Sorry to hear you were not successful. Put past tries aside. When you go back to preparing, study as if you had never tested before. Just be persistent and you will get this.

HURST REVIEW, look no further that is what you need, and this is coming from a multi test taker who finally passed yesterday.
You need Hurst Review, LaCharity P/D/A and a NCLEX comprehensive book. Do not use too many resource, however once you understand what Hurst is teaching, then you can start practicing questions from different resources, so you can get a feel for various question style.
All the best..........

Do not rush to resit the exam but take the time to prepare for it.

Take your time. I'm reaking also . Just begun intensive study using LaCharity, Davis. Hurst if I can.
Not sure where to post this. If your ATT expires does it count against as if failed actual NCLEX-RN exam?

hey everyone, i am a canadian Rn nurse. i took the nclex and failed it the third time:mad: and i dont know what to do. i have studied religiously for this exam. I studied all day everyday the whole week for 2 month each time. I am really shocked that i failed because this time i bought the course from kaplan and did everything that was required to pass but still i failed. i dont know what to do i saw some of you posted saunders and lacharity really helped. I am asking you guys if it worth it before i go ahead and order it.
thank you

self-reviewing is awesome if u are that kind of student. i can't sit still for more than 5 mins to try and read a book. you can try enrolling yourself in a live class review such as Kaplan's. That's what i took, but overseas in the Philippines. You spend some time reading their book and watching their videos, then during the class they throw practice exams at you. That's the best part, you have a teacher that will rationalize with you why the answer is the answer and they will teach you Critical Thinking and Test Taking strategies. Those are somethings that you don't get when self-reviewing. It will help you figure out what you are doing wrong when u are answering questions.
