Published

Its been a long and hard 3 years since nursing school. I took the nclex 4 time already and had fail them all.. I decided to take the anderson view which I find that it is helpful but was still unsuccessful. All my classmate and friend whom I work with had move on except fot me. This make it harder and I felt like a failure.. Should I keep trying or just quit and find something else to do. I currently work as a CNA which is not an easy job.

Try UWORLD it's hard but its all above passing level questions so if you get them down most people pass . Good luck

I suggest the Kaplan Premier Book for strategy, the Saunders Comprehensive book for content and Uworld for questions. Since you finished a while back, for content you may wanna try NCSBN's nclex review its cheap and very good. The test plan just changed this year, although slightly but NCSBN has the most updated test plan info so that may help you to key in on the topics and knowledge that is necessary to pass. Don't use too many resources, I always tell people to stick with 3 only (content, strategy and questions) and do one at a time in that order. Good luck!

If you can afford the Kaplan course, that's what I would suggest. I believe Kaplan is what helped me pass my first try in 75 questions a year and a half after graduating. They really train your brain to think NCLEX and show you exactly how to break down each question. Plus they give you videos, Question Trainers (practice tests), and QBank (a bank of tons of questions which you use to create your own tests). I did every single Question Trainer and used QBank for my weak areas. I read every single rationale, even for correct answers. I think the Kaplan test questions set you up for the difficulty of NCLEX. A lot of books just aren't as hard as NCLEX. Kaplan questions are difficult like NCELX, maybe even more difficult. They really prepare you.

Hey,

any luck with passing ? Any updates . I have failed as well. I recommend hurts is really good and uworld. Do a heavy content review .. That's all you need and do as much question as possible.

Keep on trying. Sounds like your methods of studying may not be all that effective.

I wanted to mention one thing about what I quoted: If you think CNAs have it tough, wait until you get into nursing. You have all of the responsibility of a CNA and more.
