Hi everyone, I took my boards for the first time a few days ago and I failed. I did the kaplan review course and did pretty well on those tests (almost always above the 60% mark they say you should be at.) I spent all of my free time focusing on Kaplan tests. After my first attempt at the NCLEX I feel like I just need a content review and maybe something cheaper for questions. I thought the NCLEX questions were more difficult than kaplan. I left the testing center a nervous wreck with my stomach in knots. I'm just so upset that I have to relive this whole experience. I got hired right from graduating and my nurse manager scheduled me to be done precepting and on my own in two weeks. Now I have to wait SIX WEEKS to retest and cannot be on my own while still only being a GN. I will be talking to her about the situation tomorrow. Please say a little prayer for me that she is understanding. My grades were awesome through all of school and I got a 97% predictability of passing the NCLEX on my ATI predictor. I know a big part of it was my anxiety and all of the pressure to pass. Got a little off track there, but what do you suggest for a 2nd time test taker?
