Failed again!!! :[

I just found out yesterday that I failed my boards again for the 3rd time!!! I seriously don't know what else to study!!! I feel like I have every book in the world and i really thought I did good on the exam...What am I doing wrong?!? first time i took it, i stopped at 85, 2nd time- 102, and this last time-205!!!...I really feel like giving up on nursing...can i please get advice on any really good nursing reviews out there? I've already studied lippincots,saunders, the hurst book, and exam cram...and even took a live 3 day seminar review called lifesavers, but didn't help...does anyone know any good live reviews that will really help me?I know they are a bit pricey, but i am willing to pay...i want to be a nurse already :cry: i graduated a year ago!!!

You really want to know the trick? There are several key points that I used and passed the NCLEX with the minimum questions asked the first time I took it. Focus on this (these) points:

#1) READ the QUESTION. :uhoh3: Don't get fooled by the misleading additional data the question adds as a distraction. Look at what the question is REALLY asking and then look at your options. You should be able to eliminate 2 answers almost immediatly. :nuke: #2) Of the remaining two, use critical thinking. Apply your ABC's. If all else fails, go with the answer that is the least obtrusive. Example; Give an enema or Milk of Magnesia ?

Go with the Milk as it is much less obtrusive to the patient.

If you follow these steps, you will guess right more often than wrong and will do fine.

Also,.....if you get a bunch of questions in a row that you feel are difficult, relax. NCLEX questions are weighted on their level of difficulty. Nearly everyone I know admitted that they knew for sure only about 1/10th of the questions. The rest are based on your best quess. I thought I likely failed the NCLEX only to find I actually did great. So my advice is, follow the above rules and do not panic during the test. Think of it as a no fail test, only a test of your best guesses.

I hope this helps.:yeah:
