just failed my second attempt to the NCLEX, so bummed

Just got my quick results back from pearson vue today (half hour ago) that I have failed and I really do not know what else to do. I do know that I don't want to pick up another NCLEX book for a very long time. I have given my life up to studying for this test, I honestly don't know what more to do! I've done ATI questions, Kaplan Review course (twice) including the question trainers and qbanks. I've studied saunders EVERYTHING and i failed twice!!

I have been a honor roll student and deans list student all my life. Graduated nursing school with a decent GPA, I honestly don't know what more to do to pass this exam. I feel so dumb, and embarrassed. I graduated all the way back in August 2010 and want to start working as an RN already!! I can't take the anxiety that this test has given to me and my life, good riddance NCLEX.

Anyone else in the same situation? I feel so alone in this process, i'm at a loss of what to do.

    that's what i feel when i failed nclex twice too. i am a good student and done well in school like you. but maybe there are still things which i did not know. get back on your feet, we will make it the next time.. Pray and be with positive friends.

    I will never give up..i tried to be strong and focus the life that awaits us when we will get that license.. WE can make it,sure we can! Good Luck to all of us

    Give yourself a couple of days to go through the bad feelings, then pick yourself up and make plans to retest. You can do this if you keep trying.

    Are you changing answers on your exam and second-guessing yourself on the NCLEX? I found myself doing that and should have stayed with my first answer. Anyway, just keep trying and best of luck to you. I know how horrible you must feel.

    I feel your pain and I am in the same situation as you are....I have taken it 3 times now and I graduated in May 2010 and it is just depressing. I have really bad text anxiety and I am trying to conquer that in addition to studying. I just don't have any motivation to study anymore but I know I need to. I graduated with a 3.5 from nursing school and was on the Dean's List throughout my 4 years of college. There were girls I graduated with that barely graduated, had c's all the way through the program but they passed on their 1st or 2nd tries, it makes me feel dumb. But I know I am not and I just have to keep trying! We will do this!

    i failed last november and it was the hardest thing to accept but eventually i'm back again and going for my second and hoping my final attempt for this exam. I graduated april of 2010 it took me a while to process because i'm an international graduate. I share your pain, and goal of passing to become an RN. NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER QUIT-BY WINSTON CHURCHILL..this actually the first time i finally wrote down how i feel after failing the exam...and I want you to know that you are not alone in this battle..Good luck to us! :) just don't give up..if you feel like you're going to hell right now just keep going......life is beautiful my friend...
