How Come I'm unalbe to pass NCLEX practice test required for graduation?

Published

hi there everyone who is reading this. i am a nursing student at BM college. when i first started i was so excited i had so much confidence and enthusiasim to become an LPN. The months went on and on they just flew on by until now! i am in my last month (preceptor) and everything is falling apart on me such as; I CANT PASS THE NCLEX test that the school requires for us to take and pass with an 80% or higher or we have to retake it over again and pay $1700.00 for that i cant afford. i failed the first time and i am now taking it for my second time still with no luck of passing i am still getting really low scores and i just cant figure out why? i study and study all night long (when my children are sleeping) thats the only time i have. i know the school is just trying to prepare us for the actual state test but OMG! This is so rediculous who can afford 1700.00 for only 6days of testing that is all that is allowed, but we are allowed to stay and practice if we want to, i am married with two children and have bills to pay. they say "oh we will work with you dont worry and then the next thing i know i am dropped from the school????? with no explanation WHY? NOTE: that i have already been in the class three times prior to this phone call. so then i had to go in and figure out why i was dropped... 2 hours went by and finally they tell me that i am undropped and allowed to stay in class all due to the fact that i wasnt told that i had to repackage with financial aid. All is settled now and i had $466.00 left over but WHERE AM I GOING TO COME UP WITH 1300.00 DOLLARS BY THE END OF JANUARY? im not rich.. Ive told the school "YES" i know it will pay off in the end "BUT" my family comes first i cant cut back on food or bill money just because they want their money by a certain date! my husband is the only one who works. that is the whole reason why i am going to school so he doesnt have to bust butt everyday so hard like he does to bring money in i would like us to be able to do this together, but i dont see that happening when this school is costing us so my money.. i dont know what else i can do. all i do is sit and think, study and cry then think and then cry and study some more.:sniff: how can i do this? i really dont have a clue. i am trying to juggle a house, kids, husband, money for bills, food, studying for the test and coming up with the money that i dont have.....

thanks so much for listening

i have no one i can talk to about this so i figured i would write about it instead!:cry:

from your writing, i highly suspect you've developed information overload.

since your retake will be in january...i'd take the rest of this week off except for required classwork. give your brain a rest. do not study for two days before the test. unable to help with financial matters....

other hints: information overload

$1700 per test wooooow are you serious? that's really ridiculous, thats a ripoff OMG. anyway NRS maybe right, sounds like ur stressing a lot resulting to inability to focus/concentrate, why don't you take a vacation with your family, leave the nclex thing behind relax first, unwind then set a goal like by the end of this month i will be able to finish the whole saunders book or ask a friend to guide you or have a mate to study. if its me reading bymyself is not gonna work coz of the sedating effect of books on me its inversely proportional to my eyes if the book opens my eyes close hehehe, so whats effective for me is a group study or a classroom setup review. find whats best for you then invest on that even if you have to pay, but not $1700 everytime shoot i can't get over that lol. anyway goodluck and God bless
