I took my first NCLEX-PN the same thing with what you have. It stopped at 85 and it lets me go to cc page. HUN! I don't think you pass...I'm sorry...Just try again next time...

I failed 3 times already and this is my 4th time to try it this April 2010. I hope this is the last. I pray and hope that this is the last..Good luck everyone who;s taking the test for the 4th times....May God be with you on that day..

They said they test your minimum competency, but the test is HARD as it can be. I don't get it. Why they make this test so HARD to pass...where not RN ...where LPN.

Hi ..Thanks for the quick response. I am not moving out of the US. I am in vacation for now, since I am out of the country, I decided to just take the test here in Manila, then hopefully i'll pass, im going back in the States in May. Since you tried the TRICK..I am telling you since you get the famous pop-up thing..YOU PASSED! its a 100% proven already. I will gladly to PM you and hopefully you can help me on this...Thanks again

Taking my NCLEX-PN for the 4th time. I have been studying like hell now than before. And the worst thing I am taking it outside of the US. Mine is scheduled this coming April 2010. Same as you, its been two years of hell. I graduated top of the class May 2008 and i couldn't pass this exam. Now I am trying for the 4th time with having a one on one tutor this time. What did you do differently this time to pass this exam? I really want to pass and get this monkey out of my shoulder before i go back to the US for good..PLEASE HELP ME!! I NEED IT BADLY!!..BTW. CONGRATULATIONS for PASSING IT....

Im on the same boat, same weakness area. Physiological integrity is freaking HARD..I have a hard time answering. I can answers most of them but also made mistakes on most of them..can't get my score high..Please HELP

Don't give up. I too failed many times..BUT..i told myself this test is not the one that will kill me or my dreams of becoming a nurse...I will get it and pass it. 200 dollars is nothing when you start earning money and see your hard license in hand...Study again...the more you read the more you know what is wrong and what is the thing you need to make right..KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!!

YES they are hiring here in the US...Im sorry to disappoint you..but yes they are hiring. Just past your NCLEX-PN. You are a US Citizen so you dont have a problem. Don't listen to this people.You are not going to work for them. All they do is discourage people who wants to better themselves..Your dream is your ultimate goal. It will happen if you want it to happen..Good luck. Go for it!

The last time i took my NCLEX-PN in Maryland. I got my result within 3 weeks at the same with my eligibility for my next exam since i failed my third time. Hopefully i can get some help here in Manila then take the exam in February. Before i go back to the US..actually might pass by in Australia then back home to the US..

I have my eligibility before i left the US for vacation. I havent schedule the exam yet since i need to study and review again. I plan to be back after the exam and I pass it this time..Thanks..:-)

It will be sent to my address in the US. My address which is on file with the BVNPT will be my US address..

Hi All, I am taking my 4th try on the NCLEX-PN in Manila. How long would be the result in CA if you take the exam outside the US? Can anyone help me on this...Thanks...I don't have a choice. I have to take it there. Then go back to the US after i pass...

I dont care who writes the exam, those people here who did write it know themselves. Sure the exam can be a little hard , but is it necessary to put those stupid format in there like SATA's , drag and drop..*** is that? its useless..where in grade school anymore. This exam is the most stupid exam i have ever taken. Im sorry ..for me its the the test of true competency of an individual..Your the one who said it "minimal competency" for all i know minimal means easy q's ...not like a medical q's..this not a medical exam..its a nursing exam...GOT IT!

So tell me...WHAT study habit you suggest for me to do to pass this exam? And i hope that your right about this HABIT? cause this my 4th time to try it and i am not about to waste energy and 200 dollars for this next exam.

I am sorry for my attitude about it. It is so PAINFUL...Its is the only hope that I have and i know that it will make me a better person I am today with a shot for a better life. I dont blaming anybody..the only thing I know is the people who makes this exam harder. And i hope their are HAPPY. I have a hard time facing life everyday. But i have to get up every morning to face the truth that I FAILED again. I dont have a job, no place to stay..going back to Manila to celebrate the Holidays and get away from here for a while until i am heal and able to study again. But by far i don't know yet...I am down and depressed. I love America. and I guess i am still lucky that this is my home now...Its a country of opportunity...Thanks for all your support...Have a happy holidays !

I wouldn;t have to do all of this if ONLY the NCSBN makes the exam a little easier to pass since it is testing your minimum compentency. Something I dont understand here...minimum competency means MEMORIZING THE WHOLE NURSING BOOK so you can pass..cause they made so HARD with all their NON-SENSE FORMAT and TRICKS ...why just just make the whole exam multiple choice ..whatever!...I could have kept my old job..but no i have to give my everything and put all my energy on this damn exam and nothing...I know my capability and i am not stupid..If only NCSBN know what their impact to us who fail this exam..they would know better..I m angry and frustrated cause i lost a lot...and now i will celebrate holiday with this failure to share to all my love ones..Thanks NCSBN...

