So for all of you repeat NCLEX-RN takers.... let me tell you from experience, DON'T EVER GIVE UP!!! I took NCLEX for the 5th time (yes, it's true) on Aug. 31st. It had been a VERY LONG road to that point, and I was actually ready to throw in the to...
ardz_c - you can do this so don't get yourself too worked up!!! I am halfway through the program and I also work fulltime and have two children. I have found that I am more organized and overall have it together moreso than when I work less and don...

Don't Give UP!!! It took me five attempts to pass and I tried everything for studying. There is a thread on here called Kim's Self-Review. I followed her guidelines before I tested the 5th time and passed!!! I think I tried to use too many source...
Congratulations!!! :yelclap::w00t: Doesn't it feel great, and aren't you glad you didn't give up? I was in the same position as you, graduated just prior to you, and it seemd like time just kept going by and I was never going to be able to pass. ...

I would like to know what their criteria is also. Funny since I did clinical rotations at one of their facilities for 2 semesters and precepted too. Thought that since I was familiar with one of their hospitals it might help, but apparently doesn't...
Hey parks71, Can you PM me those hospitals you mentioned? I'm from Colorado, have my ADN and want to move back really badly!! I am actually going to be in Colorado for a week starting on Wednesday and would love to hit up those hospitals you menti...
Go For It!!! I didn't go back to nursing school until I was 47, and I had a number of people in my class who were around my age. Do what your heart says and don't listen to what others have to say.... follow your dream and your passion! Good Luck!
DO NOT GIVE UP!!!! I passed on my 5th try and had done reviews like crazy. Don't feel like you can't pass if you don't use a review, you can!! You have your Hurst book, so review your content from there. I think you also said you have LaCharity a...
Luvnsg3 and Ann113, Do not despair and don't beat yourselves up for not passing because you are not alone!!! I can relate and know the anguish you are going through, because it took me 5 attempts to pass..... do not let this test break you, you ca...

@copademantequilla..... It took me 5 attempts to pass, and found that Kim's Self-Review thread was extremely helpful and motivating in getting me there on my 5th retake. It is hard to not get down on yourself, lose motivation, and try to figure out...
kennate.... My recommendation is to get back in the saddle and test. I waited extended periods of time between retesting and looking back, think that it hurt me more than helped me. Don't get down on yourself for failing, it is common and noone re...

Lauren and meligart235..... DO NOT DESPAIR!!! I passed on my 5th attempt and was also a great student throughout all of nursing school. Do not beat up on yourself, give yourself some space. The NCLEX is not like any other test you have ever encoun...
I am with Nurse4lyfe..... NEVER GIVE UP!!! I can say this from experience because it took me 5 attempts to pass NCLEX. I also did very well in school, but found that NCLEX was the biggest hurdle to get over. It caused me so much anxiety that if I ...
Blynn and Rita.... I was a repeat NCLEX taker after graduating in March of 2010. I was depressed, unmotivated and felt like a COMPLETE failure because I couldn't pass NCLEX!! I was to the point that I was ready to give up because how could I possi...
