I know I am the world's worst procrastinator.. but I've been a graduate since December and tomorrow will be my second time taking the NCLEX~PN. I know I am not going to do good being certain circumstances that have been occurring in my life recently and I haven't studied like I should have and I've come to my deadline to either take it or loose the money I've already spent registering for it. To sum up my experience this year I know my material just never a test taker. I've already paid 3 times to take this test yet tomorrow will only be my second taking it due to a system malfunction this summer and them not reschedualing me (yes.. resulting in a no show). My aunt who fast tracked to LPN then to RN keeps raving to me about Kaplan however I can not find a Kaplan PN program to take other than study books. Should I just go ahead and do the Kaplan RN if I don't pass the PN this time? I feel like I am out of options. I know it's negative but I really don't have high hopes for tomorrow. I know I haven't applied myself the way I should have (family member has been sick and husband has been gone -- military, not to mention I got a pt job to get my mind off the PearsonVue mistake this summer and they're working me like a dog). MY question now is what advice do or would you have for me now...?? I will post if I pass or fail but I am accepting I am going to fail but I can promise I will try my best. I know the NCLEX-RN complete from kaplan is $499... and I am willing to try it... money is not a problem at this time if I can get the material and confidence I need to pass I just want to hear what everyone else has to say before I drop that much money.
Alittle sporatic I know I just need advice... please!!!
I just found out....that after taking 205 questions I didn't pass ...I'm not going to give up, but I really need help on finding a better way to study...if anyone has any sugestions plz help.
Im sorry, but dont be discouraged. Im taking mines for the third time in the next few weeks. I decided this time to study the Saunders 3rd edition. It comes with a companion CD that is really helpful. There is also a website the Board of Nursing referred me to learningext.com. Its an online refresher course. You can sign up for 3, 5, and i think 9 weeks. I was going to do the 3wk for $50, but you have to have a credit card:cry:. My friend just finished taking the 3 week course and she says it has helped her. She will be taking her exam next week. Keep your head up, you will be a nurse!!!Keep the faith!!!!
Thank you forthose words and the information...I took the nclex-pn exam for the second time and I found out that I PASSED!!!After doing 205 questions again...I'm so grateful to God as I know that I could'nt do it without him...God is awesome...This time I didn't have a headache and I didn't want to think anything negative...I hope you do too...Keep the faith.... God bless!:)

Well... I say don't ever give up!!! I graduated in 06 and it took my 4th try to pass to be a PN. I just took it 10-09-09. I found out yesterday from quick results that I passed!!! The first time I took the NCLEX PN was right after school. I had a lot of life changes. I failed.. I was talked into taking it again... and I failed. The third time I failed too. So... was going to just give up. Deep in my heart I knew better then to just give up so I tried it again. 2 years later which was this last Friday and I am so glad I did b/c I passed!!!! So do not ever give up!!!!
I studied from... July until Oct. I used Saunders NCLEX PN 4th edition. I also used Kaplan's Q-Bank for PN. It's basically just practice questions and a book for 129.00. It will give you your score on well your doing through out the course. I probably did 3000 plus questions between Saunders cd and book and Kaplan's Q-Bank questions. I studied for about and hour to an hour in a half a night. I also told myself I was going to be a nurse on 10-09-09. I made and index card and taped it on my mirror in my bathroom. The index card had the date I was taking my test, the time, my name with LPN behind it and a big fat YES!!!! I looked at if everyday. Now I am still floating on cloud nine!!!!
I would suggest Kaplan's Q-bank for PN and Saunders.
i failed nclex 2 times and most questions i got were priorty and got up to 205 what are the tricks of this style of testing for nclex? i did the same thing Saunders the orange book all 66 chapters and nothing remotely the same. it took me 4times to pass the HESI for my school and did it but the state board nothing close i need help please
...I'm not going to give up, but I really need help on finding a better way to study...if anyone has any sugestions plz help.
