Hi...I must be dreaming because today I looked on the BRN site and my name was posted. I can't believe it's finally my turn. This NCLEX experience has been quite a struggle. After failing twice and many many tears and hours of hard work later I am a REGISTERED NURSE. The best part of it all is that I've been given a second chance for a new grad NICU position. I am so excited and loving life right now. No matter how hard this obstacle seems keep striving and reaching for this goal....Much love to all who are preparing and waiting for results....my day finally came and it WILL come for you!!!! PEACE!
what did you do to prepare after taking it and not passing? i have taken once and did not pass and i have just been so discouraged, but its time to stop feeling sorry for myself and start studying again so i can pass this test. i didnt put my blood, sweat, and tears into nursing school to not pass. i feel like i've forgotten some basics even though i have only been out of school for 4 months. any suggestions?

Hi Courtney,
The Kaplan RN Complete really helped me along with studying content from the Saunder's Book....what a great reference. The key is to do as many questions as you can. Take notes on what you don't understand, look it up, and review those notes. I did about 1000 the week before the test and didn't study the day before. Good luck! I know you can do it!
