3rd time is a charm

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Hello, on Friday I took the NCLEX and after 78 questions it stopped. I thought to myself what just happened since the test seemed pretty easy to me. After I took the test and the proctor came I was :confused: because this was my third time taking the exam and I was like Ive been studying non-stop for almost 3 months now, please Lord tell me I Pass. Today which is Sunday, I was inpatient so I did the Pearson Vue Trick and got the GOOD POP UP but was still nervous. At 6:30 it said my results were ready after paying the money I could not look I honestly felt nauseous. I said this is my third time and twice before I failed. When I saw PASS :D:yeah:;) I was in total bliss. I'm an RN :p.

To those who did not pass on the first go, don't give up, you will PASS. I recommend doing LaCharity Prioritizing and Delegation book, Kaplan questions (similar to NCLEX questions) or Saunders or Mosby's (Application and Analysis). I would also recommend doing at least 100 questions a day and going over the rationales. Also if you can, a review class, I did ATI LIVE REVIEW, it was straightforward. I also recommend exercising and praying. Good luck to you all :up:

I totally agree with you OP. It took the third time for me to pass the NCLEX. It was one of the best feelings in the world. This was back in Jan 2007. I completed by BSN in Dec 2009. I will be attending Walden U in Jan 2010 for MSN in education. Good luck to you.

Thanks good luck to you and your studies and career. I also plan on getting my Masters after I get at least 6 months experience.
