I failed nclex rn again...

don't give up, from someone who has failed the nclex multiple times too, you got to keep pushing, once you get the results, focus on your weak points. I wish I could give you more advice other than that.

I am really sorry to hear that but don't give up! I am currently preparing to write my NCLEX for the first time in a few weeks. I was wondering what study materials you used or are planning to use when you re-write? Thank you.

How did you study?

The issue may not necessarily the source of the review, but how one approaches the NCLEX itself: understanding the four concepts of becoming a competent, entry-level nurse:

1. Safe, effective care;

2.Health promotion;

3.Physiological Integrity;

4.Psychosocial integrity

Will determine WHAT the question is asking you; the question may be Respiratory related-but is it a Health Promotion or a Safety, or a Physiological or a Psychosocial one? Would you know the difference and choose the BEST answer?

Once one understands the concepts of NCLEX, they can do so successfully.

Don't look at content; you know most of the material because you passed nursing school; begin to do questions related to each concept; review all questions and rationales; ANY rationale you struggle with, THEN review content. Lather, rinse, repeat.

When practicing the questions, prepare the questions like a mock NCLEX exam, review the minimum and then work up to the maximum for endurance purposes.

After looking at your report, focus on the weakness and review questions and rationales; make mock NCLEX tests and start with the minimum and gradually until the maximum; you have to have an endurance in answering application questions.

After each "exam", make sure you are reviewing the rationales; any rationales you are not clear on THEN look up for content.

I feel you. Trust me I know how you feel. Please don't give up the fight. Review your progress report i call it. The letter you get when you fail.lol. Take a little break to clear your head and get back on horse again. Please remember, the race is not for the swift nor the battle to the strong but to those that endure to the end. ENDURE! ENDURE! ENDURE!

I used Nclex RN Exam Cram that I bought from Amazon. I passed 5 weeks after graduating. I also agree with understanding the four concepts. You can execute the answer by understanding exactly what they are asking you. Because you already know the material from nursing school.
