Failed 7th time NCLEX RN. Am I a really a failure?

[Sakshi]

Hello everyone, I took my exam on 9th. I came home and pop up didn't work, I had put a post here and was suggested to wait for official results. I got them today and it said I failed yet again! I just don't know what to do? Where to study from? My second time I had tried Kaplan, last few times studied on my own, this time had a tutor and bought ncsbn but only did little but out of it. I just don't know where I'm going wrong. I feel so bad for my parents who are soo supportive yet I keep giving them same news. PLEASE HELP ME. I WOULD REALLY REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

I live in philadelphia, if someone wants to team up to study.

I feel soo devastated, I just keep asking myself if I'm really a failure? How can I not do this in 7th time! How dumb could I be??

I tried studying saunders. But i just studied half of the book. i cant retain the infos. It was so overwhelming for me. What was your technique in reading those?

Hi, ProfRN4, I know many nurses who earn their nursing degree in America and fail nclex-LPN/RN, just like our friend that hasn't pass several times. I do not think she has language barrier. What about the people who earn degree in the U.S, does it means they have language barrier? You sound so foolish for speaking to our friend like this. To All the foreign degree holder, stop putting yourself down. You earn your degree just like anyone else. There are hundreds of stories like this, but people don't want to tell it on allnurses.com. She has the courage to explained her sad failure story and she is asking for help. By the way, You Are Not a Failure, because You are smart, you have wisdom, you have knowledge and you have the understanding to pass the exam like anyone. We are here to encourage this young woman in anyways. This is one of the reasons why people DO NOT WANT TO ASK because they are ashamed to ask for assistant because of people like you. I will encourage you to read at least two chapter per day from saunders yellow book or from any book that you have, and do many of questions & Why?means (Rationales). Within a month you should have read the whole book. Read first thing in the morning, it may take you about 2 to 3 hours and understand it.

Good Luck!!!!!!!!!

Awesome words Jole05, you are absolutely right! English is my second language as well I am an RN from PR, that is why my username have the RN on it...we earned our degree w/ sacrifice & we passed. We just need help w/ study guides and encourageme from other colleagues to pass the Nclex. I didn't pass the first try cause I didn't study like I was suppose to. I only used the learning extension from the Nclex ppl it didn't worked for me. So please I am begging you guys for support what study guide is the best and if the Hurst Review or another not that expensive works...we can do this I have faith and I will never give up!!! What is the best book and online review that can help me pick the correct answer/ critical thinking? Thanks in adviced And GB.

Thanks a lot for you support. You're right I was feeling embarrassed at first and was thinking if I should tell that I failed "7 times" but then I told myself if I need help from everyone here I have to be honest, it's ok if I'm made fun of or asked anything. That's you I'm not getting mad if people are asking me "harsh questions" because I know they're trying to help me out.

Thanks a lot

Do you know where your weak spots may be or the question you find difficult to answer?[/quote']

I'm able to knock out 2 options but then I get confuse n underestimate myself n end up choosing wrong answer.

Hey just wanted to say that Hurst review worked miracles for me. I passed my nclex today. Failed the first time. Hurst gave me the content info that I needed to pass nclex. It is very focused and short. I promise if you know te information like they tell you, without hesitation and doubt you will pass. I tried Kaplan and Saunders. The first time-graduated top of my class. Hurst works. Try it. If you need help contact me I don't mind helping who ever wants to pass and go to work help people and earn a check in the process.
