I understand how you are feeling, I had was once in your shoe. I too failed the first time. When I started studying for the second time, I didn't focus too much on content because I felt that I knew my content but instead, I focus on how to answer each question and understand the rational to each questions. The Kaplan Strategies book was the BEST.

Congratulation. It just the best feeling to be done with anything NCLEX. I felt the same way. Enjoy

Sorry to hear that you didn't pass. The same thing happened to me when I first took my board. I felt everything you are feeling right now. The most important thing is not to give up and search for ways to develop self confident, it took me 4wk after I failed to develop confident and it happened in my church; when a complete stranger I was sitting next to prayed for me and I felt this hugh weight lifted off my shoulder. For me, self confident and lots of pray helped with pass the second time.

I completely understand how you are feeling. I graduated in may, took the review course that my school offered and took the exam in june b/c everyone kept saying the sooner you take it the better and I had nothing to worry about because I will pass. I took off work and studied for 2wk straight using Mobsy. So I took my exam and 48hr later, I found out that I failed; I didn't know how to act or feel. I felt like a loser, dumb, incompetent, had so much emotion running through me, cried everyday for about three day. Through all these, I realized how important my family were to me, they were there, crying with me and some friends were very supportive. After a week, I decided look for new strategies to help me the next time. I had purchase the kaplan strategies book but never opened it the first time I took the exam, but these time I started reading the book and developed hugh confident that I will pass the second time, I only used the kaplan strategies book and Hogan book for questions. I just found out I PASSED my second time, now I could move on with my life. I just want to tell everyone that have fail to keep hope and pray. Having supportive people around is every important as well.

congrats
