Don't get discouraged. I am on my 3rd time and I also don't feel good about it. It doesn't mean you won't make a GREAT nurse. It means you have trouble with the test. I can't give you any great advise b/c I have none but just know this...you are not alone.

Look at this thread, it has really help me. Go to the top with google search through allnurses and type in anyone for random fact throwing. Hope it helps, its helped me a lot.

Good luck and don't give up.

Like how b43tands mention, don't get discouraged! Taking the exam itself is a big accomplishment. I also found that this forum helped me a lot while I was studying to take the NCLEX. And the test does not correlate to being an excellent nurse. Stay positive and good luck :)

Sorry to hear you failed, seriously consider Suzanne's plan, all information can be found in the stickies on the main NCLEX forum page

I know you are frustrated having gone through this before, but don't give up. You need a break. Consider Suzanne's Plan. Sorry to hear you did not pass this time. Hang in there. {{{ HUGS }}}
