FAILED NCLEX TWICE

Published

I failed again :no: I first took NCLEX in 2009 I don't really consider it coz that time I was not really prepared and when I failed that year I said I will NEVER take NCLEX again coz failing was just too painful. Then it happened again...last week. Purchased the Quick Results so I found out I failed again. I know I gave out my best this time but I guess my best wasn't good enough. ������ I enrolled myself in an intensive review class and spent 3 weeks to go over the notes and prepared myself.

I think I let my anxiety took over me coz minutes before the exam I panicked and thoughts of storming out the test center and not taking the exam were all in my head. Good thing I was able to control it and brought myself back to reality.

I was really devastated of the result and thought again of never taking it anymore. I felt so down like I was so stupid but now I have realized true failure is not failing the exam but quitting without trying again. So I decided to register again. I am just waiting for my ATT from the Nevada BON. I just have a few questions though and I hope whoever can relate will answer me or give out some tips (if u dont mind). It will really be appreciated.

1. Retake policy is 45 days after the administration of exam. Does it mean Nevada BON will send me my ATT after 45 days too?

2. How many times will Nevada BON allow me to take NCLEX?

3. How can I study effectively? Im aware Im weak in the cardiovascular system, EKG reading and interpretation, stuff like that. I also know that it will be after 6 weeks before I will receive my performance paper. So I have no idea in what areas I was weak at in the exam

4. Any tips or advice for a retaker like me?

Thank you in advance and god bless us all ������

hi...did u take any review class?can u send me some tips...here is my email [email protected] taking my nclex rn this may 30....hoping for the good result..thanks

Kaplan was worth every penny and helped me pass with a great score. I got the hard sections, respiratory, cardiac and many math questions.

Thank you for sharing. Good luck on your new journey! :)

OP: You also need to go back to some actual nursing TEXTBOOKS and take a deep and repeated dive. You've been away from nursing school the better part of a decade. Reviews are good, content is better. For you. For the test. For your future patients.

I am not sure if I am the right person you should be asking coz I didnt pass. But while reviewing we were reminded not to memorize (except for the lab values) but know the content by heart coz that will really help a lot. Not only will it help u in the exam but also as u work as an RN.

Dont study the day or 2-3 days before the exam. Relax and be confident. Hope you can do it! Try not to be so anxious (that's a mistake i did) and analyze the questions well, don't be in a hurry but don't take too long too over a question. Believe in yourself, you can do it! :-)

thank you so much...

You could always try another NCLEX exam preparation course. Sometimes different ones have differing value to students.

Yeah agree. Thank you for sharing!

I was out if school for 7 years and recently passed my Nclex. So with you can do it!

YES I WILL! Congratulations and thank you!

How has your studying been coming along?

Hi Em, you mentioned you failed nclex-rn in 2009, and took again 2017. How did you apply, apply as initial exam or use the reapply form? Thank you.

@RNLLB

I am not sure if there are two different forms to fill.

But I remember there was a question if I have taken NCLEX before and I ticked that with "yes".
