It's very hard to retake the NCLEX- RN for a second time but figuring out why you failed is even harder. I know for certain that the nursing material wasn't the problem but the strategies and not thinking clearly because of anxiety and a flu is the major reason why I failed. That doesn't help me because I am passing my practice test in saunders NCLEX- RN review. It also seems that my strategies are fine, but sometimes wrong and needs alittle direction. Right now, I study at least 3 hours in the morning and 5 hours at night. I think thats enough because it's working out very well. Does anyone else feel the same way I do it so please share your story, or advice
