Need prayers, just failed for the 4th time on NCLEX RN :(

Published

:confused:

i am so very distraught, i am really at my wit's end!!

i graduated nursing school in may 2006. i just sat on january 18th, 2011 and had 75 questions and just found out that i did not pass.

i have always dreamed of being an rn since i was a child, i have test anxiety, but i really felt that i had a peace about me finally when i had sat. only to find out i was not going to get those precious letters i dream of after my name!!

i was a medical assistant/phlebotomist/cardio tech for 15 years prior, i feel that my past experience has hurt and aided me in my pursuit of nursing.

i prayed, and i wonder if god doesn't want me to be an r.n., or is it possible he is just saying not now?

any help/advice would be appreciated.

god bless all,

jo anne

Don't give up, maybe you took too long. You graduated in 2006 but just took your boards? I know a successful lawyer who passed his bar the the 5th attempt because like you they're a horrible test taker. Hang in there and don't you dare give up on your dream you can do it.

TY GCW - I have taken it 3 other times since I graduated not including this last attempt.

I have had some " bumps in the road " that I was unable to fully focus on NCLEX, and that is why it has taken so long.

I will not give up, I don't think my inner voice would allow me to!

If this is your dream do not give up. You are capable of passing this exam. You have already passed the RN program. Maybe you need to revamp your study plan. Use your letter you received to come up with a study plan based on your strengths and weaknesses. Someone just posted a really good website called Exams- RNpedia. I believe it is listed under the home or nurses page. Get yourself a good support system. Give yourself a break before you continue your test preparation. Not knowing what methods of reviewing you have already engaged in the previous attempts I can only suggest you continue with your dream of nursing. Prayers in progress for you. Best wishes and be encouraged. Prayers go up and blessings come down.:redpinkhe:redpinkhe:redpinkhe

Give yourself time to grieve and then start to assess the way that you have been studying, have they been the same way, with the same material all four times. If so you have to do something different if you want a different result. Don't give up though I know students who have taken NCLEX more than this but passed. Good luck!

Perhaps a review course might be in order. A little push start. Just don't give up. Others have passed with multiple attempts, and so will you. Best wishes.

do not give up and start all over again. i also think a review class will be helpful to get you in the school mood. just do your possible best and leave the rest to God. in His time, He makes allllll things beautiful.
