12/12/12 nclex takers

rizmei · Dec 13, 2012

I didnt pass according to the trick. Think this career aint for me. Dunno if i should even attempt it again. Im unemployed so i feel i should put the nursing career behind me and just move on and look for a job instead. Did everything i can from saunders to ncsbn to kaplan to hurst... *shrugs shoulders*

Sorry to hear that..I didn't pass my nclex as well but will retake it again. If you really want to be a nurse then don't give up..just try harder the next time..give yourself a lil break for awhile and think it through what you did wrong what needs to be improved with your study habits don't push yourself too hard either..

I was basically doing questions from ncsbn and followed their testing strategies and read from saunders content i got wrong. I felt that saunders was toooooo intense as far as content. When i tried reading the chapters i felt sleepy and bored... What do you suggest? My husband asked if there were nclex tutors bjt they are expensive..

I too get sleepy and bored when reading the saunders chapters BUT i force myself to keep reading. Keep in mind without CONTENT there would be no license because you wouldn't be able to answer anything correctly. I found that knowing content even patho physiology helped me answer questions better or should I say, I am getting more correct answers than wrong.

To prevent from getting sleepy and getting bored what I do is I go back and take notes on a index card. I read half the chapter and I go back from the beginning and take notes. As I read I highlight the information I want to put on my card. This way you are not just reading it once, I find that writing it down forces you to understand it more. You wont write something down if it doesnt make sense right?

I am using the same materials as you with the exception of PDA, and exam cram. Don't give up and just stay focused. Atleast you have one supportive husband, maybe a remedial course might help.

I totally agree with greentealover....I used the same strategies. Iluvnursing07: I failed the first time and the second time I took it 2 days back and got the good pop up. By all means, I am not the smartest kid out there but for me to achieve things in life, I have to work extra hard than others. Trust me, I struggled through out the process but I did not give up on myself and I did not give up on God. So if I can do it, so can you! If you need any help, I would be happy to help you! Please message me your email address and I can email you information as well as the materials I used. And we can also assess what you are having trouble with...Wish you all the best and praying for your success!! and remember you are not alone..we are all here with you and been through it not once but many times!

Thanks everyone for the support amd advices. Waking up this morning while praying and saying my daily rosary i sincerely broke out in tears and wouldnt stop. But it felt so good! Glad to know that i have alot of people who understand where im coming from. I feel like im going through the stages of denial,anger etc etc... But i know that i need to put my past behind me and start all over like fresh... Its going to be tough but i know i need to work harder....

Hi everyone. I just wanted everyone to know that i have signed up for the Hurst live review. It was for free since i took it january of this yr. I asked God to lead me in the right direction and for some reason i logged into my hurst account and they were offering one by my house 10 min away. Only problem it was only being offered 12/17 to 12/19. I know its to early and havent received my csr but my husband said i need to jump at the opportunity and regardless of the outcome of my exam yesterday it was a good starting point that God gave to me....
