Failed the 2nd time

Published

So I failed the nclex for the 2nd time. I took the nclex yesterday and did the PVT trick and it charged my card & send me another ATT today! I have not got my results back yet but if the trick it right, I'm sure enough I failed. At this point I don't know what to do. I took Kaplan, UWorld & Hesi review. Can someone please help me?

I'm sure you have the knowledge, it's probably your test taking strategy. You need to have your test taking ability assessed. Best of luck. It's not the end of the world.

I believe you have the content down, but its best to work on your test-taking strategies.

Best of luck.

Don't beat yourself up im in the same boat as you. Maybe you need to evaluate the way your are studying. If you have a good grasp on content then I would focus on test taking strategies and do NCLEX questions... Sorry it didn't go in your favor.

One of the books for review that I use when tutoring is the Saunders Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination, 5th Edition. I can also give you this advice; don't read too much into the question, it is what it is. What is the scenario, what are they asking? There are no maybe's or what ifs. Think of the exam this way, the answers are multiple choice, so they are giving you the answers, try to think critically, ask yourself why you would pick B over C, and why is not choosing D a no brainer? Challenge yourself, relax and don't rush. This is your day.

They give you either a white board or paper and pencil. Use them to your advantage, even if you just doodle on them (doodling helps your brain process). I had a student that rewrote the questions she didn't understand, and by rephrasing she could cut out the wordiness and get the answers. Hey whatever works! Good luck and just breathe. :)

I've finished Nursing School but they are making me take a Speech class because they decided my communications class from a previous degree didn't fill the credits appropriately. So I'm in that for the next 5 weeks and upon completion will be sitting for my NCLEX.
