Frustrated Failure NCLEX RN

Published

Hi All,

I just want to share my sad story with you. I just took the NCLEX RN this morning and found out that I failed doing the pearson vue trick. I taken 3 months to prepare for this exam and I've failed. I studied everyday sometimes doing 150-200 questions a day. Reading several chapters of MED surg stuff. I did the Kaplan Review course and answered and reviewed all 7 question trainers. I used the Saunders 4th edition book for content and did almost alll the chapters. I used the LA charity book, latest editon and did all chapters and reviewed the rationales.... I just don't know where I went wrong.. Just so you guys know I was an "A" student in Nursing school..I've been praying to God so hard to pass this exam because I need a job so bad and with the current economy it's not easy to find one....I'm so frustrated and don't know where to start from...I don't know how to start studying over again...I'm so depressed...Only God knows why and I leave it all up to him because he knows all my struggles and efforts...I least I have you guys to share my pain with ..I will appreciate your feedback....:mad:

i know how you feel.. i recently just failed mine too.. and did everthing you just said.. but we can't do anything about it now, we just have to forget about it and give it time for us to move on and get back out there on our feet and study even harder.. we gave it our all, that's the most important part.. so you also deserve a congratulations for that.. time will come for us, just keep your eye on that goal and never give up.. lets just try again and do our best.. God knows we're trying our best to accomplish that goal and he will reward it to us soon.. hang in there.. just take it day by day and everything will be ok.. =) God bless and good luck! =)

You are not alone :) Just found out I failed using the PVT :( I'm also a student with good grades and I sometimes top on Final exams. I've reviewed in Kaplan, and another review center, read saunders 4th edition, and did 50-100 Q&A everyday. I also print out alot of NCLEX notes to review 2 days before my exam.. But look where it got me.. I did 3 Novenas, and prayed and did the rosary before the exam.. right now, I still can't believe I failed.. I just took my exam this morning and stopped at 75 [for 1 hour and 30 mins], so I'm still depressed.. I've been crying in the comfort room whenever I see my parents, cause I feel so ashamed.. I just hope on our next exam we'll nail it..

Maybe u r thinking,"It's very disappointing to know that I failed....yet for myself...i have given so much already." But...did you ever think that putting a lot of pressure to yourself sometimes would end up a failure? It's doesn't matter if u are a "A" student....the lesson behind every failure is to know how to get up again and learn from ur mistakes.Don't follow what others are doing...maybe it's not applicable for u...just do what is comfortable...but "determination" is the key here...fight those anxieties before and during the exam coz even how much u studied but if u don't have the positive attitude...it's useless! It's not how many questions u do for a day, guys......what is important is to understand and digest every rationales you've read. I remember when i started studying i only have 20 to 50 a day but i try to put everything in my mind. Hope this can help u guys....move on...ur not alone in this journey...it's a test from above how much determined are u to pass again.....GOODLUCK!

Hello,

I just took my Nclex for the 4th time today! All 4 times I got 265 questions which they say means you "literally almost passed"! It's extremely frustrating, TRUST me I understand! Whatever you do DON'T give up because one day you WILL pass!!!!

I TOTALLY FEEL YOU. I FEEL LIKE WE'RE GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING. :(

I'm devastated. I'm really depressed. But I don't want to show my family how sad I really am right now. I got the BAD pop up. So I have already accepted the fact that I failed.

But I don't know where I went wrong. I'm a good student. I get good grades in school. I have never failed an exam in my life. So, I really don't know what I did wrong.

I studied the following books: 8 hours/5 days a week at the library for 2-3months.

Saunders Comprehensive Review

Kaplan Course Book

Kaplan Strategies

La Charity Priority and Delegation

NCLEX Exam cram

I answered over 3000 questions. I actually get 70-85% in my scores.

But on my exam today, I failed. I got 200+ questions. I don't know because I closed the question countdown when it reached 199.

I want to start reviewing again next week and retake in 45 days. But I don't know where to start, it seemed like what I did before was not good enough. I was wondering of enrolling in a review center but I don't know which one. I had a hard time answering priority questions.
