Nclex RN...retake in few weeks...prayers needed.

Published

Hi all! I'm new to sign up for this site. I've been reading and reading about those that have passed, failed and have yet to take the Nclex RN. I will admit that I have failed three times:( I have been an LPN since 2007... Passed PN Nclex first time. I graduated ADN may 2013 and took my first try July 25,2013. I honesty didn't prepare well back then...kinda figured I could always take it again...but after failing the second time (sept 13,2013) I was totally devastated and depressed:( I don't like to make excuses for myself but I did have a lot going on during those time periods( running 3 teenagers to-from work n friends houses, fiancé laid off from job- I live with him, and struggling to look for a part time job for myself)..Anyhow, I eventually picked myself up and developed a study plan and this time had to have a tutor per my BON. Needless to say I felt ready to try again by first of December but my BON lost my paper work and my tutor letter etc...was horrible experience! I Finally retook Feb 22,2014. I had 75 ques and got home did pvt...right to cc pg:( Wow...I totally didn't know what to think at first...I really studied my butt off! After a week of mourning....I decided I was ******! I'm going to kick this test in the A$&!!!!!!! I've fought anxiety all of my life.....however I felt calm that last try...the first two times I took it...I took at 2pm....not good...was constantly rereading ques and refocusing:( Last time I took at 8am. ( First 2 tests I had around 110 ques)...

So since March 3rd I've been doing 150-200 ques/day minus sat/sun. I have been using Exam Cram, PDA, Nclex 4000, and two was ago purchased the ncsbn 3wk--- which has been great! I used Saunders,exam cram prior.

~~sorry for rambling but really wanted to get my story off my chest and let others know they're not alone. ;)

I have my 4 th try scheduled for April 24... Prayers appreciated:) since mar 3rd I have been planning a wedding, found out my fiancé is getting laid off again...and I actually start my part time job the 25th...day after nclex.....Yikes! Although there's a lot going on I feel better prepared and focused for this one! I am going to pass! I will have RN after my name!

Please pray for me and I'll do the same for u! :)

I have a kind of similar story that i wasnt prepared for the first one and then the second one i felt like i did and didn;t pass and i was sooo upset about it. I am really ready for this new exam date though and hopefully we will both pass! good luck!!!

Sounds like you are definitely prepared this time! I was in your place a few years ago and it took me changing my whole study habit to finally pass. Good Luck!!

Thanks guys! I have the ncsbn online program until Wednesday the 16th at 11.59pm....my test isn't til 24th.... I'm not sure what I should study that last week.... I wish the ncsbn had a few days extension so I can keep reviewing... I guess I should've paid attention when I paid for it so I could have it to use until 2 days before test day. Anyone have any advise on what good material I can use that last week? I've used exam cram and saunders so much in the past that I'm familiar with the questions. :/
