Failed the NCLEX?

These Strategies Will Put You on Track to Pass Next Time

You've completed your nursing education but didn't pass the test that signifies you're ready to become a full-fledged nurse: The National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). How do you bounce back after failing? Nurses who've been there, as well as experts, say it takes inspiration, dedication and diligence.

These tips will help you bounce back and recharge for your next try at the NCLEX:
