Oh my dear, Lift your head up. Just know you are smart and only having difficulty with this test, remove those negative words from your mouth and thoughts. You just have to tap into what works for you and what did not work. Spend a little time understanding what you are weak in. I know that is easier said than done but I truly believe once you find your weak points you will be successful at passing this test. As for now relax and take some time for you "mentally, emotionally, and spiritually", a lot of people take NCLEX several times before finally passing it. Once you have relaxed dive back in, maybe try Suzanne plan.

--Peace and Love--

I'm so sorry grad nurse. I'm so sorry. You know what.... get ******! yup, get ****** and take this test by it's horns and make the decision that YOU will defeat the test, this test WILL NOT defeat you.

Best of luck and TAKE BACK CONTROL! :)

I know this might sound a bit corny but I watched The Secret and I tried to say to myself every night before I went to bed that I am going to pass and I lit candles and did all kinds of wacky **** besides studying to get any help from anywhere I could. I am so sorry that you didn't pass but I believe in my heart that you can do this. I don't know you or anything about you but it's obvious that you want this really bad or you wouldn't even keep trying. I am sure you are studying so it has to be on some level you do not believe in yourself. Keep studying but also you have to put it out there to the universe that you deserve it and want it and you will get it. Hope this helps.

omg help me. i thought this time i would've passed. this is my third time taking the exam and still i'm not an RN. What a 4th of July celebration this is for me. to find out that i didn't pass the exam. i feel like i'm loosing my mind. i don't know what to do now. why can't i pass this exam. i read all the postings people put on this website and they pass but why can't i. omg help me. i feel like dying.

I too failed the exam for the third time. Last month I sat, I had ALL the questions. I was confident. I was happy. I was DETERMINED. All negative thoughts gone. All positive thoughts there. 265 questions, 5.5 hours later, I failed. The horrible thing is, I don't know what I could have done differently.

WHAT I am going to do is... take a break. Why? Because in FL, I believe you can only sit 3 times and then you have to do a LONG and expensive remedial class with clinical time. Are you kidding me??? Someone from Fl please explain.

But the other thing I'm going to do is challenge the board, though I haven't spoken to them yet. That is on the agenda. I have heard that if you challenge the board, then you will be able to VIEW your exam. For my sanity, I figure I need this. I went from 150, to 229, to all the questions... From my outlook I must be close. SO my question is HOW close... why did I fail at 265 and not 75? Why didn't I pass at 265, when the odds should have been there for me?

The only other option for me, and it would actually SAVE me time and money, is to test out of state... That is another possibility.

BUT gradnurse2, chin up, count your blessings in life (I have to get away from my nursing career thus far), but I do have many blessings I am thankful for, and then rock on. We will get through this.

GOOD LUCK!

AWWW, I am sorry to hear that you didn't pass boards. I didn't pass the first time. I know that you have taken it more than twice but you aren't the only one. It is difficult and one of the most challenging tests you'll have to take but...YOU CAN DO IT!! You got through nursing school. NCLEX is difficult because it tests on a different level. Try to determine what went wrong and how to make things better the next time. Give yourself time before you retake the test. YOU WILL PASS THIS TEST.

cheer up my dear i more than understand your pain. I took last may and fail with 265 too I felt the way but i will never give up I am taking agin in August doing suzzan's plan this time. So don't ever think of giving up. By the way this is my 6th time trying to pass this test and i will pass this time.

I took mine on July 2nd with 265 questions and also did not pass! have been reading on here since then and feel so much support from everyone on here. Everyone (family) just says "it's not a big deal, it will be ok..blah blah blah" but it is a big deal to me and you all understand that! Thanks so much.Ready to try Suzanne's plan, hope it works.
