DesperateforHELP

Has anyone tried the Feuer Comprehensive Review? Its basically and audio lecture and I am debating on whether I should of got the Hurst review in the beginning. I have about 1 month and 2 weeks till my exam so I am trying to strategize my studying.

Hi Debbie I got your message and I am new here and I was trying to private message you back and it says I don't have permission to send private messages. Can you help me with this? But I do work, I am single, no children Working 37.5 hours a week. I think my problem is I am not studying effectively. I was thinking of doing something different like getting flash cards to try to remember the material or doing an audio review through Drexel. I feel that I do not know the material. I have been out of school now for 3 years and the longer I take to pass I feel that my level of knowledge goes down. I think I have lost most of my nursing knowledge since it had been so long, I notice that when I do practice test I don't do that well I do not consistently get 75 % on them some of them I do and others I do not. I never did really well in school or on tests. I just barely made it through nursing school. I do go through and look at my mistakes after taking practice tests and look at the rationals and I just move on. I really think I need to know the material more I think that may be getting in the way as well. Another thing that sticks in the back of my head but I don't know if nursing is truly in my heart. This is what I want to do for right now, but I am not sure anymore if this my dream, because of my failing so much I think this may hinder me from learning. I do know that I want to be a RN, I read your story and I really envy you and congratulate you. Any help to get me through this I would appreciate it!! I feel that after taken the test so many time I know how the test works and I know the strategies of answering NCLEX questions, I not sure my I think my lack of knowledge is hindering my success.

Thank You. I think I will stick to the RN exam. I know that I will pass it eventually! I am going to keep trying I don't want to quit. I am just trying to find out why I am failing and how I can improve it. I think I may try some different types of studying as well as a review book. but something like flashcards, something audio to see if that helps me at all. But I really do appreciate your advice

good luck. !!!!

Thank You for the advice. I was thinking of taking the NCLEX-PN hoping that it would be easier for me to pass, but I have no idea what that is like so that may not be the best thing for me. and then work as a PN for a while and then go back and take the RN exam again.I was not downplaying the PN exam, the crying smiley face was for me not passing the RN the exam had nothing to do with the PN exam. Sorry if you were offened but that was not my intentions to offend anyone about the PN exam.

O I forgot to say that I took the NCLEX-RN exam

Hello All, I just found out today that I failed the NCLEX for the 4th time. I feel like a complete failure. I have tried everything that I can think of for help and I can't seem to find the problem. How can I find out what I need to work on, every time that I take the test I look at my results and see what I should improve on and I study that material the most. but I keep failing. I have wanted to give up each time that I fail, but I feel like I went to school for too long to not at least have my license.A part of me wants to give up but then I know I will really feel like a failure. I have taken the Kaplan course twice , I took the Drexel Review course , I have went through the Saunders Comprehensive NCLEX review book, I have done the NCLEX made incredibly easy, I have had tutors. I am so upset and depressed everyone that I went to school with has passed. I have been out of school sine May of 2006. I thought that I needed a refresher course but I dont't know anymore. When I do review books and study I do average I don't do great but I just keep studying, Each time I take the test and get my results there is not just one subject I need to study it is just the near passing standard in every catergory. I need some help, advice, suggestions, Anything. I am thinking of getting hypnotized. I thought it was test anxiety, so I took something to make me relax, that didn't work either. I was also thinking of taking the LPN exam.
