3rd time was suppose to be the Charm (FAILED NCLEX 3RD TIME)
I have taken the NCLEX 3 times already and failed....I don't know what i'm doing wrong, I'm getting really fustrated and very dissappointed in myself. I took the test two time before and answered all 265 questions, and on monday my third attempt it stopped me at 109. I walked out thinking that I may have passed. When I got home I did the PVT trick and it took me to the credit card page. The results came out today, but I refuse to pay 8 dollars for them to tell me i failed again. i did the PVT trick again today and it still went to the CC page......Please help I am just fustrated with all the studying i've been doing and no results. I just want to be a nurse and start helping people this is really not allowing me to do so. I swear i have every book and CD-room known to man that deals with nclex. WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?!

Compatible roommates/ Priority Questions
Does anyone have any tips on answering questions that have to do with roommate assignments ex: what would be a compatible roommate for a hepatitis A pt? Answering Priority questions is also a little difficult for me also. If anyone has any tips I would greatly appreciate it.

Failed my NCLEX 3 times now
I know some people have really bad test anxiety also, maybe something to calm you down may help, talk to your PCP.

Failed my NCLEX 3 times now
My heart really goes out to you! Maybe you should not use Kaplan anymore and look into other resources. I failed and preparing to take it this coming Monday! Wish me Luck here are some of the books I've used and reviews. Hope This helps out. I don't know what faith you are, but remember to seek God in everything you do, There is a reason for everything just continue to do your best. There are people on here who have taken it 10 TIMES and passed and you will too...GOOD LUKE 1. Frye's 3000 Nursing Bullets NCLEX-RN by Charles M. Frye (SInce you have a 3 year old, this would help to just read facts on a on the go basis which is really effective) 2. Prioritizaiton, Delegation, and Assignment by Linda A. Charity (Everyone on here praises this book since NCLEX seems to be all about Priority and Delegation) 3. HUrstREview.com (They came to my school and did a review, but they also have an online review which covers content, and so being you been out of school for a minute it won't hurt to brush up on them.) 4. Maybe you should put out a post on here for where you live or craigslist and try and find a study partner...or go back to your school for assistance...2 heads are better than one, and you can motivate each other. Remember to keep positive and a smile on your face, it makes things so much easier. :)

Questions enough for NCLEX
I'm preparing to take the NClex in 6 days. I think i did way more than 2,000 questions but i still feel like i may be missing something....everyone i have asked who already took it and took it in the past said just do questions and don't try and study, that you should get all you need from reading the rationales. Can someone help because i feel like i'm getting anxious again. I used Kaplan which i finished all the questions. I used Hurst and Lacharity also...any other suggestions

What to eat before NCLEX?
Hello My fellow RNs and Future RNs, I'm taking the NCLEX for the second time in 9 days!!! I just wanted to know if anyone can give some tips on what to eat before so that in case I do have to sit for 265 questions my stomach and mind will be prepared. Last time I took the test I got so tired and sleepy and was not able to focus This time i wan to go in being prepared since I know what to expect. Any suggestions and tips for taking the test would be greatly appreciated.

Depressed while preparing for NCLEX 2nd Time
hi everyone. i took the nclex the first time in july and failed with 6 hours and 265 questions. i can truly say that i didn't prepare as much as i should when i went to go take the test i was so egar to take it because everyone in my class was passing and because i did better than most and they took it and passed i felt i would do great! but to my disbelief i didn't and when i left the testing center i knew i didn't ( i kept telling myself only if i took my breaks) i got over the depression and started focusing on preparing the right way, i was able to take kaplan course again online, and the remediation help from hurst. i still feel like i'm missing something. some days i'll do 150 questions a day and other days i do 10 and my mother (whom is a nurse) is looking at me like i'm not doing enough. i'm so depressed because i feel like this is such a set back and its making me really sad and to think if i go back in there and fail again. god forbid!!!!!! please anyone if you have any suggestions please contact me and let me know because i just feel so lost and i really want to succeed the second time around. thanks, desperately needing help
