Hang in there!!! I understand, 110%! Keep up the hard work and that positive mindset! :)

Hello! From my experience and reading up on the NCLEX, if you failed with taking all 265 questions... you were ALMOST there!!! So, don't lose hope! I got my CPR, about 1-2 weeks after my exam? It wasn't extremely helpful... it just tells you where you fall in each category (above passing, below passing, near). I used the hurst review and later caved and took some time doing some Uworld questions. I actually took my test last week Thursday..... and I PASSED with about 80-85 questions. I believe both hurst and uworld helped me with that! I also did a lot of positive thinking and relaxation techniques....and that I think helped me the most. Let me know if you want anymore help or have any more questions!

Thank you so much! It's comforting to hear these things from someone other than a significant other or family members... haha. Might sound silly, but it is! I wish you luck as your continue your journey as well!

I took my first nclex in Feb and have the next one scheduled for next week. I've given myself mental breaks (which I've realized are almost more important than this whole studying thing!). I appreciate your feedback and I'm glad I'm not alone. My classmate felt that her hurst review tests were harder than her nclex...which I know is different for everyone. I dove into the uworld and noticed that I usually narrow my answers down to two, then pick the "second best", therefore it's wrong. I don't know how to go about correcting that for nclex day. Guess more practice, practice, practice!

Yes, I have. However... now that I'm studying again and doing more practice tests, I've noticed that my NCLEX performance isn't always the same as the practice test results...? Does that make sense? For example, psychosocial integrity was my only "below passing" and my first hurst review test it was my best category? I've just been covering all aspects of the nclex in order to increase my knowledge all around...in hopes of that working. Thanks for responding!

Hello nurse gang! New to this site and new to the BSN world! I am a December 2016 grad of a BSN program and have already taken the NCLEX...unfortunately, didn't go as planned. I am currently enrolled in the Hurst Review course and have been struggling (mostly mentally) about this next, upcoming NCLEX. I was wondering if there were experienced people who were in this position who would be willing to share their stories/advice/etc! I am slightly freaking out and would really appreciate any comments! Thanks
