I failed NCLEX again!!!!

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hi everyone,

I took my NCLEX-RN for the 2nd time and Failed. I took it last Monday 10/02/06 and no results on the website. I stopped at 101 or 102 but I know I failed for sure cuz it was getting hard then it got really easy at the end and it just shut off. I feel so sad cuz I had studied my little butt off. I did nearly 5000 questions and read the Saunder's book. I had never wanted anything so bad other than to be an RN. Nobody knew that I took the test other than my boyfriend who was really supportive. The really sad part is, my first test, I got 265 questions. I can't believe I did much worst the 2nd time around. It's really hard to pick up and start studying all over again. Most of my classmate passed and one girl was stressed out and wanted to quit nursing. I was thinking, I would do anything to pass. Thanks for listening and the support. Wishing everyone who is taking or already taken the NCLEX best wishes.

i know how you feel...I also failed nclex on first try with 264 questions-ran out of time. It was hard that I cried a lot. Lucky for me, I passed the 2nd time with only 75 questions.

I used Kaplan, Saunders, Hurstreview.com, and Hesi CD for the 2nd time. Also, I took my time and tried to analyze and apply the strategies (Kaplan and Saunders)to the first 75 questions. I was able to eliminate 2 out of 4 choices, then re read the question and pick between the two that best answer the question. I think it took me 2hours to finish the 75 questions. I know you know your contents well (or you would not reach that far the first time) Maybe you just need to practice test taking skills. Also, if you are anxious, it will affect your thinking ability. Try to take deep breaths every now and then during the test to relax your nerves. Meanwhile, exercise and be good to yourself-and stop being hard on you. Take care

I know exactly what you are feeling. I took mine OCt. 2nd as well and failed for the 2nd time. The hardest thing for me is to bump into people at the hospital from my graduating class and I suddenly feel the urge to hide my ID badge so that they dont' see that I havn't passed yet. By now it's been nearly 6 months since I graduated and Im starting to think I will forget everything I learned about being a practical nurse. For some reason this time I wasn't as devastated because I ran out of time at 210 questions and I just knew I was screwed. I got most of my tears out that night and I fell asleep with a migrain headache. I sat for the entire 6 hours with just one 2 minute break because I knew I was running out of time. How can anyone possibly pass that stupid test after sitting for that long. I realize that i have to start all over again and do what I have to do to pass but first I have decided to nurture myself, take a couple weeks to recoup and deal with some issues of my own like self confidence and self worth. Just Regroup, take a break and do something fun! I know when I do pass it will be the happiest day of my life because it will mark the end to the torture we have both experienced. don't give up. the nursing field needs us. we can do this!!!!

Did someone say that 28 passed her boards? If so i'm very happy for you. I had a feeling that you probably did better than you thought. I'm sure everyone leaves the testing site feeling defeated. Congrats to you. I hope I can say this a year in a half from now.:nurse: :biggringi :blushkiss

yes I did passed Duecson. Thanks.......I celebrated by going to Magic Mountain last night with boyfriend and friends. I was more scared of the darn rides than the actual NCLEX itself. I already got a job and very excited. Wishing everyone the best of luck on their exams and for the people who is waiting for the results.................................
