Thanks for the great test taking tips. I will definitely start doing this when taking practice questions now! Angie:wink2:

Hey I know this is hard to think about right now because your nerves are shot but try to relax and do something fun for yourself tonight. It is very important to be as relaxed as possible going into the test. (I know this sounds impossible) trust me I've taken the test 3 times now. I wish you the best of luck ! Trust me though I have been through dozens of reviews and talked to tons of people and you aren't alone nobody ever feels like they know enough. Angie:up:

First of all I wanted to say congrats! :yeah:Thank you so much for posting that you passed and what you fo. I have taken it 3 times now and used the Kaplan Review each time. I have started the first tip in Suzannes Plan and I am so glad to hear that Saunders helped you. I have hope now. Angie:heartbeat

Someone gave me this for inspiration after I failed the second time and now i have failed three times! Read this and stay strong! I know exactly what you are going through! Angie THERE IS NO GROWTH WITHOUT EFFORT. You grow by responding positively to change. Growth means change and change involves risks when stepping from the known to the unknown. Your strength and growth will come only through continuous effort and struggle. All your growth depends on activity. There is no development without effort. Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer. Your trials, your sorrows and your grief's will develop you. Whatever good or bad fortune comes your way, you can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value. Wealth is nothing, position is nothing, fame is nothing. Who you become inside is everything. What happens is not as important as how you react to what happens.

Hello, I can honeslty relate to how you are feeling. I know it took alot to share your story and you are going through alot right now because I am going through the same thing. I have never been through anything so tough and stressful in my life as nursing school and when I got out I have yet to have my dreams come true because I have failed the NCLEX three times now. I lost a wonderful internship in the ICU at a great hospital the first time I failed NCLEX and I went into a deep depression. I didnt even get dressed for 4 days! I thoguth my world had come to an end. ANd each time I take it and go to the computer to get my quick results and se fail it hurts so bad and I want to give up as well. I some how manage to piece myself back together again and I know you can too. I know how much effort it takes each time and what it does to yourself but please dont give up! I am taking the 1st tip of the Suzannes Plan and that has given me new found courage. Try to look into it but give yourself enough time to piece yourself back together again before you ever pick up a book. Angie:twocents:

Thanks so much for posting what you did to pass. I have always found it so helpful to have others point of views on how to study. I will definitely keep your structure in mind! :redbeathe Angie

Congrats on passing! I know it's got to be a wonderful feeling for you right now. Thanks so much for posting your happiness with suzannes plan. I am doing the first tip of the plan now and your words are very encouraging to me as I have failed it 3 times now. Angie

Hello, I am so sorry to hear that. I know exactly how you are feeling right now as I have failed it 3 times now and felt the exact same way everytime. I know its hard but you have to find a way to pick yourself up again! Give yourself a break for a week or two and then make a plan and stick to it. Have you thought about doing suzannes plan. I am doing step 1 right now. I am finding the saunders book very helpful Also, I dont know if you feel this way but after the first time I failed I believe I set myself up for failure the next 2 times because i lost confidence in myself. Please dont give up, you aren't alone and we can do this. Angie

Hey I just wanted you to know that you are not alone! I have taken and failed the NCLEX now for the 3rd time. The first time I had 76 questions, the second time I had 205 questions ,and the 3rd time I had 265 questions. We all have to keep our head up and keep going! Here is something that I always read after I get the results: THERE IS NO GROWTH WITHOUT EFFORT. You grow by responding positively to change. Growth means change and change involves risks when stepping from the known to the unknown. Your strength and growth will come only through continuous effort and struggle. All your growth depends on activity. There is no development without effort. Trouble is the common denominator of living. It is the great equalizer.