So God gave those nurses who pass with license because their are all well - equipped now. So your saying i am not studying the content the way they are so God didn't let me pass. So how come some nurses who have license already and still makes mistakes on their day to day work? You must be perfect if you have a license already right? I am studying the same book and same content so what's the difference on what i do and i can't pass this damn exam?

thank you luckygirl09. you are making me cry! its so painful ..i can't sleep at night. i just don't understand until now why i failed...it makes you question yourself. i did two years of school in the philippines and sacrificed a lot and then here...failure...oh well..i guess it meant to be.

The BON must love it so much to make this exam so hard to pass. They don't realized they shuttered someones dream when they put their life on it and study hard and then they can't pass it because all the nonsense format they put on it. I don't understand why they make the NCLEX-PN so hard when the people who's taking it are not REGISTERED NURSES. PRactical Nurses meaning we need practical questions...NOT HARD QUESTIONS...WHATEVER!

I did Kaplan too. I find it so difficult to understand. I do all there practice test. and all i get is 30% to 40%. So that's the reason i stop it. Well if it worked for you. I might be wrong then of not doing it. I have to wait for another 45 days to resit the exam and another month or two to study well for it. I dont know if i have energy to do it again. I am really getting disappointed and depressed about myself. I really don't where or what am i doing wrong why I can't pass this damn test when they say they only test your minimum competency...It seems like i am taking a Medical Board ... I have a plan to go home for the holiday in the Philippines and maybe find someone there who can sit with me and tell me what i'm doing wrong..I'm sad because this is the only thing i need to have and to do now to better my life and God didn't give it to me with all those prayers at night or whatever..Thank you for all your support. Maybe and hoping when i come back fro my little vacation . i'm ready or find a heart to do it again and study. But now its just paralyzed me and i feel so numb about it... I wanted so much to be a nurse someday but this exam is the only thing that stopping me to do it..and I HATE IT..I'm sorry.

I just feel bad ..so bad because i felt like this time i could have made it. I want to surprise my mom this holiday cause her dream is for me to become a nurse, well its also my dream but something is not making it happen for me. Things happen for a reasons..maybe GOD doesnt want me to pass yet..I dont know. I just hate the thought of waiting for another 45 days to resit the exam and i dont know where to start right now since i lost my job and no money at all..putting too much time and energy to pass it but I failed..so I am hurting right now...

I dont think it is. I've been here in the US for 16 years...I'm not offended cause sometimes i ask myself that too. But my friend told me it my be Medical Terminology.. who knows..whatever it is..I wont get tru 205 if it is my English ..Don't you think so?

I studied 8 hours a day..reading Saunders 4th Edition and doing practice test 100, in the morning and 100 in the afternoon. Then i read the rationale on why i get it wrong. Saunders doesn't give you much about Infection Control..it just give you the basic standard precautions etc...I studied in the Philippines for LPN. I am on the top 5 of my class..so its either because i studied in Manila or there is something wrong with me. I know my English very well, i am not stupid not to understand it. I guess iits just the way the test is formatted. Strategies on how to answer CAT. I have never done this kind of test before. I am CNA here in the US. When i took my CNA Board in Illinois is a paper based exam..I ace it. took just once and i pass. I don't know why I can't pass this NCLEX-PN. I am so frustrated because it says it actually test your minimum competency but the way i see it..It test you on your whole knowledge of nursing content. Do i need to memorized the whole book to pass this test. I read the whole Saunders already and this is my 3rd time and still failure...SO what is wrong or something wrong? I don't i really like giving up..This is going to be my 4th time to try it..and it just scared the hell out of me to do it again and know that it will fail me again..

So i think you are RIGHT. Its time to find a new career. I think Nursing its not for me...Taking this exam for hte third time and not passing its telling me something...GIVE UP! RIGHT? THanks..I dont think i want to waste another 200 dollars just i know that i am going to fail this DAMN test again...

It a horrible Nursing journey. I studied all three months, everyday i took practice test..i took twice and failed and both stopped at 85..NOW i stopped at 205 for the 3rd time and still FAILED. I dont know if CA has a highest passing rate than other states? I am not sure because if i didn't stop at 85 that means i think i am doing fine just the computer cant decide if its going to pass me ..but decided to fail me anyways..SO thank you for a nice holidays i will spend of being a FAILURE and stupid because i cant pass the DAMN test..
