Hi I went through finding out my spouse cheating on me and then a messy divorce. Through all I took the nclex twice and failed. I was so discouraged with myself and the situation I was in I didnt want to study any more. But Im back and Im more at ease. I am going to study but what is the best advice?

Hi,
I took the NCLEX twice, The 2nd time I went to the end all 265 questions and took me 5 hours 40 minutes,,,, but I passed. I had similar problems as yourself as far as stress etc. I took Dr Martens review class and with that alone I passed. That class shows you how to read the questions and understand them. My first exam I did not understand well enought how to answer the test. I spent 500 dollars in this review class and i passed. Google Dr martens review register and take it. It is over 10 days.
Good Luck
there are so many review courses out there what made you go with Dr. Martens? I live in utah and I checked the next one that is closest to me is in Cali in Nov I will travel there if you tell me its that good.
:thankya:
Here is the deal. When I took my first test as mentioned, i answered questions based on what I thought, this course will teach you how to answer on theory and how to apply your critical thinking skills. You will get many questions that are "good ones", and that will help you as well. Once again, I recommend it, and no, i dont work for them but am very confident if you take it you will pass. Another plus is that you get to meet alot of people from many countries and from here, you can form teams and do quizzes for each other and it helps alot. After the class, i just studied all the notes I got and did not use the nclex prep books, NO NEED. you will get plenty of notes from class and with that info u will do fine. Remember those nclex books dont specify on how to answer questions they just give them, this review does just the opposite it gives u the insight on how to answer correctly and to see the FEEDER answers which can confuse u.
Try it you wont regret, if you do keep me informed, if you need any help or advice.also, the class is very fun, the DR. makes jokes and makes the class entertaining.Good Luck

Hey girl, well I've taken the test twice also and I failed both attempts. I'm on my third attempt and I'm doing Suzannes Plan. If your looking towards saving your money try Suzanne4's plan. She's one of the moderators here on this website and she's helped many many people pass..even people who have graduated over 10 years ago! Well My test is next month..I hope to tell you the good news that I passed using her plan. Goodluck, any other information just ask. :loveya:

KEEP GOIN!!! Read your books, practice q & a, and when your ready, take the test...BE FOCUSED..Good Luck! That's what i did, i passed the PN exam, 3rd time. i'm out of nursing more than your years. Now, i'm kicking on my RN exam, i almost give up, but i'm still here, and found myself reading and answering q's...PRAY...

Please check with the BON before you do a thing, not sure which state that you are in, but some require a specific review before they will grant permission for you to test. And more than likely you will need to submit everything to them again since so much time has elapsed.
Best of luck to you; you can get thru this exam.
