Out of school for 8 years and still haven't passed the NCLEX

Published

Hello Everyone

I wanted to say how much I love this site. I have been out of school for 8 years and taken the test five times and still haven't passed. I just took it in November(haven't taken since 2002) and got near passing in all areas and one above passing. I felt like I was a failure and wanted to give up. However, after reading all the encouraging words, I can now see there is hope at the end of the tunnel. I also did well in school, but I just get so nervous when taking this test. I have completed the first tip for suzanne's plan. I will be doing it since I hear so many great things about it. I just wanted to know is there anyone that have been out of school for more than five years and took the NCLEX and passed? Can you please give me some pointers as to how you did it. I know it is going to be very difficult, but with FAITH IN GOD, I now know it can be done. Nursing is my passion and I know that I will be an RN in the very near future!!!!! Please keep me in your prayers. :heartbeat

Sure. Which test are you studying for? I am doing the NCLEX-RN. Are you thinking about doing suzanne's plan? If so, you will need the saunders book.
