This bold phase in capitalized letters, "HAS NOT PASSED" revealed in front of my eyes as I stared at my NCLEX RN exam result in a thin envelope mail sent from CA BRN. The waiting period of 15 days came to end. My hopes for a bright future in nursing came crashing down. My voice started to cry out, "You're a dead fish!" My school will harsly criticized me. My professors will firmly believe that I have a "significant" language barrier because English is not my first language. They already started to profile anyone whose English is not his or her language to fail NCLEX RN when I came to school. I knew from beginning that I was a suspect to fail NCLEX-RN. Now, I have became a real statistic for the school to celebrate. Not only my school, but also my family will now doubt my intelligence. My parents supported me for almost 4 years to finish nursing school, now they feel they have wasted their time and money on me. Last but at least, my peers will be laughing at my failure. I am a grown man, but failing NCLEX-RN on first attempt have reduced me down to a level of dirt for my professors, family and peers to step0n.
I appreciated this forum to share my experience of failing NCLEX-RN.
