I did the same thing. Took al 265 my first time and failed. I had a lot going on with my mom in the hospital. And honestly, I didn't prepare as well as I should have. I took the HURST review after failing. I printed all the material. Watched the videos. Made a binder, and it was big, but I was well prepared to pass on my second time. Don't feel bad. Plenty of good nurses fail. I reviewed 3-4 hours a day for three weeks. You'll get through this. If you could pass your university courses, you can pass Nclex. I'm now a nurse of eight years. I've traveled from west coast to east coast. I'm also now a DNP-FNP student. If I could do it, you can do it. Just believe you can.
