students who break the rules
I see how it is hard to ignore, i had the same problem. A lot of girls i went to school with broke rules and a few hospitals that the school had a contracts with for years to do clinical with dropped them. We had to push our graduation back and maked up a few weeks of clinicals b/c we lost sites and our school did nothing. You just have to keep positive and try your best to not let others actions bring you down as well.

Everyone told me i failed b/ci stopped at 205 and i took the test twice taking 205 both times and i found out Saturday i did pass :) just have confidence and try your best to find a past time if you are waiting for results in cali :)

i`m desperate in getting any help that i can get.........
I am sorry you failed but i remeber the same situation so clearly for me last year, i took 205 questions the first time as well and I too failed. I thought i could i have failed i went through all my books, review book and even went back for review with a teacher at my school. When i told her i didn't pass she recomment i go and get flash cards for the nclex i got the mosby nclex lpn review b/c i used mosby all through school. She told me to not go over what i know but to focus on my struggle areas. Take the test in the books i have and see where my weakness is. I also invest in Kaplan review book for lpn 2208 and that was amazing for me i took the test in that first to and then i went back and read the rationales. I practically missed over half the questions on that test not sure why. However when i went back and read the first few chapters about to really think about the nclex questions i realized i was approaching my questions all wrong and after i studied the chapter it changed my scores on in review books drastically. I worked on my problems areas this time instead of trying to review everything in months. I took the sheet of where i fell on the nclex in different areas and reviewed my problem areas. I went back and retest on Dec 19th (taking 205 questions again) and found out this past Saturday i passed. My biggest problem was i was taking on the wrong approach to the nclex questions and not focusing on my problem points

I'm thinking of giving up on the lpn license
I thought of you today simon b/c i failed my test the first time, i never came back and posted that here but i did and i was crushing for me, but i went back and i took techniques from here and sites from here and mixed them with my own books and study habits and went back and retook my test on the dec 19th of last year and i found out today that i passed. I told my dad though if i did not pass i was going to give up but i realized that this is something i crave..I want to be a nurse and i want to help ppl so if i didn't pass then obviously i need to do more studying and that would only make me a stronger nurse. I have a friend from school who is mexican and she's taken the boards 3 times and failed and it all b/c she having some problems translating some of the words to english me and a few other girls helped her in nursing school so that how she passed and now we are getting to gether to help her again so she can hopefully pass and she is going to go take it again she said she would keep taking it until she passed. I hope to hear soon how things are with you and hope to hear of some great new soon :)

So i called the boards again to check and see if they mailed out my results b/c i am coming to the end of my 5 weeks and the lady got flustered and asked from my social so i gave it to her and then she said " hmm for some reason your results are in the enforcement department i'll transfer you" Well no one picked up and i left a message and the nice lady just called me back saying that she sent them out yesterday so in the next few days they should be here but now i am scared this is the second time i've taken the test and i've never heard of the enforcement department, heck it doesn't even sound like a friendly place. so now besides being :angryfire i feel

Did Kaplan help with critical thinking?
I don't know if you are taking the PN or the RN but i got the NCLEXPN Kaplan book after failing my test the first time and after reading the stratagies i realized why i failed. It brought a new understanding to my test and made me think of questions in ways i never thought. I was going for the basics of the questions but after reading that it was easier for me to answer questions in different review books not just the kaplan.
