I have tried to pass NCLEX 4 times with no luck. I have used Kaplin books and other study guides. I actually get sick on the day I take the test from fear. I have never felt this way before. I passed the LPN test with no problems but each time I go to take the RN I get terrifed. any suggestion on this would be appricated.:bowingpur

Don't give up. Consider using Suzanne's plan this time and study as if you haven't tested before. Learn and practice relaxation techniques to deal with your anxiety. Good luck.

I have also failed the nclex-rn. I am considering taking the pn exam. How was it different from the rn exam? Was it a lot easier?
Thanks

First, I would like to say, Lift your chin up. Your not the only one in that boat. I am as well. The most inspirational thing I found was a comment that was made about a nurse that took it 5 times, and she is an NP now, and a great nurse at that.
THis is no ordinary test, and its not bc your stupid. Some of the best students had to take it more than once.
Please take a break, and then find the hope to do it again. I would def consider Suzannes Plan.

Hang in there and keep your head up!!! I have failed in 3 times and I like you get really nervous and scared before I take the exam! We are going to make great nurses and nothing is going to stop us!! I used Kaplan for 2 of the times that I took the exam and it didn't help me either:crying2: I have heard great things about Suzanne's plan and I am going to try it as well. Best of Luck to you and I will be praying for you!!
The Pn test was alot easier for me, but this exam is kicking my butt. I work as a LPN for 3 years and thought this exam would be a lot like the PN was I ever wrong. I will try anything to help with passing this one.

first of all forget that you are a LPN, this will help you alot. I know I have been a LPN for 13+ years and when I took the exam on 2/16 I failed it due to I was thinking of what I do as a LPN and not what I should be doing as an RN. Also try the program everyone is talking about which is Suzanne's Plan. Last but not least do not give up you can do this, you finished RN school now anything is possible!!!!!!!
