Thanks & honestly it wasn't as hard as the first 3 only because Remar prepared me very very well. Everything except 2 questions came from Remar. i had 6 SATA & the rest were multiple choice no math, no hot spot, no ordered response. That's why i knew I had failed. Afterwards I went to the car & cried! My brother text me with the good pop up (he checked before I did) & said I'm so proud of.

Took NCLEX RN Thursday 112 questions & got the good pop! I'm still in a state of shock. I graduated in 2010 & have taken NCLEX 3x. I tried Kaplan had awesome scores still failed. Hurst failed! ATI failed. This time I used Remar Review & OMG it finally just clicked for me.

Wow @ this negative forum. Why hasn't this forum been closed?

Congratulations

I understand where you're coming from. I graduated in Dec 2010 & have failed nclex twice. I wish you the best if luck. You can do it. Don't be so hard on yourself & keep praying.

CONGRATULATIONS! Please share study tips

Please remember, God helps those who help themselves and that includes being humble to realize you need more help and seeking out the opportunities to learn even if you don't want to (I.e., refresher course or tutor).AWESOME advice once I humbled myself & realize I didn't know everything I thought everything started coming together. I'm working with someone who doesn't even have a degree in Nursing but knows strategies & critical thinking skill for standardized test & he's helping me TRENENDOUSLY

I will definitely pray for you.Would you even consider a refresher or is it totally out the question? I know you said you know content but a refresher just may help or is there a class or teacher in your area that could teach you strategies? Also are you planning to retest soon.

Congratulations

Congratulations

CONGRATULATIONS

Good luck

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it

I'm doing both. I say if possible use Hurst for content & Kaplan for questions & strategies.

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm testing end of February or March. I'm doing Kaplan for questions & will be using Hurst for content. I have the Saunders book but it's so overwhelming. I suck with EKG's. Any advice on how to study these?

Wow thanks for the inspiration & CONGRATULATIONS.

I've NEVER known it happen to anyone personally but I've read a few stories in online nursing forums

Good luck

That rarely happens. I say go ahead & try it to ease some of your anxiety

Congratulations & please share your study regimen @havemercy21 I'm sure you did just fine. Have Faith in yourself. Praying for passing results for you.

I have always heard the Saunders book was good for content as well as Kaplan. Have you considered Hurst?

Good Luck

Yes but Tech has a 2 year RN program. I've heard that it's VERY hard to get into the professional component of the program considering that only take around 30 people, require recommendation letters & you also have to score pretty well on their pre admissions test. They require more than Grambling & Grambling offers a BSN

When you say they, are you referring to your teachers? When I said the passing standard was going to be higher I was referring to the OFFICIAL statement made by NCSBN. Maybe I missed the memo but I didn't see an OFFICIAL statement made by NCSBN in 2011 that passing standard was going to be higher. Although my teachers mentioned it but I know my teachers don't help write NCLEX. Also I don't think there is an "issue" I was just trying to tell the original poster what I've heard/read about the NCLEX changing in 2013. I absolutely agree with your last statement concerning practicing at a higher standard

True the format changes constantly but the passing standard changes every few years. The passing standard will be higher beginning April 1st
