I'm sorry to hear that you failed. You sound like you have a great attitude about everything, and I have a feeling that because of that - you WILL pass the next time!!!

Camkib - Hi there! I just want to applaud you for your positive attitude. I think it is great. I myself have failed the NCLEX twice all ready and I know EXACTLY what you went through. I thought I would never be able to come out of my depression type state. I was a mess and then I pulled myself together and failed yet again and was furious. I couldn't understand WHY this was happening to me. I was a wonderful student and I can't seem to pass the test. I took it again for the 3rd time on June 18th and I have a strange really that it didn't work for be again, but I'm okay with that. I'm going to PREPARE in a totally different way and see if that works. I have pretty much had it with taking the NCLEX, but I'm vowing to myself that if I did fail this time I will NOT fail a 4th time. It's just NOT going to happen.

I just want to tell you to keep the positive attitude and remember your NOT a failure, it just wasn't destined to be this time. You WILL pass the NCLEX. I truly believe it!!!!

I took the NCLEX-RN last monday 6/20 and failed.............. today I got the official letter informing me of my failure. I went through all the stages of death...anger, denial....etc :chuckle When I was finished dying I decided to pick myself up and get prepared so that I can take it again..................I WILL pass this exam the next time I take it! And I will also share what I have learned from this experience to any future nurse who is even remotely curious.

I'm sorry you both failed. That's really tough! We are all afraid of failing this exam. This is why we act the way we do. I'm glad you learned from this experience and will share it with others. There is alot of information here to help you get prepared next time. Good luck!!

Brandi, I'm sorry you failed again. Big hugs! You can do it and you have the right attitude!

I took the NCLEX-RN last monday 6/20 and failed. I had a job lined up to begin today. I live in a state that does not offer the quick results, but I realized I failed when my friend who I went to take the exam with told me that she checked the BON automated license verification line. I checked---and nothing was there. I had all weekend to come to terms with it and today I got the official letter informing me of my failure. I went through all the stages of death...anger, denial....etc :chuckle When I was finished dying I decided to pick myself up and get prepared so that I can take it again. I always thought that I would be embarrassed if I failed, but now that I've actually done it....it's more a feeling of disappointment in myself for not preparing like I know I should have. I don't know what is going to happen with my job. I haven't been able to get in touch with the nurse recruiter since Friday when she told me that if I didn't have a license number by 3pm that I wouldn't be able to start today. I'm not sure I want to work as a CNA because I need to study. I WILL pass this exam the next time I take it! And I will also share what I have learned from this experience to any future nurse who is even remotely curious.

I am sorry that you did not pass. I CERTAINLY empathize with you. I failed it twice & got it on the third time. I was so hurt. But I think it had more to do with what other people would think of me. My husband was very supportive with regards to that! Everyone was very supportive. I wanted to take the test again, but then again, I did not. I rescheduled it at least 10 times! The good thing is that you have an idea of what to do next time to prepare. I also knew that I didn't prepare enough the first two times. I know that people say that you cannot know everything, & that's fine. However, I KNEW that I could have done more with the materials that I had in my possession. You seem to have a very positive attitude, which in my opinion is half the battle! Good luck.

Good luck to you. Sorry to hear about this, but you have a good attitude.

I am very sorry you didn't make it. I was sure you would....I think you should work part time as a CNA to keep you in the mind frame and give you a bit of a break from studying....just work a few days a week...this will still leave you plenty of time to study. I have a cousin who failed and she worked as a CNA and only worked parttime...she said it was the right thing to do...shwe was still making a few bucks....still doing medical stuff and could ask the nurses questions....and had plenty of time to study...she passed second time around.

I wish you luck..................THRESSA
