I don't know when I'm taking it again. I have taken it 3 times and I'm just so tired of this . But I will try it again. Is Kaplan 2012 a book or questions? Also I was thinking about doing the NCLEX-PN (which is weird because I have a BSN) to see if I do better at that. Have any RN students taken the LPN test before? I just want to be a nurse and I work as a tech with all these new grad nurses that make me feel bad. I have been reading the Saunders 5th edition but I'm worried it might not be enough for the new, more complicated NCLEX. I don't understand how some nurses don't study and pass and then there are people like me who work really hard and fail. And I can't use my degree for anything unless I have a license.

How about for questions? Which resource has the best, most NCLEX-like questions? I am having a hard time finding reosurces that do SATA questions, most books just have multiple choice that I have read. Thank you for the help! :)

Hi There, Well I am done with feeling down about not passing NCLEX (again!) and ready to start studying again. Does anyone know of which book to read that has the best amount for content? Also where can I practice the best questions that will help me prepare for NCLEX next time? Thank you :) everyone here always gives the best advice and support! Sarah

You are not alone. I failed mine for the second time a couple weeks ago, it is the most horrible feeling especially since all my classmates seem to have passed the NCLEX. Right now I am having a hard time studying, I'm just so exhausted even thinking about the test, and then with my job and Christmas on the way, I just don't know where to start. I have been reading textbooks here and there but nothing serious. I just don't know how to break up my study sessions or how long to study for. Any ideas or advice? I know that one day we will both pass, it's just hard to pay for the test and everything over and over. It's so expensive.

Well I just did the Pearsonvue trick and the nursys trick and it looks like I am going to he taking the NCLEX for a third time. Kinda sad and frustrated because I felt much more ready this time and its expensive to take the test. Anyone have any advice on how they studied and what they used? I recently just got the lacharity delegation/priority book, I have NCLEX 4000, and done ATI books. How many hours per day would you recommend studying? Thank you for all the help :)

Thank you both for your help! :)

Help! Looking for ways to study meds, drug interactions, adverse affects, etc. And ideas? Thanks in advance :)

So scared that I have failed NCLEX again. I was in there for almost 6 hours and did 230 questions. Have I failed? (

wish_me_luck that was amazing! I completely understand now. Thank you so much for your help! :)

Hello Everyone, So I've been studying hard and I've realized I need some work understanding isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions. Would anybody be able to explain in simple terms how hyper/hypotonic solutions work? I have isotonic down pretty well for the most part. Any tricks to how you remember the various solutions? Also if anyone knows what hyper/hypotonic solutions are used for? I know isotonic is used for fluid replacement, volume expansion, hypotension, burns, etc. But the other 2 for some reason I struggle with. Any feedback would be wonderful. Thank you! :) Sarah

Thank you both! These are very helpful answers :)

Hey everyone! So I finally got my ATT and have scheduled my test date! I am nervous because I did not pass the first time and I am worried I will not pass this time either. I have taken so many practice questions and seem to be doing quite well on them (mostly NCLEX 4000). I feel much more confident on answering questions as well and have a good feeling but I know that there is also a possibility that I might fail again. My questions are: 1.) When I took the NCLEX the first time, I had a ton of SATA questions, does that mean that I will have a lot of SATA questions the second time? Also, will the questions be all random again or will they be of the same topic as the first test? 2.) Does the NCLEX look at how long it takes you to answer a question? I'm kind of a slow reader and I feel like last time I took the test I rushed myself too much. Will taking my time on the test hurt my chances of passing? 3.) What are some things you do to calm yourself down before the test (like the day before) and get in a good frame of mind? Any feedback is much appreciated! Thank you in advance! :) Sarah

Hello everyone, I did not pass my NCLEX the first time, and after I finally decided to stop feeling sorry for myself and move on I paid PearsonVue the $200 fee as well as sent in the paperwork with a check to get my ATT from my State (NE) Board of Nursing. I have called my BON several times as I am very concerned why it is taking so long to get my ATT. Everytime I call I am told to be patient and that my paperwork should have been sent to pearson by now. However I called PearsonVue the other day and they told me that they have not received any information from my state's BON. Naturally I am very concerned about this, I am already nervous about having to take the most horrible test (at least in my eyes) in the world again, but I am unsure when I will be able to take it. And everyone at my job and all of my friends/family keep asking when I am going to be a nurse. Has anyone been through the same/similar experience in receiving their ATT? If so what did you do? Thank you in advance :) Sarah
