Hi @desperate789. I completely understand your frustration. I have graduated last april of 2011 and I have taken the NCLEX-PN twice and failed twice. I became discouraged. My family and close friends kept pressuring me to take it again. I was extremely hard on myself as well because I saw all my classmates working as a nurse! So I decide to schedule my NCLEX-PN for the third time, and I passed!!. I did a lot of reviews, so I'm not too sure which one worked the most. I did the ATI review, Saunders, Kaplan Review (which has live review via internet) , I read the Exam Cram, and Q&A Review for the NCLEX-PN Examination also by Saunders. As far as the amount of times you can take the test, Ive heard a lot of people say 3 times. But a family friend said her cousin took it 6 times, and a friend of mine just told me you could take it up to 8 times. I don't know for sure, you can never truly truly rely on what people say. I wish you the best of luck though!
