help! failed nclex 6 times...

Published

I graduated last year from an accelerated program as an honors student and have failed my sixth attempt this past week. I have utilized everything under the sun....Kaplan, Saunders, Lippincott, LaCharity, along with a tutor. I'm thinking about going forward with Hurst this next time around. I haven't given up and I do not plan to give up. But I am losing a lot of faith in myself and do not know where else to begin to study for the next exam.

The 5th exam shut off at 265 and this last exam shut off at 75. I'm at a complete loss because I thought I nailed the 75 one since I receive a lot of prioritization questions and the last question was prioritization AND it was based off of abnormal lab values. I was 100% sure I got that question right but lo and behold, I saw the big fat F when I paid for my unofficial results on Pearson Vue.

Any advice or direction or books/resources would be greatly appreciated at this point.

Thank you in advance!

I feel the problem is both content, point of view and the language barrier. You weren't taught in the same way, the same knowledge base, nor the same perspective as U.S. nurses were/are.

Remediation and answering many questions might be the best course of action.

You have a very interesting assessment as I was born and raised in the United States and went to a university in Pennsylvania.

Thanks for the tips though!

They didn't quote the member, JCAR that keeps failing and doesn't have English as a primary language, went to school in the Philippines and posted here seeking a state with unlimited NCLEX attempts who it seems they were responding to.

I do recall that post. Thanks for clarifying!

THERE IS HOPE. With lots of hard work and dedication, I am officially a Registered Nurse. For those of you that are struggling, I will be glad to help in any way I can. Please feel free to reach out.

BEST OF LUCK TO EVERYONE!

Hi I want to know how did you study for your exam? We are on the same boat just took my 3rd attempt and still failed. What should I do.

Even though, it's been years, congrats! Hopefully I can pass on my next attempt too!
