Finally retaking** nervous

Published

I graduated in 2012, I was sal of my practical nursing program and thought I had the NCLEX in a bag until I took it in 2013 and failed!!!! I was so afraid to go back, its now 2015 and I'm finally going back at the end of the year to retake. I am a full time wife and mother and currently work in the lab full time. I currently have Saunders NCLEX PN 5th edition. I have Lippincotts NCLEX PN. I have exam cram that I bought from amazon. Some folks tell me do not go back to basics, just study as much questions as you can and review the rationales. Any suggestions would be great!!! I need to face this head on. I am determined to become a nurse.

Always look for the first priority patient/problem in your mind when answering the questions. Don't worry about memorizing numbers on charts, you will be given that. Critical thinking is the key.
