How do you get over failing NCLEX

[Oo1244]

Hey guys. So I recently found out that I failed my NCLEX. Haven't said anything to my parents because I don't know how to tell them. In the moment I am numb of feelings. All my classmates have been passing and I think I'm the first to fail. I don't know what I'm supposed to feel and I think my greatest fear is telling my parents.

Although I tend to be strong headed at times, all I ever truly want is to make life easier for my parents and family. To pursue the life I truly want. I've become matured mentally that I don't care about what people say. I just care about hurting my family. You'd think that with me being familiar with failure I would have gotten used to it by now.

Please tell me how I'm supposed to feel because I know eventually that telling my parents would eat me up.

Give yourself a day or two. Day 3 should be better, I promise!

I also failed with 265 Questions and was so devastated. I didn't sleep for a few nights but I eventually got over it, told the people I love and moved on. I told myself I will be a RN, nothing will stop me. Continue where you left off, 45 days comes quicker than you think.

Good luck.

I recently failed with 265. I agree, the first 2 days are the worst. Every time I thought about my results, I balled my eyes out. Although all my friends passed, they have been my biggest motivators to get it on the next try. My family has been supportive and understanding too. Give yourself a few days, pick yourself up, and come up with a game plan to succeed on the next try. You've got this!

Im guessing you graduated in December? Well, I'd say take your time to cope and process about the failure, and get back on the ball. I don't know your family, but if you got pass nursing school they've most likely support you all the way. Don't be afraid to tell your loved ones you failed they will catch you when you fall and help you pick up the pieces. I personally know this because I am getting ready to retake the NCLEx once again, and my family and friends are all supportive and check up on me. I come from a circle of friends who are practicing nurse in their respective areas, and my mom is a nurse also. I'm hoping the best for you and in the future if you don't give up you will become the RN that you deserve!!
