Failed Nclex twice. Taking it 3rd time and last on March 30, 2010. Need prayer

Published

Hello future fellow and current nurses

I am taking the Nclex exam for the 3rd time :imdbb: . It's so discouraging to fail and then retake, but I can not give up. I am studying now Hurst, Saunders questions and Kaplan strategies :sstrs:. Did any of you do any of these? I am so scared and so nervous :uhoh3:. No one knows when I am taking this time the NCLEX. I need some prayer and encourangemnt please on March 30th at 2:00 pm. I need to pass this time. I am trying to take it before April 1 changes. Actually that is the last day I can take the test according to my ATT. I pray and hope that each and everyone on this site that is in my shoes to pass Nclex for once :bowingpur. Thank you guys for your support :tku:

I studied mostly all of the Hurst online review. I did some Saunders questions and also read Kaplan 08-09 Strategies book. I did not do as many questions as I should since I wanted to understand my core content, but we'll see on Thursday if that affected me. I got lots of SATA this time. Infection control, 5 pharm questions, 6 or 7 mental health, a few therapeutic communication and a lot of priorities type of questions. Study Med Surg the most. I prayed a lot this time, cause no matter what you study if you are anxious you can not concentrate and you start picking answers that "sound good". We'll see Thursday.

Also know your lab values, most I've seen used in test questions were H&H, Platelets, RBC, ESR, K, Mg, NA, BUN, Cr. I can not discuss the content of the test but is common knowledge that you must memorize lab values. That's about the only thing I memorized, the rest is understanding your nursing content and how to apply it. Hurst was really good at teaching that.

Hello Everyone! I took NCLEX-RN today, got 265 questions (I was happy, it was better than 75 questions the last time) and felt wonderful taking it. I stayed calm, relaxed and took it one question at a time. I kept everyone in my prayers and kept keeping the faith each question! I still had 1 1/2 hours on the clock and I took 2 breaks. I felt a lot more confident that before. I even have a head cold!

I did the PVT trick and got the good pop-up. It's wonderful to see but I still want to see a license number posted on April Fool's Day!

Good Luck to everyone! I used Learning Extension website (learningext.com) and I used the Priority, Delegation book by LaCharity this last time and I had a local review class that inspired me also.

Take care and God bless everyone!

My miracle happened. I PASSED the NCLEX. Thank God. Finally I can move on with my life. Done with this nightmare of a test. With that said I think the pearson vue trick works because I also got the good pop up. Good luck everyone else that has to take Nclex and God Bless You. :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp: :hpygrp:

There is no telling how long it will take, we have seen CA applicants post anything from 3 days to 5 weeks to get results
