So I tried nursing school right out of high school and I was not ready. I got too caught up in the fun of college and didn’t focus like I should have. I also failed by one point. I took a semester off and nannied. It gave me time to regroup and encouragement myself and get ready to kill it. Then I went to a new school and buckled down with new strategies and everything went better than I even imagined ( I ended up tutoring students) you have to just start over and let it go. It’s so disappointing and it sucks. I even had the dean say to me, “ you will never be a nurse” and you know what I’ve been a nurse for four years and am flipping killing it. So stick it to them and show them what you’ve got. U can do it, is u want it bad enough.

The NCLEX is a lot of med surg questions. I tutor for the nclex and for every student I have I suggest the medsurg success book. It breaks down all the topics of medsurg and then by disease as well. So if you need help with heart failure focus on those questions and rationales. It is for sure the number one resource I’ve seen people use and I used. Plus it sounds like you haven’t had this content in nursing school for a while so it would be a good refresher. Take one question at a time and know that when it seems impossible you can still pass. The questions get harder as you go until you hit the passing point. The fact that u got some two hundred questions means that u were not that far off or it would have kicked u out sooner and failed u. I would recommend looking over all ur study guides from school and really getting the medsurg success book and maybe a nclex book..... and that’s it!!!!! (When u have too many resources your brain gets overwhelmed)
