please someone respond to me

I'm in the same position but 3 days away. My uworld predictor was borderline. I just haven't been in such great spirits because that was the same thing it told me the first time when i took the nclex the first time and didn't pass.

Hi I am driving myself tears with something so silly. I took my last uworld predictor test - borderling with 37th percentile. then took the free rn nclex mastery simulation nclex - 62% I was so shook. I have been studying all this time and uworld told me the same thing as it did last time. It's my 2nd time taking the nclex. I took the 75 nclex mastery simulation and got 78%. I felt better but then realized "what should I do?" go fourth and take this exam on wednesday or just push it back to the next available date of january 2nd. I just feel so lame when I told myself I wasn't going to push it back anymore.

What kind of person would you recommend because the only person I have around me is a nurse haha. It's not a bad idea I just don't really know who to rely on to keep me accountable. I did have my friend ask me everyday . how many questions I did but then I started to slack off and disappoint him . :/ I know one of my problems is letting my emotions get in my way. thanks for your input

Do you do the questions in tutor or test mode?

I used uworld. the rationales brought be back to the content. Kaplan didn't really do much of that but the questiosn are good. I wasn't much of a fan though because I understand a bit better with images and uworld had that. I have the textbooks they are referring too as well. I would also use youtube. I've used the kaplan basics book and nclex review a few times. I mostly have been sticking to uworld content though.

HI, Thank you for all your input. I do understand that part and i'll make more room for audio and stuff. I do have all three of those books mentioned I think. It is just with so many resources how do you manage and organize when you are going to do what. I was told to just pick one item and focus on it or i'll get mixed up in diff resources. I know I am stuggling with sticking to it. How much time should I give myself? and how did you know you were ready to take the nclex?

I can sense your happiness in this mesage. I failed my first time too. I am looking for guidance. How was your study routine like? how did you schedual your life? did you get distracted and just tips to be focused? how did you motivate yourself? how much time did you feel was right for yourself? I kinda feel like 5% of me wants to pull out and give up but I'm still doing questions but not diligently either way congrats :) It's nice to know others passed in the same position as me.

Hi all, I received my ATT a few days ago. I didn't pass my first try. I am feeling a little discouraged. I'm not sure how to stick to studying and find motivation. I've been loosely doing questions almost every day. But my problem is I get too detailed and read every rationale to the question while taking notes. I have the mark klimeck (spelling?) audio but i haven't really sat down and said "today i shall listen to this and do this". I listened to it on a road trip once. I find that when I set goals - like doing 75 q on tutor mode in uworld it takes me so long and I don't always finish. I get distracted and out of focus very easily. Sometimes fatigue hits me hard as well. A friend of mine told me I need to do 100 question every day. Watch a video on one subject I didn't understand on youtube a day. I haven't made it to 100 questions at most I do 50 and sometimes 75. I have 969 questions unused on uworld but I have almost half of them incorrect. My performance report is 51% correct and 47% incorrect. From my past experience, I had the almost the same percentage. I have to say it is pretty on point because it was 50/50 on uworld I ended up going up to 200 + questions on nclex and didn't pass. I didn't move my date because I promised myself I wouldn't. I don't know how much time to give myself. So much time has passed since I took my last exam in March. I feel kinda lost and I don't really have many people to help guide me I guess. I know I have been pretty low since I failed and my determination got knicked. Thank you for reading and if you comment thank you for feedback

Wow Your words mean so much to me. I felt really silly asking this and vulnerable at the same time. I don't think I'll do it but I have def thought about it. I really appreciate your input. I just hope one day i can openly talk about it in that manner without risking my career.

I figured. I just wanted clear validation from those that are experienced. thank you. i hope I am not making myself look bad asking this.

Make's sense. I did share an experience anonymously via a poc healthcare workers zine

I don't even know you but i want to say i love you. You are being hard on yourself and i can see that you want approval from family but ultimately you should approve yourself. But i'm good at giving advice and not following it myself. I didn't go straight into nursing school after high school and I am not super young. I just got my AA and I'm 27. I do have plans to get my bachelors. I have the same mentality as you. But as support I can tell you that you are pushing forward to lift yourself up and that is awesome despite the lack of support you may feel from your family. I hope my small words help. Sorry i got a littler personal but i can def relate. much love and congrats

I'm just curious. I don't mean while actually practicing with a patient and in the work setting but outside in your personal life and online. The are people online that are advocates for mental health. I just wonder if you can be a nurse and talk about your personal experience with your mental health recovery and relapses online or is it a risk to your job/etc if you do that. I wasn't sure where to post this and I'm also a nursing student. This just crossed my mind. thank you sorry for my grammar

HI there, This happened in my school too. When I came in it was first implemented. Instead of it being our actual grade it was a percentage that applied to our grade and it really knocked us down. I failed my first class because of it. Since the staff was messy with the syllabus I was able to argue it. A lot of us had the impression that it wasn't counted to our grade but if we got 60% or higher we would get extra credit points ( at least that was how they explained it to us). Then the syllabus said that it wouldn't be counted towards our grade on one page but on another page in one line it said that it would be. I screen shot everything and argued with the director and finally it was lifted. They readjusted it so that it would only give us points if we did pass. We were required to still take proctored tests with our midterm and final though. It was expected of us to get 60 or above though. We were also required to remediate the test. I would suggest talking to the director and if you have some people on board with you then do it as a group. kaplan is hard and they don't teach us techniques to engage the questions during class just content. good luck and i'm sorry for the stress
