Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.

Which NCLEX did you take. Have you considered Suzanne's plan alternatively there are many threads discussing other study guides like Kaplan

Don't beat yourself up please! Anyway, i go for the 3rd time in November. I think after i failed the 2nd time it was so hard but i became much stronger and as long as i got money i will be at the testing site taking that test! If you have the heart to be a nurse than you were meant to be one. You passed nursing school so don't let a test define you. Good luck!

I took NCLEX-RN. I had studied with Kaplan before the first time and before the 2nd time as well. I don't think Kaplan worked AT ALL obviously and I'm just frustrated because it seems like nothing I did worked.

I do want to be a nurse but it is SO hard to not let this test make me feel so horrible. It is a standard nurses have to pass and if we don't, I'm not good enough yet and that is very hard for me.

I am in the same boat as you! I failed twice now using Kaplan course and review online. After failing the 2nd time I was really shocked because I scored a 68% on Test 7 of kaplan and my friend scored 58% and passed! So I agree Kaplan just did not work for me. But I figured out that I second guessed myself more when I was taking the NCLEX than when i was at home studying. I would sit and ponder the question during the NCLEX and I have to just go with my first answer. So that is what I have been practicing with the Saunders 4th edition book!! I take the NCLEX Sept 19th for the 3rd time so please fif you can say a little prayer for me because it has been a long road :( You can do it!! Plus make sure you get your money back from Kaplan!!
