NCLEX Today Bad Popup

Published

So today was my 2nd attempt at the NCLEX. I got through 258 questions that I thought were reasonably do'able. I thought I had passed. Even bought a celebratory dinner for us on the way home. I get home, my hubby does the PVT .... I let him because I was so sure I had passed.... and it went to the place asking for credit card information. To day I am in a bad place right now is putting it mildly. I failed, I am a failure. So much was riding on this. I don't have the money to take it a 3rd time and to tell you the truth I don't think I could study any more than I already have. I did the Hurst live review. I've studied Kaplan, Lippincott and done more questions that I care to think about...and I still FAILED. Maybe I AM TOO OLD. Maybe this was my chance and I let it slip away. I'm hurting, I'm tired and I just don't have the opportunity to try again. I must go back to working a real job or we will lose our house and car. I don't have a choice. I gave it all I have to give. I passed nursing school but I can't get passed the state board exam for TN. I hope the rest of you did.

I'm so sorry.... but just wait to see what your results say. Don't give up hope yet!! Hopefully you're the small percentage of people that get the "bad pop up" and pass!!!

Don't give up you didn't go to nursing school for nothing. Look at your CPR to see what area you struggled in and focus on those areas and come back stronger also do NCSBN course they are the ones who write the NCLEX I did their 3 week course it's only $50 and get LaCharity Delegation book.

The others are right. Now is not the time to give up. I don't know what your age is, but I was 45 when I took the NCLEX-RN. Returning to nursing school was a challenge for me, too, since it had been more than 20 years since I was in nursing school. Back then, the NCLEX was on paper. I tried a community college but could not make it through algebra or science labs. If you've done those, you can surely get through the NCLEX. Review your report and start again. You've come too far to quit now!!! You CAN and WILL do this!! Regroup and good luck!

I'm so sorry, I know exactly how you feel because I felt the same way 2 months ago and up until today I'm in denial, I cant afford a review course and I don't know what to study anymore, i gave it my best and I still failed...I had so many plans and now I'm lost, worst part is that nobody in my family understands my pain not even my husband, they think it was my fault and that I'm being too dramatic. Anyways, I'm trying to stay positive and all I can tell you is to give yourself sometime to heal and pray to God everyday to give you the strength and possibility to start preparing again. Look for inspirational stories I read one yesterday about a lady that took it 7 times and she finally passed. Don't give up, she didn't specially if you have your family's support.

Don't give up. Give yourself a break, make some money, relax. Hey you still don't know.. you may have passed. If not don't loose hope. You can do it!
