Failed again 3x loser

Published

HELLO,Took my test today and failed again .I am so upset and don't have anymore resources as i used them all.I don't know what my next step should be .I studied ,studied and studied. I did a ready to pass class that was excellent did the saunders review book did u world .I keep getting to the end of the test and failing maybe nursing is not for me .Maybe i should just forget this whole chapter in my life and start over with a different profession .

Believe that God has a plan for you, and pray , pray pray

UWorld and a calm attitude will change your life.

First time I took nclex, I used Kaplan. It confused the crap out of me but I didn't try any other study material. I was extremelyyyyyy nervous going into it. Had a panic attack in the middle of my exam. Took all 265 and failed.

Second time, I used UWorld. I didn't have the best end score when I finished but I studied the rationales hard and retook the questions I missed several times. And I didn't panic. I kept a calm, cool attitude. Took 40 mins and 75 questions...and honestly the test seemed easy. I know it wasn't "easy" but UWorld is harder in my opinion and prepared me well.

I passed for the 2nd time around.. I went to this private review.. And she is really good.. I just used her strategies.. And boom 75 questions in 40 mins.. Passed!

Congrats, happy for you

I swear by ATI. The modules, remediation, assessments and comprehensive predictor made the real NCLEX so much easier to sit through. I finished the first time in 75 questions even with the dreaded SATA (29 of them).

Specializes in LTC, HH, and Case Mangement.

You are not a loser. I just took my 4th exam on Thursday (the 6th) and I finally passed. I got decent grades in school, but I have horrible test anxiety. I did go to my doctor a few months ago and had her put me on a low dose of Lexapro. It has helped me concentrate and stay focused. Now that I am an RN, I am going to wean off it, but you could consider that. I literally took my pill about an hour before I tested so I would be relaxed and I was. I did get anxious about question 70 and took a break because I was afraid it was gonna shut off at 75. But luckily it didn't. I got about 100 questions. I did the trick, got the good pop up and my RN license was active yesterday morning. Please don't give up. I know someone who took it 8 times and finally passed. Good luck and keep your head up!

Finally I passed ,Thanks for all he encouraging words and prayers .The studying is over..AMEN GLORY TO GOD....

Congrats. All of your hardwork has finally resulted to passing the nclex. Im glad that you didnt give up your dreams. Congrats again RN.
