Failed again!

Published

Just took my boards Friday for the second time and I failed. Both times I got 265 questions. I felt really good about it this time. I still think I answered the questions well, but they were probably questions below passing standard. I'm pretty bummed out. I hate to tell work again, I don't know what will happen. :bluecry1:

I am calling a private tutor that a few girls from school used. Hopefully things will work out.

Hi AmyD,

'Long time since my studies' means I am 1989 grad - ancient - so to speak. Do not have much recollection of hypomagnesemias and aaaagh... from that time - also, I have been in the line of work which is acute but with limited set up what comes with drugs and equipment. There is so much new stuff in the business; scary!

I'm sorry to hear that u failed ur nclex exam..I too fialed nclex rn exam twice last yr even after attending kaplan review course. I know how it feels when u receive that big brown envelope but the thing is i never gave up. i decided to study on my own by using saunders Q&A CD mostly and i took the nclex again on may 1 2006 and just found out yesterday that i passed. I had only 75 questions this time around. SO my dear, just to show u that with God everything is possible. So pls dont depair instead keep studying as much as you can because u'll definitely make it next time by God's grace..Just believ in urself and trust and hope in God.

Thank you! That gives me hope that you passed this time. I'm glad to see that Saunders worked for you, that is what I'm studying on Suzanne's plan and only that. Congratulations! :balloons:

I feel your pain. Took mine for the second time and failed. Used 5 different study guides. Thinking about Suzzane's tips also.

Look above at the thread "1st tip of my new study guide", or something like that. That's Suzanne's plan. After failing twice, it can't hurt me!
