I am officially an RN!
I have failed nclex 3 times and passed on my fourth time.
I tried everything including Kaplan, Hurst, NCSBN, NCLEX 4000...You name it, I did it. None of those worked for me.
The one thing that helped me pass this time was I hired a tutor via Skype. She is from New Jersey. She has her own website www.caring4you.net Her name is Annaliese Garrison. I bought 10 hours of private tutoring. It cost $35/hr.
She basically gives you 120 questions through out the 10 hours. So she goes through about 12 questions every hour. I did 4days/week for the 2weeks RIGHT before my test.
She taught me how to answer questions. What to look for in a question and answer. AND how NCLEX wants you to answer. FOLLOW HER CONCEPTS!! YOU WILL PASS!
Alot of her questions were like the NCLEX! She can tutor you from anywhere in the world via Skype!
I also went over the 35 page review from allnurses the one that has "MY CHICKEN HEZ TB" and "SPIDERMAN" infection control.
And another thing that has helped me was the 97 page review on youtube. Here is the link for it :
It cost $50...Alot of topics on my NCLEX was on the 97 page review.
I had 265 questions.. alot were priority, infection control, SATA, EKGS, Meds, and Psych.
I took breaks and I was very calm through out the test. I took 3 breaks during my last 20 questions. I took my time reading the question BEFORE looking at the answers. Once I picked an answer I did not change my mind.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Good Luck to you all!!
Don't Give up. Hard work pays off!!
If I can do it, so can you!

I just failed for the 2nd time and I have no idea where to start studying. I feel like I was ready but I guess not. So what all does this tutor do? Does she have videos to watch or does she just do questions? Anything will help thank you!
She has a website with all the info..her website is called caring4you
