Have you faild the nclex and feel the exam could have been unfair?

Published

I have taken my nclex three times and failed. I am not ashamed to say this because as I have felt with the first exam I feel the questions I was asked were completely unfair and not basic nursing knowledge. In fact it seemed more like trivial pursuit for nurses. I am interested in others that have studied and in spite of their studying cannot pass their exam. Afterall, we graduated from nursing school so this exam should not be so mysterious.

As far as I am concerned the way that it stands now their is no way to regulate this exam. You never see your score, everyone gets a diferent exam, you have to take their word for it or pay to challenge(300-500). Many states do not allow you to challenge nclex items at all.

I am interested in hearing thoughts on this I KNOW I am not alone.
