Failed NCLEX-RN 1st Attempt

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

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.

it doesn't follow that because english is your second language you'll have a problem passing nclex. Your english is excellent so it means language is not the cause of your failure. There are many who are not really fluent in english but still passed nclex.

Goodluck! Be patient and study hard,you can be a RN..

i know how you feel.....i am really sorry for that!

i'm sorry but i have to tell this "pls don't think any negative things about the people on how they say or feel about your failing on the first time, just do your best and take it as a challenged for you, then study hard! take a break and pray hardest. pray b4 and after the test or even during the test, take a deep breath always!

"embarrassment brings failures, :crying2: :crying2: :crying2:

"failure is the mother of success" :yeah::nurse::nurse::nurse:

no harm in trying...... again .......

I took it the 2nd time on August 17, today is Sept. 2 and I still have no result ...horse pile, I may need to go back for the 3rd attempt ...I joined Judo and I am surrounded with mostly Japanese teachers and students and most of them speak English with Japanese accent and we don't put each other down, like repeated questions like "Sorry what did you say again?" "That's the wrong pronunciation." There is so much respect toward each other in the Dojo. I happened to be at a nursing school where hostility toward the ethnic students was cruel. I wish the ethic students who succeeded in nursing school and profession may want to return to school to teach someday. There needs to be more visibility of ethnic instructors to really help ethnic students to feel comfortable learning. Others, you think you can succeed on your won despite of circumstances, I applaud you, but you won't have a peace of mind. Anyways, the past can't be changed, I am moving on ...

I opened the mail having to read "Dear Mr...We regret to inform you that you did not pass the NCLEX-RN examination ..." Waited period from August 17 to September 2. If you waited for more than 4 days for your result in CA, I suggest you better start studying again. Learn it from me, taken it 2 times.

The second page with my ugly picture on it, flips to the back with my performance report, I did worst than the first time.

1st time failed on April 20 ($275.00), 2nd time failed August 17 ($275.00), 3rd time ...I'll be back.

Horse pile:banghead:

if i let god to reign in my heart and god is with me always, i'm sure! i will have a joy and peace of mind.....:yeah: nothing can conquer his power and miracle!!!

go..go...go....success is waiting for you.......just don't give up......

you can do it 100%!

Sorry to hear that.

Maybe you should take one of those refresher courses that they have for nurses who have been out of the field for a long time. It cant hurt, it might help.
