Hi everyone, I took the NCLEX-RN for the second time last Wednesday. Just found out I failed. What a bummer! Had 265 questions both times. The first time I was very nervous, had several breakdowns during the exam and knew I failed. Last week was diff...

Hi everyone, I'm a Dutch nurse with an active License in NM. I'm about to renew it. When I got to the payment page my jaw dropped.... Fee amount due: €930, which is over $1200!!!!!!! Is this correct??????? Does any of you know if this is correct? I ...

Thanks for your reply wifilpn, to be clear, I do not live in the US. But still $1200 for renewal seems a (little) to much....and I'm gonna call the Board today to clarify. Thanks again

Hi Ann, I filled out your questionnaire. Hope it helped. There are not that many Dutch nurses on this forum... Good luck!

I took the exam 3 times and finally passed. All 3 times I got 265 q. Pretty intense! The trick that did it for me was getting familiar with the way the questions are asked. So all I did was practice the questions till I dropped. Of course I took not...

Got that too the last time and I passed, I'm sure you did to!!!

Will do! Let me know what happened ok?

Believe in yourself! You'll make it! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Hi, Any news yet? Did you pass????

Hi, do you have your official results yet?

Bulldog, keep it up! and remember to believe in yourself, my thoughts during the exam were: I´m gonna pass this time. And I did, thank God! It can be done, me, out of school for more than 12 years! So you can too. Good luck and let me know what happe...

Hi Bullgog, Well, I'm happy to tell you that I passed in January! This is an old post of mine. I used LaCharity and practiced all the questions I could find. Again I got 265 questions ( 3rd time!) and passed! I found the impossible to be possible. So...

Bad idea. Smoking is a bad habit. The smoker knows that. Point made. Says nothing about the person ands his or her professional performance. You must have very very good arguments to not get yourself in a sticky situation. I think another subject is...

Well done and congrats! I used Saunders and LaCharathy too. They did the trick for me. Just practiced questions, questions and questions! Get familiar with the questions that's all!

Hi everyone, I've been reading the NCLEX forum for quite some time now, mainly because I've failed twice, third attempt coming up in January. I'm trying to figure out why and what it is that's making this exam so hard!? Why does one student pass at t...

Everybody; thank you for all your kind words and support!:redbeathe You're all wonderful people! Frederique

Good. If you got the speed then you are very...very near. Another indication that you are a hair line away is the fact that you are going consistently to 265. According to a conversation with someone from the PearsonVue, going all the way to 265 is m...

it's hard, because you can't figure out the right answer based on critical thinking. Your thinking over the questions is not going to lead you to the right answer, because your nursing school and texbooks haven't taught you what information to focus ...

I have lurked on this site since september when I first took the test, I never registered because I mainly just researched and read the info here on the website. After reading your last post I registered just to tell you to get the LACHARITY book if...

Hi Marcos, Thanks for your response. I agree with you, however, I feel like I had enough 'speed' during both attempts. 4 Hours and 10 minutes the first time and 4½ hours the second (got 265 at both) My results where, on all subjects, near passing sta...

What makes it so hard? Honest answer...you. The test is only as hard as you(or anyone else) let it be. That and word of mouth make it sound so hard. People have made it into something so infamous and scary, but it's really not. If you understood the ...

Thanks, I just ordered the book by Linda LaCharity. Seems to be what I need. I keep getting those questions wrong! Those are tough.. In how many attempts did you pass?

Hi Silverdragon, I've used Saunders the first time and Kaplan + nursingreviewonline the second time. Didn't get me where I wanted to be... Kaplan seems to make sense but I'm having a hard time applying it during the exam. I can't recognize the "situ...

So true, thanks!
