I took it again already on the 10th of August and past but thanks man!

Sounds like your taking all the necessary steps to succeed. Keep up the hard work, it will pay off soon! I'll say a prayer for ya. Good Luck!

Congratulations!!!!!! I am celebrating with you! Thank God we did it! :)

You're very welcome nrcolee6, I will keep you in my prayers. :up: Best of luck!!! You can do it!

Thankyou soo much! I was a nervous wreck, I know God was sitting right there taking the test with me because after praying the ride to the test center and before starting I felt so calm. I'm glad to hear that you have placed your trust in him as well. He will comfort you. I felt an overwhelming peace taking the test. If you get hung up on a long wordy question as I do sometimes wishing they'd leave out all the extra stuff, cut the chase and get to the meat and potatoes of the question. Just take a second, close your eyes and pray, take a deep breath and re-read it. If that still doesn't help look to the answer choices for clues. Don't STRESS!! You've got this! :up: Good Luck!

Great Advice! Congratulations! I just passed too!!!! Feels great doesn't it? :) Go us!

Best of Luck!!! I'll say a prayer for ya!

CONGRATULATIONS DANA!!!!!! I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY I PASSED AS WELL!!!! :up: Dave, RN!!!! FEELS GREAT! GLORY BE TO GOD!

You're very welcome! I'm sure it will be! Best wishes! God Bless!:up:

GFzalez just remember God is in control! Study hard and do your best and leave the rest up to him! Here's wishing you the best of luck!!!! I'll say a prayer for ya! I know you can do it! :up:

The NCLEX is NOTORIOUS for asking questions knowbody predicts being asked. Another thing they are well known for is their strict rules on releasing test information. I hate to tell you this but every person that has taken the test has signed their life away agreeing numerous times not to release any hints, topics, subjects or questions that appear on the test. It is a criminal offense cheating on a State Licensure Examination. For help/encouragement on test taking strategies feel free to check out my post titled: I Passed My NCLEX 2nd Try THANK GOD!!!!! Here's how! Other than that all I can say is your gonna have to pass the good ol fashioned way! I'll pray for ya! All test guides and test taking programs out there such as Saunders and Kaplan focus on Priority questions. ABCs, Maslow, etc. You should become very comfortable with this style. I highly recommend Linda Lacharity's Prioritization book. Also, I have posted a forum about Contact/Isolation Precautions if you'd like to print it out. You should always know what PPE you as a nurse should wear dealing with a patient in order to protect yourself and them. Also know what they shoul have on to be transported, whether they are in a negative pressure room or if the door needs to be closed and who can share a room with them. I cannot tell you specific drugs I encountered, not that it'd help much anyway as you probably wouldn't see them but I can tell you that it helped me alot to learn common suffixes and emergency drugs. You should also know how to do drip calculations for medications and know all your normal lab values. These are all material that is focused on extensively in any review program. I wish you the very best of luck and hope to read your success story on here soon! :up:

I too failed mine in June, June 21st to be exact. I immediately reapplied and hadn't heard from them at all. I ended up calling them after not hearing back from numerous emails. I spoke with the person in charge and they sent me my ATT in my email the next day. They have been very busy apparently and have ppls stuff backed up. Turns out if I had called I could have taken the test even earlier. I just took it yesterday for my second try and passed!!!! Good luck with getting your ATT and taking the NCLEX!!! I know its an aggravating process! If you need some advice or encouragement check out my post titled: I Passed My NCLEX 2nd Try THANK GOD!!!!! Here's how!

Hey there in.the.middle! I was just in your shoes a little over two months ago. I found out the news that I failed the NCLEX on June 21st. I just took it again August 10th and found out an hour ago I passed. To find out what I did to prepare. Check out my post titled: I Passed My NCLEX 2nd Try THANK GOD!!!!! Here's how! I wish you the very best of luck! I know you can get it your next try! Don't give up, keep up the positive attitude, I'll say a prayer for ya! :up:

GREAT QUESTIONS RNindmaking! My 1st time taking the NCLEX: Did you feel ready before the test? All my classmates were passing I felt I would too but I was super strung out on stress After taking the test, did you feel you passed? NO, I wanted to believe I did but I knew I failed. I was puzzled because I had only 78 questions and alot of choose all that apply but no math My 2nd time taking the NCLEX: After extensive studying and praying... Did you feel ready before the test? I went into the test knowing that I had done everything I could to prepare myself for this second attempt, I did not feel dissappointed at all because I knew regardless the outcome I gave it my best. After taking the test, did you feel you passed? NO, I think this test is designed to make you think you failed but I knew I gave it my best shot and I prayed alot and left it up to God. I PASSED!!!!! :up:

I did Linda Lacharity's book as Priority questions were definately my weakness. I benefited from it alot! First time I took the NCLEX I had 78 questions and failed! This time after using Linda Lacharity amongst other resources I passed! Just found out an hour ago!!!! The most important thing I can tell you is to not overwhelm yourself with study materials. Pick a study routine and stick to it. Don't try to cram everything you can. If you are going to do Linda Lacharity do a few chapters a day. I ran into trouble when I was being unrealistic and trying to do Kaplan, Saunders, Mosbys and Linda Lacharity everyday! BURNOUT!!!! I have every confidence in you that you will pass!! Good Luck ktbeth104!!!!! I'll be praying for you :up: I know you can do it
