It tears me up inside that I want to be in the frontlines with everyone fighting this horrible virus. I am a nursing graduate who failed the NCLEX several times and through the years have lost the guts to pursue the nursing field due to multiple failures with the exam. But now more than ever I have been reinvigorated to try again as the healthcare system in some states are slowly crumbling and they may need all the help they can get. For some I may not be a preferable choice to help due to inadequacies of my knowledge of nursing(some nurses from years passed have commented that because I can't pass the exam they themselves wouldn't feel right to have their lives on my hands etc) but my heart is in the right place for it. (Excuse my slight rant as I am greatly empathetic to you frontliners and my personal demons with a standardized test). Its Frustrating that I cannot do more to help you frontliners. My message to you guys is please stay safe and stay vigilant to this virus. I wish you well and hopefully I may be able to join you guys. God bless all and especially the medical staff and hospital staff who are in the most affected areas at this moment. I pray for your safety.

To Anyone who is willing to help me. I need advice from people on how to pass the Nclex-RN format (2013-Present). A little something about me, I graduated from a Nursing Program from another country back in 2012 and have moved here in the U.S.. Since 2013 last year till most recently of this year 2014, I have never stopped chasing the dream of being a US-RN. I will be completely honest to anyone reading this thread. I have failed the Nclex-RN 5 times already and it has been a dreaded experience for me with having my first examination shutting off at 75, my second shutting off at 103 and my third,fourth and most recently fifth shutting off at 75. Im at a loss here guys. I have tried Kaplan,Nclex Cram,Hurst and the saunders books. I need help and advices from you guys.it has been a rough 2yrs chasing the dream but im not giving up. I work and study right now. I rarely go out and barely have anyone to help me with this issue. My first examination, i used kaplan but it didn't really help me out with content. My Second and Third take of the exam was based on Nclex-Cram review books My fourth and Fifth take were Hurst based and saunders books. can anyone help me? I'm desperate for some support now with my studies. P.S. I hope no one judges me based on my failures. I am a really BAD test taker but a very competent and knowledgeable nurse when in my clinicals back then.
