NCLEX-RN, overwhelmed & desperately needs help

[Cannary22, BSN]

Hello Everyone,

I am back to this forum seeking for advice or any ideas that will help me with my dilemma. I took nclex rn twice and failed both, I felt so defeated and took time off from pursuing my career as a nurse. I have some years of experience as a nurse in other countries. Now, I am back because I feel it is time for me to tackle nclex rn the 3rd time, defeat this obstacle and do what I always love to do. At the present, I work as a full time accounting technician, had a wonderful baby boy last December too. I am really stressing out on how to handle my time and schedule, what sort of study plan I should do and what materials or books I should read first. God, I am really feeling overwhelmed. I already submitted my application for nclex rn to my state board of nursing. I am not in a hurry to take the test because I want to study as much as I could but my situation is telling me to do it sooner. I submit my papers because my other documents will expire next month if I did not re-apply soon. At least, retaking ielts and going through cgfns again are out of my worries. If anyone please could give me guidance or recommendations, encouragements, share their thoughts and experiences on how they have dealt with their busy schedules, I will really really appreciate it. Thank you all for your time & effort reading my post in advance.

May I ask what resources you have or what you have used before to study for NCLEX?

I know you can do it just as long as you have faith [:

Hi kdooly,

I did Kaplan course online almost two years ago, read other materials. I have Saunders but never finished it, because of your question I now realize I never really had much of a serious study before. I just relied with Kaplan. I just don't know where to start anymore. Thanks for the encouragement ☺️

There you go! Get serious! Make a study plan and stick with it as much as possible.

I studied content and then did questions and about a week before, I looked over content again while doing questions. I can honestly say I did over 5000+ questions before taking NCLEX which helped build my endurance for NCLEX.

I wish you the best of luck of serious studying!

Get Pearson reviews & rationale

Thank you guys. How long did you all prepare for the nclex?

I was doing questions all throughout school but when Nclex test was close I studied Sanders and maybe 3 weeks before I took test I was using Pearson reviews & rationales

Thank you. I will check Pearson reviews & rationales too.
