Go to a bookstore and look through the various NCLEX RN books. Find one that best fit your method of learning. I spent sooooo much money on multiple books----Saunders, Exam Cram, Hurst, NCLEX Made Easy, etc, etc and a whole lot more. It wasn't until I found MaryAnn Hogan and this was the book that got me focused and disciplined on studying for the NCLEX RN. Don't give up. I graduated 19 years ago (never worked in the nursing or medical field) and took the NCLEX RN in 2011 and failed. Then took it again Dec 2012 (studied for a solid 4 1/2 months) and passed with 88 questions. YOU CAN DO IT! Good luck!

Hogan was my primary NCLEX review book and I can say that this book helped me tremendously. I had other books that I used such as Saunders, Exam Cram, Hurst, but only used these if I needed clarification or further explanation. For me, Hogan was "to the point" and the format was perfect for my learning. Here's my story: https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/18-yrs-post-803371.html. Good luck and all the best to you and your studies!

I don't think they'll allow extensions past the validity date. Keep checking PearsonVue because sometimes slots become available.

https://allnurses.com/nclex-discussion-forum/study-guide-811514.html#post7141444 This is a 35-page (Word document) study guide NOT endorsed by AN. I read this weeks before my exam (on and off) and again on the evening and day of exam . Good luck! Stay positive!

It's good to know you've managed to lift yourself up based on your post. I agree...learn from it...and move on. No use dwelling on the negative. I failed my first NCLEX RN exams and used that experience to my advantage by creating a disciplined study schedule and passed on my 2nd try. I deactivated FB and to this day, have not missed it one bit. Stay positive. You can do this!!! :)

You have to approach each question independently....meaning...read the stem of the question...what does it deal with? is the problem ABC's, Maslows, does it have anything to do with patient being stable or unstable (what condition is making the patient unstable)? NCLEX will have multiple system dysfunctions listed...figure out what is the problem that needs fixing now. For example (this is just an example): patient's breathing is 13 breaths/min, K+ 3.0, isolated PVC's...which should be addressed first? What is the highest priority for this client in this scenario? What is the problem that needs fixing now?

I set a standard for myself....anything 75% or less....I went back to studying content and re-taking NCLEX 4000 and NCLEX 10000 under the same category until I consistently got over 75%.

I brought a drink (to-go cup) and snacks (crackers, sandwich, chocolate in ziploc bag), which must be stored in the locker. During my break, I ate right there in the waiting room in clear view of the Pearson moderators. I did not access my purse at any given time as I didn't want to give them any reason to invalidate my exam.
