I took the Kaplan review class and finished the WHOLE qbank and all the trainers, was getting high 50s, and took the NCLEX the first time and failed. I was disappointed but i had a lot of encouraging people around me so I got myself up, studied at least 3 hours a day Mon-Fri (I also work 4-5 days a week, do not have the choice of working less) , took a 2 and a half week content review course called EXCELL Nursing Review and made sure I knew all the information before retaking the exam, well I FAILED....AGAIN. I knew all the content, did everything I was suppose to do, and now I have to wait 45 days to take it over again. Now not only am I very disappointed in myself, (even though I did as much as i could have), but I am stuck. I do not know what to do. I was planning on doing the 3 week NCSBN course online (at least 30 hrs/week) but I do not know anyone who did it or if it helped. Does anyone have any suggestions? What can I do to finally become an RN? I was a good student in class, was great in clinicals, and this exam is just driving me nuts! I will schedule my exam in 45 days, but I need help on how/what to study to pass. Please help me I feel so hopeless.
Hi Lovelyeve- The book is La charity PDA book (priority, delegation and assignment) 3rd edition. you can rent it from Barnes and noble. Its very good and helpful. I failed my boards and everyone recommended it so i gave it a try and my grades and thought process has changed with this book. Hope that helps :)
Thank you is the book for lvn also I heard it was for rns
I used the NCSBN, the 8 week option, and passed the NCLEX RN on the first try. I felt that the study materials were a bit tedious and opted to focus most of my attention on the bank of questions, studying the rationales afterward. I combined the NCSBN with Exam Cram and the La Charity book which I really liked for delegation and management. Even though I studied like crazy, I still went through more than 150 questions before the computer went to the blue screen. I'm sorry you have to take it over again. I have a very good friend and classmate who has failed it twice and we both had a good cry over that second one she had to take.
