I took the NCLEX-RN in April and I got all 265 questions and I failed. I was so upset and I tried to figure out why it happened. I studied a few times a week for a couple hours a day and when I look back now I definitly wasn't putting as much time into studying as I needed to. After that I took a break for a couple weeks just to clear my head and then I got right back into studying again. The first time I basically just studied the Saunders Nclex cd and the second time I studied so many different things so I could learn more that way. I studied the Nclex Rn for dummies which sounds funny but it was actually pretty helpful and I read the whole 300 something page book so I wouldn't miss a thing. I also studied prioritizing, delegation, and assignment book which was helpful too. There were other books here and there that I looked over and I also studied the Saunders cd again and this time I studied every day for a month for an average of four hours a day....sometimes more. I felt so much more confident this time around and when I went to sit for boards yesterday I got ALL 265 questions again.... I thought I failed because when I looked on the Ohio Board of Nursing website my license number wasn't on there yet. They say to give them until 5 pm. that day to post but usually everyone hears something by the afternoon so I was crying and I was so upset and my family and I were convinced I failed. Then my work called three hours later and Congratulated me and I looked on the website and it said I PASSED!!!!!!!!! I'm writing you all this because I was one of many people out there that look on this website for advice and I want everyone to know that you can fail with 265 but you can pass with 265 so don't give up.....Keep trying and pray about it everyday because God definitly was with me through all of it. Keep on thinking positive!! You may do better then you think. :)
