NCLEX Struggle

Published

Hi, so I was wondering what the most times you’ve seen someone take the NCLEX. I have taken it 4x and have not passed yet. I’ve done nsring, Kaplan and uworld. It just feels very depressing right now....any and all comments welcome...

good luck to u

I took KSK over a year ago, so all I have is my book. I took KSK twice. The first time around, I had a miscarriage after completing the course. I had to take a break. I decided to take KSK a second time because I needed motivation. The information stuck the second time because I was adding on to my notes that I had previously. I also sat back & absorbed the information better. Every night, I answered 5-10 questions from UWorld. I matched up the questions with the subject Dr. Khan went over. I never skipped a night of questions. But be sure to read the rationales after each question whether you get it right or wrong. A lot of times, those rationales can explain another question or concept later on. You have to understand the concept to pass NCLEX. They can ask 1 content in 100s of different ways.

I was also working full time. If I can do it, anyone can. It takes a lot of time & commitment to achieve this goal. I know his courses are expensive. It was worth every penny for me. I put it all on a credit card to pay it off. My husband was side hustling doing Door Dash to help me pay for this. You find a way if you want it bad enough. I hope this helps! Good luck!

Thank you! You don't have to use UWorld. Just use any questuion bank & be sure to read the rationale. If you understand the content well enough, NCLEX can ask about 1 subject in 100s of different ways. Dr. Khan breaks down the concent so well so that it will stick in your head. I honestly heard his voice in my head the entire time! Good luck!

Yes Clamchop! I am doing questions with rationales from a book right now and I answered this question hearing his vouce and relating what I learned from him! Repeat it over and over. Antibiotics decrease effectiveness of oral contraceptives! I'm answering these questions remembering Dr. Khan! Thank you Clamchopz! Appreciate your positive vibe ?

Amandity,

First - I want you to know that you are not alone! More than 20% of new grads have a difficult time passing the NCLEX. Over the years, I've met NCLEX candidates who have taken the exam up to 22 times before they finally developed the strategies necessary to pass! SO - I know you may be feeling defeated in this moment, but just know that it is not impossible! With the right guidance and determination - YOU WILL PASS NCLEX and earn your license!

Keep at it - Nursing Needs YOU!

Best,

Amandity,

I failed my first attempt also. I used Nurse Achieve CAT and Kaplan the second time. I did not sit for the test until I consistently was scoring "pass-pass" on the Nurse Achieve CAT exams. You can do it. Good luck ?
