265 NCLEX-RN and failed

dayo · Jan 14, 2009

Hi everyone,I just got home and when i check my mailbox my son handed me an envelope
from BRN california, i was surprise it was small this time and honestly,knowing it was a small envelope it gave me a little hope that i passed but unfortunately i did not.. well my gut feelings where right and the saddest part is i am near passing standard in every category:crying2: (candidate performance report)...im just glad my liitle boy was there to make me smile..Oh and i have a little notice i can share effective Jan 1, 2009 the Cailfornia BRN will no longer mail the request for repeat exam application.Applicants can download the "Request for re-exam form at the BRN website..Goodluck to all the reviewers and More power to all the nurses..
P.S just for evryone to know i took my exam Dec 23 with 265 items with no math and got the results today Jan.14 by mail..

sorry that you failed. l know how you feel. l failed once too. l took the nclex again on the 13th. l am waiting for the result.

good luck and don't give up.

Sorry to hear that. Im afraid of the same thing. I had 265 on 13th, no math, alot of meds, priority, 2-3 SATA, and ton of infection control. I am on pins and needles.

Hopefully you'll do well the next time. Have you tried Suzzane's Plan... If i failed, thats what im gonna do.

Oh my! It took so long for the mail to arrive. I was thinking that maybe I'll receive the "dreaded mail" today bec it has been 2 weeks since I took the exam. Near passing in all areas mean that you were just a few steps away from the passing line. Unlike me, I only answered 75. It means that I really messed up with my exam. I'll pray for you. I know you can do it next time. Goodluck!

Im so sorry to hear that, try suzanne's plan, I did and I found out today that I passed. Give yourself a week or so to relax and start again. Good luck.

I know it can be discouraging to see you are near passing in every category, but don't let be! I had the same thing the first time i took the NCLEX. I waited a month actually before i took it again. But the second time i took it I passed and felt more prepared. Priorty was what i studied the most and thats what i had alot of questions on. Maybe 1 math and no diagams. So it can be done. Goodluck next time! This made me smile so hope it'll do the same for you LOL

Same thing happened to me. I'm looking to try out suzanne's plan. It seems to work for a lot of people. Good luck on the retake :)

i felt the same way when i saw the small envelope in the mail. but i too failed...again. don't give up. try suzanne's plan. that's what i'm hoping to do also. i have to wait a week though and redo the first part before contacting her again. good luck!

I'm so sorry - that's heartbreaking, I'm sure. I just took the NCLEX-PN yesterday, and my gut feeling, like yours, is that I failed. Best of luck to you on your re-test - by the sounds of your results you are definitely on the right track and I know you'll get it next time :yeah:

Sorry to hear you did not pass this time. Take a break and consider doing Suzanne's Plan. I know and have worked with lots of good nurses who did not pass on their first try. Hang in there.
