:bluecry1:i just found out that i failed the nclex for the 2nd time....i had a feeling...my computer shut off at 75 which is worse than the first time, the first time i failed at 265 which from what i understand is better than at 75. i am numb, i am mad at myself for not studying harder. i know now that i have no one to blame but myself and my lack of a better study schedule and the quality of my studying. i just can't help feeling like a failure and wonder if i am ever going to pass this exam. i am looking into kaplan online, not sure what to do, don't even know where to start. i feel like maybe it's because i have been out of school too long that my chances of ever passing are very slim. i graduated in may '08. i know ever is saying don't give up, you can do it, but i am just so discouraged i can't even begin to explain. i feel like i have failed :crying2:my family, friends and now when my kids get off the bus and ask me if i passed i have to say no i didn't, worst feeling in the world. they were soooo excited when they left for school, my oldest, who is 15 was texting me from school....uugghhhhh and asking me if i found out yet, i told him no i didn't know yet. now what??? how long do i wait to test again? 45 days would be december 11th...do i wait until after the holidays? do i enroll in kaplan? do i do suzanne's plan? help...i really really need some guidance.....thank you for listening!!!!:uhoh21:
i called my bon, i live in upstate ny, they told me to log on to pearson, pay my $200, then call bon back, they released my att to pearson. so then i called pearson, they said they would email my att within 24-48 hours..well it was emailed in 5 minutes...then i logged back onto pearson to schedule. the same thing happened last time when i had to schedule the 2nd test. what state are you from? are you working right now? you have got to be exhausted..i have 3 kids which is hard, but being pregnant has go to be very tiring...i know all i wanted to do when i was pregnant was sleep!!! let me know what you find out....good luck:up:
I am sorry to hear that you did not pass. My second time stopped at 75 also and I had that dreaded feeling. I am planning this time around with Suzanne's plan which I have heard positive comments about. Don't give up. We will be nurses soon.

i guess florida is different cause i just contacted them and they told me that they don't accept payments other than by mail so i have to mail it out and wait for them to email my att. i don't have a job right now which is a good and bad thing...i have time to study but i'm so broke! i was really exhausted my whole first trimester..all i wanted to do was sleep. but luckily that went away and i've got my energy back now. i can't complain i've had a good first pregnancy so far. anyway, i'm going to mail out my money order to fbon tomorrow and pay pearson vue online and i'll let you know when i schedule my test for.
Also....see if your hubby will take the kids out for short exursions while you study....I was also the B-C student...dang test taking anyway...lol With determination like you have I know you will be a great nurse. Yes you are learning...I think the people in the state boards and those types of places are ex teachers that got kicked out for being nasty. It's all out there young lady...but just stay focused on yourself and don't worry about anything else. We can only change one piece of this world and that is ourselves...but by making ourselves better we also make the world a little better:D
I failed the first time at 265 and the second time at 75 questions. I'm trying to get the confidence up to start studying agin....it seems like its never going to end
I know the feeling. Just look at it from the perspective that you are not the first or the last to not pass on the first or second attempt. You just tell yourself that this is what you want and this is what it is going to take to get me there "studying". Best of luck to you. You can do it.
I just wanted to encourage those who have posted here that are preparing to take the NCLEX again. Hoping your holidays include passing the exam. Best of luck.
Do Suzanne's plan before you enroll in Kaplan. I plan on doing both only because our school has included Kaplan into our tuition, but I was planning on taking my chances with Suzanne's plan, mainly because I have seen so many posts of where people are new and come onto the board that have failed for the 4th and 5th time...only to do Suzanne's plan and pass.
That is great that the school is preparing you guys with the Kaplan, but not so great that is is being added to your tuition (nothing is free, right lol). Happy Thanksgiving to all.
