Failing nclex 6 times

Published

I graduated in July 2014, I failed the nclex 6 times. Did everything Hurts, kaplan, remar review. Ncsbn. I I used the kaplan strategy and study and listen to remar and hurts. My Kaplan average test score between 60 to 65. When I used 50 questions with kaplan I average between 60/65.I am going insane. I don't want to give up coming too far to let go.Please any advice.

Heeeeeeyyyyy! I've been better, I think things are getting better.

I really hope things are going better! I've missed your smart assiness-- though I have to say, Far can give you a run for your money!

Seriously glad to *hear* from you :)

Why beat this dead horse? Why feed the troll?

Do people really expect to be coddled when they tell us they have failed the NCLEX 5+ times. Never gonna happen. I've been a nurse for 6 years & if it took me that many attempts to pass the NCLEX, I wouldn't be a nurse now.

(((((((((((((((OC!!!!!!))))))))))))

You're back!! Yay!!

I suppose if you've failed 6 times and publicly announce it in a forum, it is nearly impossible to get

only positive comments from people.

In my humble opinion, the best thing to do is read experiences of those who have taken

the NCLEX multiple times (i.e. 5,6,7 times) and PASSED. Learn from their experiences and

see what it was they did right and at long last passed their last NCLEX exam. Yes, it actually happens!

As unbelievable as it may seem to those naysayers et al. on this thread.

Also, I feel the person who posted this post failed 6 times because of language difficulty. Just reading the

post, it is already obvious English is not this person's first language. Reading the NCLEX question itself

and understanding what to answer already presents as a challenge if you don't speak English well.

In addition, I feel some people hit the "apply" button on Pearson Vue every 45 days to retake the NCLEX and are

not really putting an effort their study strategies. If you have to re-take it, be sure you are OVER prepared, not just

cranking out questions on some book or qbank. Read, understand all those rationales, memorize, type out notes,

make flash cards, whatever it takes....Your NCLEX effort should be Herculean. Okay, just my 2 cents....

You are so right.

Just because it takes multiple times to pass NCLEX does not mean she won't make an excellent nurse when she does, might I add. And no I am not "sugar coating" or being unrealistic I am speaking from seeing this happen to other amazing nurses

Or she could be a terrible nurse. Why are people so against a limit on the NCLEX? It's scary to think there are nurses out there that took 5+ attempts out there & practicing.

Maybe the ones who are so against a limit are the ones who had to take it multiple times.

I think Canada has a pretty good model.

This is really sad. Lol , dear writer.

6 xs is alot to take the NCLEX, but honey. STUDY & PRAY! The God that is giving you the strength to not give up is the same God that will carry you through. Keep your faith. Trust the process.
