Failed NCLEX What Next

Published

I failed the NCLEX, I did the Kaplan course, study hard everyday, took hypnosis and prayed. What else is there to do. I feel so horrible and even don't know if I will retake the test or not. I need some input please, I am lost and so depressed right now. Thank you for your input. I am so happy for the people who have taken it and passed, bless each and every one of you.

Hi there.. I am going to take my nclex next week too.. I downloaded La Charity book online for free somewhere.. forgot the link.. but maybe i can dig it for you and I found free Kaplan 1-7 question trainers too.. this is the only thing i can do. To search for free whatever is available out of my financial stability. I am doing a self review for a month hopefully I'm gonna make it. Well God speed on your 2nd take and keep on trying. Have faith on Him.

Well u are def. not alone. I failed the first time with just 75 questions and I just took it again on Saturday and took all 265 questions. And according to the pvt I failed for the second time. I have been studying Saunders and NCLEX 4000. I am going to be starting Kaplan Review once I get my official results. And I found that priortization book on amazon for 10 dollars I am also gonna be getting that as well. Don't give up we have come to far to give up now! We are almost there. We WILL NOT be Defeated!!!!!!!!!!!!

TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF PASSING KNOW YOUR CORE CONTENT such as med surg, renal, endo, resp, GI, GU, cardio, dieases, labs, delegation, priority, study select all that apply ...LOOK AT THE NEW FORMAT FOR THE 2011 NCSBN. MED SURG IS THE BACK BONE SINCE THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON IN ALL THE QUESTIONS. Touch over ob/and peds(complications). DON'T STUDY STUFF YOU KNOW WELL...THAT IS WASTING YOUR STUDY TIME. Dont waste your time with the easier questions, you know thoses...Its up to you as the nurse to attack the questions direct. USE THE SAUNDERS BOOK WITH THE CD if you don't have something already. Go over the sections and do 60 questions a day from each body system. Read the sections in the saunders helps to fill in the grey areas along with the cd. Talk out your concepts aloud to get them in your head so you can pull them back up when you take your exam. Know basic pharm tie that in with disease can help you remember it better...same goes for labs. Remember just because you have a nurse floating to the floor with 10 yrs exp....she or he stills needs the most stable patient. RN can only do teaching so remember that when you look at discharge and admissions....in the nclex hospital. NO GOOD QUESTIONS on NCLEX(SOMETHING HAPPENING IN ALL OF THEM)....PROBLEMS YOU NEED TO FIX. READ CAREFUL, LOOK FOR KEYWORDS. THINK WHAT IS THE BEST, SAFE, AND WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM WHEN YOU ATTACK THE QUESTION. Remember we want to correct a problem in the early signs of distress or whatever before they get to the point of the might not make it phase. THEY ARE LOOKING FOR NURSES THAT WILL HELP THE PATIENTS, PROTECT THEMSELVES AND THE PUBLIC.....ALONG WITH LOOK FOR ABUSE. Becareful with labs just because its wnl of the high or low...red flag for new nurses. Goal is to get as many questions right on that exam as you can. Look for keywords read the questions slow. THE SAME WAY YOU MISSED TEST QUESTIONS IN SCHOOL BECAUSE YOU READ THE QUESTIONS TO FAST...CAN HAPPEN HERE SO READ SLOW. DON'T GIVE YOUR ANSWERS AWAYS BECAUSE YOU ARE READING TO FAST....SLOW IT DOWN ON THIS. Ask yourself does my choice make sense....and if so WHY...KNOW THE WHY TO YOUR RIGHT ANSWERS AND THE WRONGS...OR WHAT MADE THEM WRONG . SO REVEIW RATIONALS WHILE YOU PRACTICE FOR YOU EXAM. It often helps you get other key pieces in your head. KEEP POSITIVE, KEEP FOCUSED. You can do it. Also look at select all that apply questions. Hurst review is nice too. Don't get yourself so focused on medications that you don't look at other parts of the test. Its not a pharm test. REVIEW MEDS THAT GO WITH EACH SYSTEM...remember you are loooking for complications(major). So basic meds. Don't hang yourself up here....make sure you know that med surg and all thoses systems well. KEEP POSITIVE you can do this. You failed but its how you recover....YOU GOT IT!!!you can rock that exam
