Is there still hope

Published

I graduated as BSNursing last 2006. Right after graduation I took up nle but failed. Again I took up..failed, until the 3rd time..failed. I'm desperate. I don't know if I still have career in nursing. What should I do to pursue or should I not.. it's like i'm in a whirlwind.

I think a nursing refresher course would be helpful for you. Also, it would be good if you could enroll in a NCLEX prep course. Call your college to get options for classes that would help. In the mean time purchase NCLEX prep books and work through the questions. Remember, if you were smart enough to get your BSN you are smart enough to pass the NCLEX!

I found the Kaplan study guide to be the best prep for the NCLEX, cost of approx $30 at your local book store. You might also want to consider if anxiety, lack of sleep, or something else is interfering with being well rested and in good shape for taking the exam.

I know a girl who passed on her 4th try and she is a very smart and compassionate nurse.

Are you too anxious when you go. Your anxiety could be making you not think clearly. Get some student help on test taking tips, etc.

Do you suffer from test anxiety? That might be a cause. I went to a refresher course right after graduation. I cannot remember the name of it but it was in simple language with funny examples. The teacher made it fun and gave us tips on how to remember things. I also bought several Nclex books and I took test, after test, after test. Nursing exams are very tricky and if you get used to taking them it decreases your stress. I know super smart great nurses who took several times to pass. Keep the faith and study, study, study. Good luck!!!!:wink2:
