Hi Hazel, I'm Rachel by the way! No worries I will pray for you everyday. I know you can achieve this! I know you're tired but just dedicate a reasonable, realistic time for study. Keep me posted, take care!

I sympathize with you... I failed twice it is a horrible feeling. I was so lost I prayed, prayed,and prayed. I needed to buckle down and study, make sure you study different from what you've done before. I prayed for you and it's just a matter of time before you PASS! Best wishes!

Hi Daisy, On the average I studied 3 hours everyday for 2 weeks and got a little more than halfway through the Saunders book. I know how you feel I do not like to study...it's the most I've ever studied in my life!! You can do it if I can besides you're already a nurse from the Philippines! best wishes!

Hi Lezah! Best wishes on your NCLEX! I got a little bit further than halfway through the Saunders book, after that I did practice quizzes on the CD, I averaged from 70-100% and I probably did about 15 of those and I did two of the 100 question exams and got a 69 and a 71. I was nervous because I didn't get through the whole book. Let me tell you that this Saunders book was the most I've ever read besides the Bible. I believe that was my downfall, I probably would've passed the first time if I had organized/outlined study material. The first two times I kept doing questions because that is what everyone suggested---but for me I needed the review. I was so exhausted after graduation I was ready to never look at a nursing book again, I needed respect for the NCLEX, I thought I could walk right in there and pass without studying, maybe that works for some, I've always been a horrible test taker. Trust your instinct you know the information-when you start to second guess yourself it will confuse you. I needed to learn patience, diligence, and confidence. Yeah, what a costly consequence, paying all the NCLEX fees the first time around should've been enough motivation for me to get my act together, some of us learn the hard way! I know you will succeed and I'll keep praying for you! Of course that is the sure way to pass, prayer, prayer, prayer!!! Let me know when you test!

Hi Daisy, I've heard that after 3 fails you have to take a review course and I've heard that you only get 3 chances before you have to take the NCLEX in another state and have it transfered? Those are just word of mouth, I don't know for sure, I believe if you called the board that they are correct? At least I hope so. For my 3rd exam I had to get re-fingerprinted and pay another $100.00 to NV BON as well as $200.00 for pearson vue:(. I did pass the 3rd time so I'm not sure what to do after that, sorry I hope this is some helpful news.

Sweetness! Congratulations to you! God bless you!

Yay! Nice work! Congratulations!

Hi Beanieweenie, Please don't give up, take some time off, and then get right back to studying! I failed the NCLEX twice. I passed the 3rd time using Saunders, suzanne4 has a study plan that takes 6 weeks after you've completed the book, look at her first tip post at the begining of this forum. I didn't have time to do her plan and I only read through the questions/rationales of a little more than half of the book. (but it's the most I've ever read besides the Bible). I have faith that you'll succeed the next time you take it! Have faith in yourself, visualize your success, study (a different way this time) and most importantly PRAY! All of the best to you!

When I took it at the first of the year it pretty much covered nursing content that we were taught in school---it had a little of everything. They never did give us review for this in school. Sorry not much help. I do advise you to take it on a day when you have nothing going on. We took it in the evening after school- we were there till almost 11pm, that was rough I guessed on the 5 calculations they had because I didn't have enough time to finish!

Hi, I agree with Lena, I just took the NCLEX for the 3rd time on Oct.4th and Passed-Praise GOD! You are definately not alone. I didn't want to wait another six weeks to do suzannes plan, but her first tip alone was plenty for me to use against the NCLEX monster! Keep up your studies and say your prayers, you will make it!

Journee- You're doing excellent and you have a great attitude about it. I can relate to nursing28, I thought I failed (3rd time) because the questions seemed too easy (even though I had all 265). Don't give up we all have faith in you at allnurses.com!

Best Wishes! I prayed for you, let us know!

Thank You couldn't have done it without you all! I love allnurses.com!:monkeydance:
