Nclex Rn Retakers

Published

For those who didn't pass the NCLEX RN the frist time: How many months did you study before you schedule your test the 2nd time around? I have just finished Suzanne's 1st tip and waiting to do the actual plan (which is about 6 weeks). I am determined to do whatever it takes to pass this tie around, but at the same time, I feel I will forget things that I have studied and learned from school and from reviewing.

I am in your situation also. I just failed and started Suzanne's plan myself. I would like to take it ASAP because I need to start working. I don't know if I should re-register now or wait till I'm done with the plan. Any suggestions?

Hi there, two days ago I just learned that i didn't pass the nclex RN again...for the 7th times. It really made me feel that I am a worthless losser.( failing several times really took a big chunk of my self esteem ) Then goes the hard part...telling my wife that i failed again, of course it took me a day to muster all the necessary confidence to tell her the bad news. After telling her the only response she gave is hugging me for a minute and telling me that she and our kids loved me so much regardless of what I am while I broke in tears. Right now all I have is mix feeling of pursuing another career or go back review again for the test. But i feel that i have exhausted all the techniques and studying that i know how also have gone to a couple of formal review classes. Is there anybody out there who can please give me pointers or any advice on how to review the proper way? Thanks in advance.

:crying2:
