I thought you were taking NCLEX for the first time? Why freaking out the repeaters haha. Just a thought

Parents spent too much money in school, being pressured and demanded by parents to pass the first time. I am signed up for May.

Ok I understand that, and I am sure everyone spent the same amount of money in school. But this is a support, information (about passing), encouragment (about passing) community/website. That is the only reason I asked you about the post :). Just didn't make sense to show that repeaters can keep failing (watch out) haha. You know what I mean?

In short, its a discouraging post for the students who are repeating. And for yourself its MORE discouraging as you haven't attempted yet. So my advise to you is look forward to passing and discard all this information. From personal experience, thats how I failed 1st time looking at negative stuff.

Sorry not trying to be rude.

I agree with MaleNurseIL, don't fill your mind with negative news especially if your testing date is almost near. Cos once it gets to your head, it's hard to remove that fear in u. Believe in ur self & u can do it.

I apologized to those who I have offended. I am having so many insecurities floating around with family members. They want to help me, but it seems like its the opposite of what they are intending to do. Yes. I agree with Chi80 it is now harder to get it out of my mind. I just want to focus on passing this thing! I need to move on with my life and not have to hear the negativity.

Wow, those are quite interesting statistics. My theory is that those who did not pass it the first time still struggle with the fundamentals of NCLEX taking and the farther out you are from graduation, the harder it is to stay focused.

I've seen that statistics too before my exam. I analyzed it but didn't bother me so much. I focused more on my review and to myself. Stay away from distractions and try to get over your exam as fast as you can. Good luck.
