Failed to pass NCLEX the 3rd time....

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi everyone,I've heard so much about this site and read a lot of the posts here about the people who are having difficulties with their studies and even those about the success that these people have, i just wanted to ask some people there who same as me did not pass yet their NCLEX-RN exam, it already took me 3 tries, first of all i took my first in the Philippines, failed with 75 questions, next when i got here to New York, i took my 2nd one right after i finished the Kaplan Review Center, ended up with another 75 questions but still failed, and my recent one was a few days ago and i had been self studying for a month or so and had 151 questions in total, and yesterday found out that i still failed, its hard to think that all that effort was for nothing, i had a very good feeling while taking my 3rd test and everything felt in place until i found out, now I'm just gonna try again, i heard that its going to take about 45 days before i can take the test in New York State is that right? and can anybody give me some advice on what i should do and things that might help me out on my next try. Thanks, most of the posts i read here are very comforting and i really feel that everyone here understands what the people are going through especially about these NCLEX exams and passing/failing....

Don't give up! It WILL happen! I passed the first go, and I owe a lot of my success to the Hurst Review! It was all I used to study while working full time! If you haven't tried it, look into it! Have faith, and best of luck to you!! Hang in there!

You said you did the Kaplan review, but I am curious if you went through all QTs and QBanks and all rationales..?

Kaplan was all I used to review and I did just what they told me.. For every single question I missed, I looked up everything I could find on that topic - as in, if I had pernicious anemia and missed the medication, I look up the cause, population affected, medications, symptoms, etc... It took a LOT of time, I was studying 6-7 hours every day for exactly 4 weeks.... I took notes, wrote down little topics I wasn't familiar with, read through every rationale for every question choice since I found it offers additional information... 2 days pre-testing, I went through ALL my notes...

I took my NCLEX today @75 qs and got majority SATA and PVT with the good pop up, so I am hoping this is a good sign...

hi Miniangel2.. I read your PM but i cant reply coz i guess i dont have enough post.. anyway, do not let this failure for the 3rd time put away a dream in your heart.. keep that dream burning and let that Faith and Determination take you to a better place...

get a good Conetent based book, read cover to cover... then practice the questions, then practice again with the PDA by Lacharity...

Do not give up... This is only a test of faith...

Goodluck :)
