I failed the NCLEX three times so far, and it has been an emotional roller coaster. The first time around I thought I was prepared, and SANDY came along and my test had to be rescheduled. I studied for another month and thought I was prepared, but my emotions took the best of me. I failed. I went into a minor upset where I rebelled against this exam, BAD IDEA. I did not want to study, and finally I wanted to take it serious. I studied and bought the Hurst book, I failed again. The third time I thought ok I have to pass now, I used Saunders, Hurts, Kaplan and LaCharity. I failed again. and here I am, I have to take a course to reapply for my license. Extremely bummed out about the situation but today I woke up and gathered all of my books. organized my studying schedule and it is not my bed lol and tomorrow I begin. 4th try will be a charm!
