I forgot to tell you I also took Kaplan review before my first attempt at NCLEX it wasnt helpful to me!

:nurse:For you all that dont have confidence in yourself let me tell you my story. I started nursing school 4 years ago I worked full-time and went to school part time for 2 years and Full time for 2 years. I have 2 daughters at the time i started school they were 11 and 7. & we were on our own. I struggled through nursing school almost every semester it came down to my finals. I am a horrible test taker I have very bad test anxiety issues. I took my boards in July I had 76 ? and failed I was devistated I think I was the only one in my class that failed. I can tell you I work with a wonderful group of people they have been with my from day one through the tears LOTS OF THEM!! They always told me "I never could do what you are doing" to me it was a way of life. I took my boards for the second time yesterday I had 263 questions. I was good till about 150 then I started to panic-and kept thinking why wont this shut off! at about 200 I began to give up reading the questions but hurrying through them. It took me the whole 6 hours. I left the testing center and sobbed. I called my husband and he reassured me that you don't know for sure~I cried off and on all night. Today I went to work it was a busy day~I work at a ambulatory surgery center. I was pulled in the office by the Business manager which is an RN and the director of Nursing~not knowing why I thought what did I do! my nursing manager said to me look at the computer you are a nurse. I was so excited all my hard work paid off. To review I used Exam Cram RN and RN-3500 (it is free questions online) i did questions every day for about 2 months. So to all that you that struggle and are not confident in yourself. IF I did it YOU CAN~trust me I am the Queen of Drama and everything in my life never goes as planned but today It all fell into place. GOOD LUCK DONT GIVE UP!!!!!

Just wanted you all to know I only had 76 questions and I FAILED. My test consisted of Meds(of course that I never heard of ) about 40?s I can honestly say I dont think I got one answer right. I admit i am a poor test taker, but I took Kaplan review did the question trainer and q bank (scoring anywhere from 55-72%. I live in PA does anyone know what i need to do to retake them! I know there is a 45 day waiting pd. But i didnt know where to go from here. I am not trying to scare anyone, but I thought wow only 76 ? i must have passed. FAILING does happen there is no magic number. I heard the book exam cram is great, it has a practice test then a another test that is very similar to the NCLEX. My friend states its not overwhelming. GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!

Hi all I took my NCLEX yesterday I got 76 questions and I honestly and was not confident in ANY of my answers.I was thinking please dont turn off, and at 75 it didnt so I was like Great maybe I will get some questions I know then 76 it shut off. I had no dosage calc, no assessment no Peds, or OB i had a few SATA and 2 put in the correct sequence. II have had anxiety so bad that i am shaking. I think the worst thing is everyone saying you passed I know you did! I am crossing my fingers for a miracle:idea:
