Failed NCLEX- Very Sad Need help

Published

[color=#009900] hello everyone,

this was the second time i took nclex but failed again, although i was really confident that i am going to pass this time, when i got back home i went through the notes and became even more confident that i got most of them correct. i want to know if there is any way i can see my actual exam or at least know what i have done wrong. i want to see question i got wrong. one more thing i want to mention, when i went to testing center and realized that i forgot my att at home. i asked the lady to let me use her computer and printer since i have att in my email and this would be easiest way to get it and she refused and said go home and get it, i told her that my home is almost 45 min. drive and test will be starting after 10 mins.and she said i am not allowed let you touch my computer without att. it took me almost an hours to come back to testing center and when i came back the lady said you are late and i won't let you to write the exam since she already filed a report saying that i did show up but i cried a lot and begged her to let me take the exam finally she allowed me to take the exam and my computer stopped at 75, i felt very confident that i got most of them right. i am not sure if my failing status has to do with the report that lady filed or something else.

i would really appreciate if anyone let me know how to find out what i have got wrong.

I agree! That is so horrible that you had to go through all of that on test day. And I thought it was bad that both of my parents drove me there and were arguing the whole time. My mom and I don't get along, so I was under a lot of stress as well. The test was three hours away and we got lost. It was so foggy that you couldn't see anything. I barely had time to eat anything. I went to Denny's but i only had like 20 minutes to eat. I was not really relaxed. That was the first time I took it and I failed at 75. I am taking it again the end of next month. All we can do is continue studying and try our best. At least we have seen the exam so it won't be so scary this time:) I have definitely doubted my ability and went through all of the stages of grief. I really doubted that I should even be an RN. I've never been good at standardized tests, but I got really good grades. I'm working on my fourth degree now....two associate's, two bachelor's....music school, AND graduate school. I was going to attend law school, but I decided I hated it. So..I am a professional student. Well rounded, pretty intelligent, but I can't take a standardized test to save my life. My SAT and GRE scores were equal to special education...seriously. I don't know what my issues are with the tests. I am horrible at them. But we will all study again and do our best. We can't fail forever. It just won't happen statistically speaking. We will be RN's soon. The fact that we aren't now..there is a reason. I've been trying to figure it out myself:)

I so know what you mean by being broke. I quit my job when I graduated from nursing school because I thought...well, I'm going to be an RN in like a month. At least I'll be able to just focus on studying and interviewing. And the world played a cruel joke on me when I failed. I have no job....I had a job lined up as an RN, but obviously I can't start that. It was quite embarassing to tell them that I failed. My car doesn't work anymore. I had planned on buying a new car with my new job. Haha....I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I have no money at all. I'm getting back money in tax refunds so I will be paying to take the nclex again and trying to pay my bills. I think I just need to find Doctor 90210, marry him, and move to beverly hills. This is insane. And of course to top it off I feel like such a loser. Most people would not quit their job before they had another one...but that is why I am so different from the rest of the world. Just know that you are so not alone.

Hi Ssingh,

I am sorry to hear what happen to you I know that this is hard to hear but everything happens for a reason but god has a master plan for you. I understand truly where you are coming from because I will be sitting for my boards 2/28/06 for the second and last time. But I truly believe that you just have to trust in the Lord and all that he has to offer you he will reveal it all in time but you just need to stand still and let him work.

I will prayer for you, for now just take time for yourself and relax.

I am sorry to hear you failed. Yes, I know they are VERY strict about the ATT. You are lucky she let you take it. Usually they won't, and you have to repay and all. My advice? Life isn't over. Life will go on. You do get another chance. I know it is frustrating above anything else. Have you had any review courses? I know our local hospital had a free three day review course for us and it helped alot, just to alleviate stress and fears. It taught us some strategies of test taking, but also how to relax and destress so we could think about the problem (Q) at hand. What state are you in? Keep studying, and gl next time around.

Thank you everyone, believe me all I need is some encouraging words, we all need some support and I guess I feel better reading responses I got from this website. Whatever happened was my past and now I have to focus on other things to make my future even better. To all of you who failed and feeling low like me just see the bright side and that is we still have time and all I need prayer and wish from our friends, family and well-wishers. I cried a lot after knowing that I failed the board again, and believe me it helped me to take out my anger and frustration and then I promised myself that I won’t cry and keep all my energy to pass the board, all I need is hard work and focus. Once again I feel like the luckiest girl in this earth since god has given me a healthy body, mind and an optimist and positive approach toward life.

I will pray for everyone who is going to take exam.

God bless all of you.

yes, you can view your exam. you will only be allowed to see the items you missed. there are very strict security rules when viewing the exam, but you can. call the 800 number for nclex info that is in your candidate bulletin and get the process started if that is what you want to do.

the report that was filed by the test center staff does not have anything to do with your pass/fail status. the results of your exam go to an entirely different place. the report goes to the pearson office and ncsbn for review. the report is simply to make sure that correct procedures are followed so that the test is fair for everyone. it has no bearing on your results
