Failing the NCLEX for the 2nd time

[jasilady]

Where do you go from two failures?? I'm completely numb.. I've worked sooo hard to get here and to fail twice.. It's so hard to be positive I need help and encouragement.. I know I can do it but I don't even want to.. I guess I would like to know what repeat test takers have used to study the second and third time around.. I've used Kaplan and I will not be using it again just for the content review part and I'm thinking about using NCSBN review.. I don't know where to go from here I've made flash cards I really tried. I'm taking off a month before my exam so I can really focus! I feel like such a disappointment my co workers my family and my friends are soo supportive and was completely rooting for me. When I asked for time off people worked for me so that I could study..

Some back history I went to school in New Mexico I actually lived there for the past six years.. After I graduated nursing school in may I came back home.. I have a 5 year old son that was staying with my mother while I was in nursing school.. So now I'm back with all of my family nd friends nd it's a major distraction so the first time I tested I got 75 questions which was understandable I wasn't ready at all.. This last time I received the entire test.. During this time I was moving into my first home.. Which is a process in itself. I'm aware that I've had a lot going on and that probably contributed to a lot of me not passing. But I'm lost on picking up the pieces.

You are not a failure.

Failure is a bruise, not a tattoo.

I failed first time with 75Q I am taking board again hopefully october... I used Kaplan.. This time I am using Hurst videos for contents and I am going to use Kaplan strategy book it will help me be a better in answering the questions and reuse Kaplan questions after i go thru the contents videos and the strategy book.. find out what was your weakness? If you get whole 265Q means you wear near passing... don't give up.. you can do it!! Trust me I had to call my work and telling them I failed I can't work as RN and the clinic i work for they keep asking me about the results.. stay focused I took a week off and now I feel I am ready to open the books again. Good luck!
