
1) Suzanne's plan (Saunders Review)
2) P & D book---this is how NCLEX wants you to think
3) Questions (make sure to review rationales to right and wrong answers)
***I wrote rationales on a notebook but I didn't get a chance to review them, please make sure to review your notes***
4) Lippincott Q &A book
5) Lots of questions
***Don't give up you can do this***:loveya:
well, today I received my failed result for the second time, these bastards are collecting money the bad way, they know that many people are doing the test over and over again. this is gonna be my last time doing this. I will go to Dubai and get double the money without tax for nothing, no boards, no exams, nothing. I only had nothing from this country but pain, misery, wasting money for nothing, and lie promises. well my advise to everyone of you who has no luck just like me, Nursing is the worse profession to do, stress all the time, before and after working. I've been an oncology nurse in my country for 4 years, and nothing just NOTHING. I HATE NURSING AND NCLEX...NO MORE
No offense but I hope you aren't working as a nurse now. If you hate it that much you really should move on and find something else to do. Nursing is a commitment of your mind and body...you need to have your heart in it because your patients deserve that. There's not much worse then a nurse who is miserable caring for somebody at a time they are vulnerable.
I really don't like hearing people so negative about nurse and then they continue to work in the field. It also doesn't give nurses a good name. All it takes is one nurse with a horrible attitude to effect a patient for a long time and turn them away from getting the help they may need.
I'm sure I'm going to hate NCLEX. There were many times I hated nursing school. There will also be moments at work that I won't be very happy but I hope to never hate it. The day that I hate it is the day I look for a new job.
Patients deserve a medical community that cares and want to be there. I've been dealing with the medical community a lot due to special needs kids. There isn't much worse then having somebody who is supposed to care and want the best for my children showing us no compassion and clearly not giving it their all.
I have been a member here and this web site helped me a lot regarding nclex. I didnt make it the first and the second tries, like others, i hated Nclex, and I hated myself and even blame my family for my test results. Hectic sched, too many stuff to do etc etc...The last time I took nclex, I stopped thinking about other stuff. I focused on reviewing. I reviewed for 4 hours x4 days, altho I have been doing Suzanne's plan , the last four days are the days I really focused on answering questions, analyzing why A is right and not B or why C is better answer than D or E or A etc etc...I freed my brain with outside stress. It helped. When I took the test, although I am scared, I feel calmer than before. I prayed and finally, December 24, I passed! Suzanne's plan helped me a lot, I did my best and finally hit the jockpot! I didnt loose hope. Now that I am a full pledge nurse, I still complain, infact, I sometimes hate nursing and sometimes I wanted to ditch my super difficult patients, but most often, I feel good knowing that I helped them recover. Dont loose hope guys. It will not just give you big bucks, but will also give you a sense of fulfillment in many ways...So hang in there tight....
