Hey all. So I'm in a pretty depressed mood right now, & will probably be stuck in this until I retake this damn test. So a little background on myself I am 22, & 2 years ago decided to change my major from business to nursing science. I didn't want to wait the couple years to get into a nursing program through Sac State, so I decided to go with a private college named Unitek. It was a fast track 11 mth LVN program. Well now it's been about 6 mths & I am still trying to receive my license. I must admit the first time I took the NCLEX PN I didn't study that hard. But the 2nd time, I studied for a mth straight 8 hrs a day at the library, reading through my Saunders NCLEX-PN Examination book & going through the practice questions on the cd. Still did not pass. One of my classmates just recently passed her 2nd time & she used the Kaplan NCLEX-PN review, strageries book. She said it helped her a lot because it wasn't this huge book to intimidate her & it broke down each question nicely. Im definitely going to buy that book for my 3rd try, but just wondering what tips others might have on passing this damn test. I just get frustrated because I feel like most of this information I can only learn through experience, theres only so much you can memorize. I just jumped into this medical field, & am being quickly discouraged.
