Help me.. Nclex 6th time..

Published

Hi.

I'm a international from Asia, and I'm a registered nurse in my country.

I immigrated to here, Cali, around 2years ago, and that time I started study for Nclex- rn myself.

I used saunders review book, Hurst review course, and Kaplan Q bank.

Today, I took a nclex that was my 6th test.

When I take a test first time i got 75 questions,2nd-86,3rd-75,4th-75,5th-76,

and today I got 75 questions.

After test, I tried new PVT. I did't see the good sign. I can pay for next registration.

( I didn't pay yet. I didn't push the reciept sumit.)

I just depressed and asked to my self " What is a problem? Am I really stupid?"

SO... Please, Give me a advice for my next test.

How about Kaplan review course? or just review my stuffs?

or.. please, Give me a miracle like my PVT was wrong..

Hello and welcome

I would suggest waiting for official results and see what it says before you do anything. This will give you time to take a breather

You actually need to click submit to know if it works now because they changed it since August2014.If your payment go through,then you fail but it is says otherwise,it work and definitely not hold.Try Hurst review incase is not what you expected.

You really need to re think your entire strategy for this test. Obviously whatever you're doing is not working. Stop. I think you need to do a little soul searching, meditation and re think the test. This is particularly true if English is not your first language.

I'm a foreign born, but educated in Nursing in the US. I can see your frustration. I also felt down when I failed my 1st nclex. It took me a year to recuperate and prepare enough to go for the 2nd time and retake nclex. I passed the 2nd time with 75 questions.

What I changed was the way I studied. I did a mental review daily after studying. I explained what, how, when, and the what ifs. Because in nclex world everything is wrong. Prepare again, strong, focused if you need to retake it. Best wishes.

I will suggest that u talk to Amy Lopez. Shez good. Also, I will recommend that you get: Saunders 6th and ncsbn learning ext and LaCharity prioritization, delegation and Assignment: practice exercises for the NCLEX examination, 2e or 3e is fine. Don't give up. I can feel your frustration. The secret is you can if others have done it. Be strong.

You might want to take a ESL (english second language) course. While you are proficient in communicating maybe you need assistance with how the test is worded. English can be a difficult language to grasp. I have had other IEN nurses tell me that is what they did and it helped.
