need advice..please help!!!

hello to all of you again!!! decided to write again and ask for advice..

i am a us grad of RN programm in los angeles, but its been a while since my graduation almost 6 yrs..i took exam numerous of times and failed , last time i took exam was this May and failed again with 265 questions, i concentrated on studying the content more then doing questions..so my question is what should i do diffrently this time, many advise me to do just questions, as many as i can the more the better..their rational is when i check the correct answer..content will be there in the explanation part..what do u think guys and girls..what should i do?

i am so desperate...and tired..passing boards is a serious matter for me because my happiness and well being of my family depends on it...

i am tired of working as an aide..i love nursing so much and love my patients but cant wait to get my RN title next to my name..

thanks to all and good luck to those who are preparing for the exam!!!

god bless us all!!!

For me,wot i did was to read all the reviews i lay my hands on especially kaplan over and over again then after that,i started answering questions reading the rationales as i answer them.It must be soo hard for you!! dont be tired,u 'll get there ok.

I think you should get a book that has the chapter content and questions for that particular chapter. that way, after u read the chapter, you can do questions that focus on that capter and that way u focus u're studying more.....i am using mosby's comprehensive review and it's helped alot...and when i'm done with all the chapters, there are 2 comprehensive exams that include everything....but definately read the rationales of the questions....hang in there........hope this helps....
