Sorry for posting this now. I passed my NCLEX oct 30th, 2015....on friday...at my 4th time. I was too busy to tell you guys about my story. I failed three consecutive times then I gave up. I got a job with miimum wage for 2 years and quit due to broken leg. Stayed at bed for 6 months. Complex broken...Started studying again...for 6 month 12 hour/day. 1. Saunders 4th....read 3 times....wasted lots of time. 2. Hurst summary file....someone gave me during my nursing school....great summary.....study 5 times...tryied to memorize all. 3. Rippicont...kindle version....about $25...study 6 times...almost memorized all Qs and rationals. That was all !! On test day....horrible....new testing site....google map could not find well....rainy...totally wet....late for 30mins...I begged and they allowed me to in...it was my last chance due to 4 year limit. About to cry from the beginning....I was not for sure even with a single question....drugs that I had never heard about in my entire life....I almost gave up....100 Qs for 6 hours.....a center desk lady waited for me to finish....she hated me for sure....I could feel.....finished at 7:30pm....I was the last one to leave there. It was rainy out there....cold....I was crying for 30 mins at my car...could not drive. Back to home. It was friday night....stated finding a job....with low paying. On sunday....went to church....I am not a serious religious person....back to home...paid $7.95 (?) to check on web....maybe....maybe....PASS....I suspected my eyes....but I passed....shout like crazy...RN lisence arrived in two weeks at Texas home. Do not give up.....Please. Please. I am just ordinary guy. I was in mid 40s...passed with 100 questions...I think it does not matter how many Qs we take.....but how correctly we take with each Qs.....concentrate on each question. Good luck my friend....may the force be with you.

I am so sorry for your situation. Could you tell me which month did you graduate in 2011? May or December?

thank you missmoo25....i think i need to switch....no time to work with the review course. Could you give me some book recommendation that I can study now?

I found there are over 5,000 Qs on Saunders 6th review.....it used be in cd on 5th ed but they changed on online review. The online code came with 6th book. i finished almost 1,000 Qs but I think they are easier than actual nclex Qs. I do not know exactly.... Do you think I need to finish them all or give up now....and study with other books recommended by nclex passers ?

Hey...thank you for your nclex story. I appreciate. Could you send me your note, please? [email protected] Thank you and good luck as a RN.....
