I failed NCLEX twice! What should I do?

Published

Hi,

i am a foreign graduate of BS nursing. I failed Nevada NCLEX twice.

My first attempt, I had 120+ questions... 2 SATAs, 3 Computations, and bunch of prioritizations.

Before my 2nd try, I really studied hard. Months of sleepless nights... reading, studying, familiarizing, etc.

But on my NCLEX I only got 1 SATA and No computations. I felt really bad because I know I gave my heart out just to pass the exam.

I don't know if the Nevada is really strict on allowing foreign RN to pass the NCLEX or is it just not my time to pass.

I've heard that if ever I want to take the NCLEX for the 3rd time, I should write to the Board a plan of study? Can somebody help me on this? To whom should I address the letter?

--- please suggest any review material that I can use.

Thanks!

The state of Nevada has no control over what you do on your NCLEX. It is up to you to pass. Just get yourself together and prepare again for the test. Do not give up.

you need to do alot of practice questions , what the poster said above is true .. you decide by your answers if you pass or not the BON has nothing to do with it... you can pass this .. be positive and do it !!!

thank you for your replies. I'm just confused coz the 1st time I took the exam, I wasn't really prepared.. but I had 2 SATAs... My 2nd attempt, I really studied hard but 1 sata only.

anyway.. I will try again. I am not losing hope.

If ever I plan to apply to other state, which state would you recommend? Thanks!!!
