Hi Nursing Friends, I found out this morning that I failed the NCLEX-RN, it was my first time taking the exam. I took all 265 questions which apparently means I was close to not failing but still failed. Anyway, now I am really at a loss for words, mostly because I've got no idea what I do now? I spent enough hours crying and being upset but I know thats not going to help me pass. As much as this sucks I know it does not change the type of nurse I will become. If anything it will make me love and appreciate my job even more. So I'm holding my head up high and am getting ready to dive into studying again after I figure out the best approach. What I did for the first NCLEX was; take a live review with Hurst, ATI question bank (came with my nursing school), and used the NCSBN question bank. If there is anyone out there that could give me some advice on what to do and materials to use after failing the first time I would really appreciate anything! - Any thoughts on study material such as Davis's Q&A, Saunders, Lippincott etc.
