Chin up Virg, it is great you can take the NCLEX again. I would love to know the actual percentage of failure rate. I think we would all be surprised so do not beat yourself up ok?

You have a lot to live for with a family etc.

Hope you are able to step back a little, regroup, get that fire in ya belly and move forward.

I practiced NCLEX exams every morning and night. I would do 200-300 practice questions a day.

I found for me this was benefical because of the terminologies used etc.

I wish you strength and focus for you at this time. :)

Hi Virg2z,

I used the NCLEX book that comes out every year here. I did the practice exams etc in the book and used the CD with 100's of questions on that. I lived questions daily. I ate, drank and nearly slept doing questions until I felt very comfortable.

I did not use online sources at all but try googling and see what you come up with.

How soon are you able to re sit the exam? Try not to put it off for too long. Do your practice stuff and focus on passing that sucker ok?

I wish you all the very best.

I'm sorry to hear that VIRG2Z...:o

Don't despair, trust God, pray and continue your exam preparation...I suggest that you use ma'am Suzanne4's program for your exam preparation.

Make God as your top priority.

I have made a thread here that contains Biblical passages. Please take time to read these passages by hear and hopeful faith and complete surrender to God.

God bless! God loves you, God loves us all.

So sorry. I know how disappointed you are. I think it's a good idea to take a few weeks to regroup then go back in fighting. I wish you the best.

I am also sorry that this didn't work out for you this time. Like others have said, take a bit of time and then go back fighting. Did they send you an outline of things to review to show your weaknesses? Maybe that is where you should begin to concentrate on. Best wishes!

It maybe hard, but if we hold on to our faith in God, we can endure and go through this. When you surrender to God, you will see that everything else lightens up no matter how hard the trials are. You will always find strength and happiness in God.
