Hi,
Is there anyone here who can HELP me. I am really getting frustrated about this NCLEX-PN exam. This is the most horrible exam i have ever taken in my life. It really take the toll on me. I am afraid to take it..this is my 3rd time and i dont know if i ever pass this exam. It so hard and frustrating so much to read. I hate studying and i've been doing that more a longer time now and still i cant get this to pass this one area..Physiological Integrity...its freaking HARD..i dont understand i can answer most of them but still i get low score when i take practice test ...I HATE IT...it makes me cry from anger..I don't know waht else to do...If cant pass this 3rd time..i will have to force to change career..NURSING IS NOT FOR ME..THIS EXAM IS A LIFE KILLER...

What studying strategies have you been using? Maybe you need to change the book or software that you are using. I used Davis's Nclex-PN book and I passed the first time. Different things work for different people. Dont give up. Remain confident in yourself. I didnt pray a whole lot before, but i tell you what I prayed a lot before i took the test. Dont think of it as a life killer think of it as a beginning. you can do it, 3rd time is the charm! :up:

Please don't look down on yourself...I know exactly how you're feeling right now..it is very frustrating. But never look down on yourself. STay positive and confident. We will pass this test once and for all. Never doubt that. Believe in yourself.

Don't give up!! I have taken the exam several times and will be taking it soon again. I am using a different study plan this time and it's working. Use Sauders to study from, the CD and book. Make up flash cards. Seems like a waste of time but it works. Do lots of questions and read the rationals and understand why you got the question wrong or right, it makes sense!! There are lots of helpful post on here. People are willing to share their knowledge to help you/us be successful at passing this test. Don't give up and pray!! We can make it!!!

If anybody know what your feeling, it's me! I just took my PN exam for the 4th time and I didn't pass. You talk about feeling frustrated, dumb and just want to give up, that's me! I just tested on Aug. 8 and I too had 85 questions, but I'm not trying to discourage you, I'm just simply saying , you are not alone and don't give up!

don't give up. some people are just not very good at taking tests. i have taken the nclex-rn 5 times. i was starting to wonder if nursing was for me but then i realized there is nothing i would rather do. the rewards of nursing definetly outweigh the cons. its very frustrating, i know how you feel but keep your head up!

You said physiological integrity is your problem. These part is basically about your ABCD, how to care for your pt needs, provision of care and physiological adaptation. The basic care part test your knowledge how to care and give comfort and support in your pt ADL. pharmacological part ask you about medication therapy. Also the reduction of risk to complication due to health and unforeseen procedure. You can pm me, maybe we can work things out by creating time for one on one group study. Am willing to give helping hands to student having problem on NCLEX. wish all all the best!
