I just took the nclex RN a few weeks ago. I managed to keep good grades all through nursing school. I graduated in December 2013, and took the nclex jan 2014. I studied for weeks after graduation and scored above average on all the practice tests. I felt confident going itl the test. I took all 265 questions and took 5.5 hours. at first i felt okay afterwards but then did the Pearson vue trick and got the "bad" pop up. it took a couple days for it to set in that i had failed. I was devastated. I felt as if i had felt everyone down, including myself. Most of my classmates had passed, so i just felt "stupid." I am now ready to retest and pass my 2nd attempt in 45 days. If anyone has any advice, study tips, etc, I would gladly appreciate it!
