thank you all so much for replying to me, I appreciate it soo much!:nuke: and while I am very sad about the whole situation, I am more embarrassed to go into work, the first time that I failed I got a pay cut and was given the title of PCT but I was still able to follow a preceptor and learn what the nursing role was like, I just couldn't actually do anything..it was bad in the beginning but then I got used to it, I still felt like a nurse. Now though, I have officially been told to be a PCT, with a completely different schedule, I have to wear the PCT scrubs and feel so humiliated...I want to badly to pass this exam, has anyone ever had a tutor?? I know the prentice hall and saunders books were recommended but I am wondering what else is out there...

Hi All, I am a new graduate with my BSN and have failed the NCLEX twice. The first time I had 234 questions, I prepared using ATI, studied everyday for six weeks and failed. I have test taking issues as it is and the anxiety really got to me. The second time I had 75 questions, prepared with various books, ATI again, and did some of my friends Kaplan questions. I went into the exam positive and when the computer shut off I was so happy, felt good and was sure that I passed this time. I was so confident! Well, today I found out that I failed for a second time. I have a job and everyone is very supportive and encouraging but I feel like such a failure, I hate going into work as a PCT (I got demoted) and I feel stupid and am very discouraged. I do not know what else to do. I am at a loss for how to even prepare for this again. I am stressed and emotionally drained I dont even want to take the test again, I feel like giving up:cry:.
