Thank you everyone for all your support and just listening. Sometimes it gets the best of me and I get discouraged. I'm glad I have all of you to vent to. And I do hope you all know I'm here as well. To everyone that's still trying to pass GOOD LUCK as well. And to those who have passed! Congrats!!! Thanks again for all your support! It was much needed.

Hi, I just wanted to vent. I still have not passed the NCLEX-RN and it is starting to take a toll on me. I'm currently studying for the exam again but I sometimes just feel scared I'm going to fail once again. I feel like no one in my family and friends really understand so I just wanted to vent on this forum since you all might since we all know how nursing school was. I feel like I'm stuck in limbo because my life is on hold. I just feel so alone. Thanks for listening :redpinkhe

JJnmrmson Congratulations on passing the NCLEX!!! And thank you for the advice. You are absolutely right. Anxiety has always hindered me in every aspect of my life. And considering this exam is the only thing preventing us from becoming what we went to school for, the pressure is definitely high! And you add in the pressure from everyone else! Sheesh that's a whole lot of pressure for one person to handle. It's nice to hear a point of view that opens my mind to a different outlook. I have failed twice and hope this time, with a better mindset I can walk out of there knowing I did the best I could!!! (And of course studying a little more will def help a lot) Will do suzanne's plan!!! Thanks again for your advice and good luck with your new journey!

Congratulations Alchemist!!! I have to be honest, your story sounds exactly like mine. I have failed the NCLEX twice and now, I am so ready to start working. I almost took my studying for granted but now I'm so determined to pass this exam whole heartedly!!! I hope and pray that I will finally pass this exam like so many of you!!! Congrats again and good luck to all of us who still have our faith in the hands of the NCLEX monster :) hehe

Unfortunately I don't have my results yet. I took mine 2 weeks ago and so I've accepted that I didn't pass. I wish you and everyone luck in waiting for your results. Since you took yours on the 17th it's way to early to see if your name is on it, so don't think you failed! Hang in there and keep yourself occupied! Good luck and let us know how you did!!!!

I agree with everyone here! Darthgirl, try and keep yourself busy and try and give yourself a much needed break. I know the wait is a killer so its understandable to feel like you're going crazy. I couldn't sleep, eat or do anything. So try and hang in there! As for the types of questions, honestly I have so many friends that passed on 75 and failed at 75. And had certain types of questions that were all different from eachother and the results were varied. So, what I'm getting at is that you can't really try and figure out what's passing and what isn't. Believe me, I tried to do the same. Good luck

Hi Learae, OMG I know exactly how you are feeling. I failed twice! I also did Kaplan and feel it didn't help me tackle the NCLEX questions. And like you, my anxiety during a test is so high. It prevents me from actually understanding what they are asking. I took my exam 2 weeks ago and still no results, so that to me is a failed noticed. I know I'm the last person to help, but I am hearing Suzanne's plan is the way to go. You can do a search on her first tip for retesters and go from there. But before you do, go and take a much needed break like me and find enjoyment before we go and run another long marathon of studying. Good luck to all of us!!!

Hi Pendingareehn I have failed twice and I know exactly what you are going through. And like you, I did Kaplan like no joke. It is difficult to deal with but I think knowing we aren't alone helps so much. I wish you luck with you studies and I want to try Suzanne's plan as well. After reading that a solid foundation is def key, I thinik Saunders will be a better help. I found the Kaplan book to be lacking in that department. So, with prayers and focus, hopefully we can all pass this dreadful exam. GOOD LUCK everyone!!!

Hi freezin18, just curious did your friend get her results after 16 days through the mail or did she see her name on the BON website after 16 days? Thanks I'm really new to this site and it's really an amazing site. It's comforting to know that we aren't alone with our feelings of worry. I wish everyone luck! I'm waiting on my results as well. I took them this past tuesday!!!

Congratulations!!!! When did you take your exam?
