I told myself that I would post my NCLEX experience when I passed! I relied on this website a lot after nursing school for support and I hope to ease someone else's fears. I took the NCLEX-RN the first time in June 2017. I studied very little and ended up failing with 265 questions. Thankfully my school offered us with Kaplan material so I started studying that every evening after my toddler went to bed and on the weekends. I took around 50 qbank questions per night and would read each rationale, correct and incorrect answers. On the weekends I would try and take a question trainer test. I also thought the study sheet that is floating around this website was very helpful to look over when I wasn't doing study questions. I just took the NCLEX for the 2nd time on Monday and found out that I passed with 87 questions this morning!! I felt like a weight was lifted off my shoulders!! Don't beat yourself up if you failed the first time, pick your feet back up and keep moving! YOU CAN DO THIS!
