I took NCLEX for my second attempt today. For those of you didn't know, I took it first try in June and I went the full 265 questions only to fail. I felt miserable and not a day went by that I wasn't angry at myself wanting another shot. 45 days later and I took my exam today. It shut off at 75 questions and when I did the PVT I got this message, "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Member Board for further assistance. Another registration cannot be made at this time."
Tell me good news, folks!

eyy!!!congratz!!! how did u study?? can u share some tips?? did u enroll in kaplan?
I used ATI online course review. I don't recommend it at all. The coaches don't really do anything for you and it's not user specific. It's a set program for every individual and doesn't work towards your certain needs. I don't know what other programs though, if it is the same way.
http://www.scribd.com/doc/25855834/Nclex-Study-Guide - I read this once a day for the entire week before my exam.
rn pedia . com - (Can't link this on this forum for some reason so I spaced it) A ton of questions there and I noticed after reading that review above a few days that questions were becoming a lot easier to answer. Because no certain criteria on boards is guaranteed I just did question after question.
Also I bought the NCLEX-RN 2010-2011 Edition Kaplan: Strategies, Practice, and Review book. Also sat in on a free online kaplan seminar that gives you a free practice at the end. I did whatever I could to get exposed to as many questions as I could.
thanks for the link i am going to print that and read it like my bible
I suggest switching it up every time you read it. Start with page 1 on some days and then start from the end on others. That way you are getting experienced to all of the material while you're most fresh. 35 pages of straight knowledge is a lot, so you may be burned out by the end.
thanks
