NCLEX-PN -- second time around [need encouragement]

Published

I just graduated this June 2009 from a local private college. I was the 5th PN graduate to take the NCLEX-PN--and first to fail!!!!!! [depressing :bluecry1: ] So far, I am one of two that failed [at least I'm not alone--right!!!?!]. There is only 3 left in our class of 18 total that still need to take it--I have no doubt in my mind they will pass. I am so depressed, I feel like I am a stupid-idiot. I don't even know why I'm posting this, I guess for therapy--I feel like I have no one to talk to. :zzzzz After reading a few of the stories on here, I don't feel so bad. I am actually inspired [thank you allnurses] to pick myself up, try harder, study harder and pass the second time around [still depressed though]. I went to the book store and bought, 'NCLEX-PN Review made Incredibly Easy'. So far it's a good read with great info.

I need to buy a book for idiots--do they have one??--lol! :chuckle

Anyone have thoughts/advice on other resources??? [i have two different DVDs w/ NCLEX-type study questions, also ATI books, DVDs and online practice testing.] I probably have all the resources I need, I feel like no matter what I study it's not going to be the information I test on--it's the roll of the dice! :confused:

For now, I wait for my new test date. :typing

My goal: to PASS the NCLEX-PN in September '09!!!

:ancong!: We knew you could do it! :hpygrp:

I graduated from my lvn program last january..i have taken the nclex twice and failed it. I was above average on one section and average on the rest. This test is comsuming my life i feel like a failure..when i think about this test i get sick blahhh...i want to study and take it again but as soon as i get my books and discs ready the depression and reminder of failing comes back. Am i crazy? I have never failed anything before..and this test is super important..i want to get my rn and be done with school so my family and fiances family will stop asking .."why arent u a nurse yet..yada yada". Please someone help..and need some serious advise from someone who has been in my shoes!
