OSCAR265

HEY EVERYONE!! I took the NCLEX-RN today for the second time...The first time I had 265 and blacked out...This AM I went into the testing center with a whole new attitude stayed calm and focused....I was in there for about 2 hours I had around 95 questions and felt great after I was done.....is that weird?! I'm really afraid because I feel this way....I'm worried I have been way too confident! Actually I just think I'm starting to go crazy!!! HELLLPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!

thank you!!!! that means so much....i have been studyin about 50 questions a night...i think i will kick it up a few knotches for the next few days!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

yay! that is awesome!!! its make me smile to know you passed! I too failed my first attempt in july and am taking my second attempt monday the 18th....everyone in my class in passing and i'm getting really frustrated and jealous...i was a great student just like you! wish me luck! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I recently failed the NCLEX in July and am scheduled to retake it AUG 18....all i have been seeing is people who passed on their 3rd or 4th time and I'm starting to get discouraged.....i would love some words of encouragment from people in the same boat as me or people who have passed on the second time in the past! I am trying to get my nerves under control and prepare myself mentally because that was the problem last time....THANKS!

Thats really interesting that failing the first time reduces your chance...that really freaks me out....i am in the EXACT same boat as you....i desperately need and want to pass the second time around. I think it would be best to just forget that and not place ourselves in some statistic because it will do nothing but harm us. I am convinced the reason I didn't passed the first time is because I was super nervous...I went into the test with a huge misconception that if it didn't shut off at 75 then I probably was going to fail....at question 76 I zoned out and cannot remember anything from then on...all i know is i sat there for 4 straight hours and did not take a break which was also a huge mistake.... I had the entire 265. Whenever I take the practice questions in NCLEX review books I, like you, do awesome....this is probably very naive of me to say but i really don't feel as if i could have "studied" any more for that test....I just plain and simple flipped out. So i guess what im trying to say is you and I need to calm ourselves down, believe that we can do it, stop reading statistics...and stop paying attention to negative things said that may discourage us. We will pass the second time if we just develop a couple new coping mechanisms and ease our anxiety by continuing to do awesome on practice questions. I can retake mine in 45 days....how about you?

It seems as though when Suzanne responds to a questions no one else replies to the post....but i would love to hear some other input about the subject and how others felt when they may have recieved the same results.

I just found out I got near passing on all categories....thats bad isn't it?

Thank you suzanne, unfortunately I have a internship that is waiting on me and I have already set them back 45 days. There is a signed contract involved and they are working with me the best they can. I will definately take in to consideration your plan and maybe decide to do whats best for me to pass this exam (which probably will be the smart thing to do!) However, I really believe that the main issue is overcoming my test anxiety....which I do realize will come with confidence which will come from studying hard. Thanks for your concern and support and I will continue to accept any advice you may have to offer.

Its so hard to watch your best friends pass NCLEX when you failed....its humiliatiing. Its not like I would EVER in a million years want anyone to fail, but it just makes me feel even more like an idiot when they pass. I am so happy for everyone who passes NCLEX please don't get me wrong...im jealous! I am just still trying to regroup and figure out how to pick up and start all over again. 45 days seems like an eternity until I can retest. Why did this have to happen to me...I feel as if I have let everyone in my family and my employer down. I am so scared to fail again. Maybe what I REALLY need is some PRN Xanax...haha just kidding! Anyways, just looking for any advice I can get at this point. Everyone here is always so helpful.

That is what i'm hoping for nsgchica....exactly that! I had 265q the first time around it took me 4 hours, I have to wait 45 days and I'm hoping and praying that I will only have 75 so that I don't freak out like I did the first time! Wish me luck!

I wish I were in your shoes melj721

THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN SO SUPPORTIVE!! I have officially came to the conclusion that everything DOES happen for a reason! I will be ok! I think my unit manager is going to hold my position until I pass....I am going to prepare myself the best I can for the next 45 days and try'er again! Good things in life are never easy and this bump in the road will only make me a stronger person!

I just found out from pearson that i failed....despite my freak out feelings of the thought that i might have failed, i still had a spark of hope...the first 75 felt good and i knew a lot of the answers it just kept going and going until i reached 265....i was one of the top students in my RN program...i just don't understand how this could have happened...

You have no idea how much better that makes me feel....im just a disaster right now....i have a job waiting on me....i have family cheering for me....i feel like i just HAVE to pass! anyways! i should know something very soon...thanks again for your words of advice they are GREATLY appreciated!
