Help !

I have been a licensed LPN since 2012.

I finished my LPN to RN program in May 2020. I have failed the NCLEX 3 times since May 2020. I am in Ferndale, Michigan.

-The first time and second time I used UWorld. That did not help me.

-The third time I used Mark Klimek Audios and Nurseachieve.com. I finished Audio 7 out of 12 and did about 500 NurseAchieve questions. My CAT style NCLEX practice exams on nurse achieve were borderline passing.

Michigan now requires me to take an Approved NCLEX Review Course before I can take the NCLEX again. Can anyone suggest any Review Courses that worked for them? Is anyone else in my position or has any1 passed after failing 3 times.

Thanks in advance.

Hello!

If you haven't tried Kaplan, I would recommend. Kaplan did a great job with how to break down questions and they always had a bunch of videos to help you succeed.

Good luck

I took classes NCLEX prep classes with Penni Harbour. She does small group classes over Skype that are very helpful for developing the critical thinking that you need to pass. They are not expensive, about $15/class.

Here's a link to her FB page: https://www.facebook.com/nursingly

The first step would be to ask the Michigan BON what is approved by them

I took the NCSBN review. I liked it. I learned a lot. I also have big boards in my room w notes that I review daily.

I also bought the practice Kaplan Cat style exam. They give 3 exams. I took one so far and I passed at 265 questions with a Big green circle.

I also have been taking 1 cat style exam per day through achievenurse.com, they have unlimited CAT style exams and have been passing each exam everday for the past 5 days consistently.

I am nervous to take this again. I am schedule to take it this upcoming week. I feel confident and hope this is it. Any advice is much appreciated.....
