Published

hi there, this was my 2nd time taking the Nclex and i got 75 questions. I had checked the BON wesite everyday for 2 weeks and my name didnt show up so i guess that should have warned me. I tried Suzanne's study guide, Mosby's CAT and Lippincotts but i guess I am that dumb.I honestly thought i did better this time.Am i just not smart enough? I am numb:banghead: :crying2: :crying2: :scrying: right now, am done crying and feeliong like this is not healthy. I want to give up so bad. I am tired!!!

Please don't give up. I'm currently in the LVN program and one of the instructors told us that she took the NCLEX 7 times. She went back to school and got her BSN and of course, her Masters. You're not dumb, it's just not the right time. I use to have test anxiety even though I knew the materials, I would freeze up and fail the exams. I had hypnosis last year to get rid of my test anxiety and I'm happy to say that now I ace my test.

Good luck next time!

You can do this.. I just got my license yesterday and I graduated JUNE 05'.. It was my 3rd try before i got mine.. Just don't give up my recommendation for study guide would be saunders.. I have one if you would like it.. It has very little marks in it. You can have it free of charge just pay to have it shipped. I will do what I can to help another person to try and get their license

yes dont give up!!! I gave up years ago after the 2nd try and have always regreted it since. I am now going for #3!!!! You can do it!

thanks guys for the encouragement and support. I studied for 2 months and i used the mosby CAT,saunders and kaplan CDs. I was so sure i passed this time but i guess i got worse since the test stopped at 75. It just makes you lose confidence in yourself.

eosaeni, please don't give up! your prayers will be answered in HIS appointed time. keep the faith! i know it is easier said than done but HE knows what your heart desires , just keep believing in HIM and in yourself. we are here for you, your partners in prayer!

Don't give up. I just passed on my second try. I did Suzanne's plan. Just use saunders. Do 100 questions a day. Read each and every rational. I took my time on the exam this time. I read the questions very carefully. I made sure I knew what it was asking me. Maybe you focused on to many resourses. Just stick with saunders it works. Gook Luck.

eosaeni, you are not dumb. you can do it!

just pray and have faith in god and everything will be ok.

i will also pray for you. good luck to you.
