I live in Tampa, FL... and graduated from an ADN Nursing program in 12/2012. I took the NCLEX on 4/2/2013 and found out a couple days later that I unofficially failed the exam. Let me explain a bit about myself...I'm married and have a 4 year old daughter. My wife is a middle school teacher and works many hours during the week (at her school and at home). She tries to be supportive and help me by taking our daughter out someplace...when she has any free time. I work 2 part-time jobs...equalling about 35 hours a week. When not working, I take of the house, our daughter, and everything else while my wife is teaching. I didn't take any of the NCLEX prep classes...was studying from the Evolve website associated with my varied textbooks. Going over NCLEX questions associated with each section of a textbook. I really focused upon Med-Surg, Critical Care, Psych, Peds, and OB. Thought I was ok with the Fundamentals....guessed wrong! According to the Candidate Performance Report, performed Above the Passing Standard in 2/8 areas...Near Standard in 3/8...Below Standard in 3/8. Granted I was anxious, moody, nervous, unsure of myself during the weeks prior to the exam...the day before I tried to relax and just calm myself and rest before taking the exam in the morning. I wish I had some more questions to try and raise my score! Feeling a little depressed and unsure of myself! Especially having graduated with a 3.2! HELP?!!
