Failed Nclex over 6 times

Hi Everyone, I would like to tell you guys about my nclex experience. Last time I've taken the nclex-rn exam was in March I failed with 265q. I had near passing on all categories. Its soo devastating failing this exam soo many times. I just don't know what to do. I plan on taking the exam again in September.

The reviews I have done are: Kaplan, Hurst, &Feuer review. The books I've used are: Kaplan, stratergies, ExamCram, Saunders, nclex 4000 cd, and etcs. As you can see I've used tons of things. I just purchased Lippincott Q&a and Remar's quick facts. Have anyone done Remar's Review? If so please let me know what you guys think about it. I'm opened for suggestions on anything. Please give me some advice on studying and critical thinking. Thx

Here is a post by "NewbieNurse4U" regarding ReMar Review from a Nurse who I believe took it twice. Also, Regina will email you a sample of Quick Facts 2.0, Activity book, and the Workbook. Unfortunately, I don't know how to link actual post. :( Best wishes!

"I failed NCLEX the first time and did ReMar and it helped me so much!!! She makes things seem so simple. I passed the next time I took it

I did ReMar Review so I can give you my honest opinion. I LOVED the review! For 3 reasons: 1-The material is straight to the point and easy to understand 2-My studying following the review was more productive and my confidence level was way higher then when I had taken it the first time. 3-Regina is super caring, I emailed her constantly and she always responded back quickly. 4-The NCLEX activity book was the funnest I had studying for this exam. Sorry I had 4 instead of 3 reasons." - NewbieNurse4U-

When you study content, do you study by categories or by systems?

^This :yes:

You have some great resources to use to pass.

Start off with a clean slate.

Look at the NCLEX for its four parts in order for one to enter as a entry level nurse: Safe, Effective Care; Health Promotion and Maintenance; Psychological Integrity; Physiological Integrity.

Don't look at it as a learning by knowledge...it's learning by application.

Next, set up a time period to study. Give yourself two months to study MAX if you need to. Review Kaplan book and Saunders cover to cover.

Make sure you are reviewing questions and rationales-even the ones that you answer correctly. Look at what the question is ASKING you; that helps in choosing the BEST answer. Review the sources if you don't understand the rationales.

The NCSBN (makers of the NCLEX) also has a comprehensive study program as well.

Additional sources I used; ExamCram, Lippincott apps on iPhone, Saunders flash cards; PharmPhlash cards, LaCharity.

Most of my sources I reviewed cover to cover no more than a week, and did all the questions after each review of material, reviewed the questions and rationales.

I studied for at least 2 months. Within three weeks before the exam, I started utilizing strictly practice questions and set them up like the NCLEX-75, 105, 185, 205, 235, 265. I reviewed the questions that I had difficulty with, and the sources of the rationales.

The key to passing the boards, is not only fully understanding the four domains of a licensed nurse, but also having a good comprehensive study plan, and sticking to it. :yes:

Sending positive vibes to your success! We need you out there! :up::up::up::up::up:
