I am so lost....

I took the NCLEX on Tuesday & failed (265 questions....it was awful)

I had a really good job at the VA lined up to start on October 7th, but obviously that's been rescinded. I don't know what to do now. Luckily I still have my job that I was working while going to school so that's good. I am staying positive & keeping my head up, but it's so hard when my classmates are passing & moving on to their jobs.... All I have ever wanted to be is a nurse, & I have no confidence in my ability now.

Anyway, enough whining! anyone have any advice for the next time around? I did the Kaplan course, but honestly hated the "decision tree" BS, & didn't feel prepared when I took the exam. Is Hurst any good?

I need a little help if anyone has any words of wisdom.

    Sorry to hear that you failed but don't beat yiur self up. I know people who have had to take it three times vefore passing. Dont loose iur confidence because it will juat make it harder to bkubce back. I also did Kaplan did you finish all if the qbank questions and stick to the study schedule that was given ? I passed with 75 questions and I followed kaplan and used the yellow saunders book for content refreshing. Keep focused yiu passes the hardest part nursing school and you landed a great job so you know that when you do pass you will have no problem finding a job. Kill the nclex nxt time around!!!!

    Interesting, I did Kaplan and passed with 75 q's at 65 minutes. Really look at the decision tree again and do ALL of the Q-bank questions. It sucks but you have to do it...

    keep your head up and try not to worry too much about what others are doing. Focus on what you need to do.

    First time I did not pass and felt miserable, my classmastes were moving on too, but I found myself appreciating the fact that I had completed nursing school and this was going to be my battle despite what others had done.

    so i did Kaplan and saunders, would do 300 questions a day, watched the teaching videos and read saunders as a backup for my wrong my answers . Stay positive, take your time and focus on you. Good luck!
