Hello everyone! So... I was waiting to have back surgery, I have incredible test anxiety and taking this test while on painkillers is prolly not the best decision. Here's the deal, I took the test the second week in August. I took ALL 265 questions and still did not pass. What does this mean? I know that I am not stupid. I know if you ask me to show you how to do something I can. But, dang it, this test was ugly. I need a dose of brutal honesty here...anyone have any advice? I take the test again on October 9th. I just got out of the hospital yesterday for a lumbar fusion and am wondering how I should utilize my next 5 weeks so that I can pass the NCLEX. I think we can all agree my timing has sucked, but am a single mom with 3 kids and had to schedule this way. HELP?! Thanks for any advise or input...i really appreciate it!!!! Shannon
