How I passed the NCLEX-RN 2015
Hi! I found out today I failed the NCLEX. I used Kaplan and the NCLEX mastery as my resources. I did every single question and trainers, yet I still failed. If I didn't know anything, I would look it up on mayo clinic. I averaged around 50s-56%. As for the mastery app, I did every single question, but I guess I didn't try to fully understand the rationales. I do not know how how to study this time, since I feel like a failure. Do you think I should call Kaplan to continue the 3 month plan or get my money back? I am planning to read and try to understand Saunders for content since I need help with that. I am planning to restart the NCLEX mastery and try to understand the rationales even though a lot of the questions I feel are very hard. Did you use the mnemonics? Reading how you changed your habits preparing for the second for the NCLEX, gives me some hope. I am thinking of following the steps you did to pass the second time. How many months did you give yourself to prepare for the NCLEX the second time? Any other suggestions or advice will be helpful. Thank you! :)

FAILED NCLEX (2015). Need advice, please.
Hi! I recently found out I failed NCLEX. i cried all day and I do not know what to do now. I tend to overthink, stress myself more than I should, and am always down to 2 answers. I studied for a little over a month, took the NCLEX in February with 230 questions, and knew I failed since I felt like I did not know anything. I know I need to work on my weaknesses which are meds and cardiac. I feel like I know some content, such as the major description for different disease processes, but I don't know the whole patho, so I need to understand more rather than memorize information. Resources I used: 1. Kaplan classroom with qbank & trainers -- I did every single questions and trainers with an average around 50-56%. The format of the questions were similar to the NCLEX. 2. 35-page study guide -- didn't help me since I didn't really see any on the NCLEX I don't know if I should get my money back from Kaplan or continue with the 3 month program. I am thinking of doing Saunders (think I need more content review) and LaCharity book. I read that Kaplan is great for questions since it is similar to the NCLEX and Saunders is great for content, should I utilize both? Read Saunders first to understand the content then do the Kaplan questions? I don't know how to "re-study." I don't know where to begin and how to do this all over again. I really want to pass the second time and not retake it since all of this is expensive. I feel like a failure. Please help me or give me advice on what I should do or how to tackle this darn NCLEX in a different way. I am sincerely grateful for the help! Sorry, that this post is long :).

Butler Community College Nursing Program
I am currently a student at WSU and I am waiting to see if I get accepted into their nursing program or not. My backup plan is Butler. I heard Butler is competitive. My teas score is 74% with a reading score of 78.6%. A&P, Eng 101, & Psychology - B Do I have a shot? especially that I took pharmacology, pathophysiology, microbiology, etc already? How hard is it to get into their program? If i do get accepted, will my pre-req courses from WSU transfer to Butler professional courses? Thank you!
