Retake NCLEX RN

wondern, ASN · Mar 30, 2011

:redpinkhe Hang in there, buddy! It seems huge now but your life is so much bigger than this one aspect. Just remain calm, breathe, keep telling yourself the above, and go treat yourself to something nice that you really enjoy. You deserve it.

Testing can be very stress-inducing. This too shall pass. You may even surprise yourself! Not sure how long you have to wait these days. It was only twice a year way back when. I think it's way sooner now.

First, I would like to say don't be too hard on yourself! After taking the NCLEX, I had the worst feeling in the world! Unfortunately, waiting for the results is the worst part of the experience. Second, I know of people in my class that took all 265 questions and still passed the exam. I also have a classmate that used all her exam time and passed. The moral of this story is don't beat yourself up...take the next two days and completely distract yourself until your results are available.

Wishing you much luck!!

Thanks .... I'm starting to feel a little better. Supposibly the trick to find out if you passed or not is by logging on the Pearson site. If it lets you schedule and pay for another exam then u failed. If you passed a block pops up saying you need to call the BON.... Guess who tried it??? Yup me and it let me register and pay as if i were going to take it again. All my classmates who have tried it have been right on. I guess that's why i say i failed.

don't you know how to "trick" the computer into telling you whether or not you passed?

log back in to pearson vue and go thru the registration process again. if it lets you go all the way to the payment screen...you DIDN'T pass. if it gives you some kind of error message that you need to contact someone for assistance...you PASSED.

So sorry to hear that. :crying2: I don't know what you did to prepare the first time and I am sure you have a lot of people around you telling you what to do now but if you would like some help, let me know and I would be more than happy to share.

Retake is about 45-90 days depending on the state, I failed the first time because I overstudied and exhausted myself..5-6 hours a day. I'm retaking in a week. Eek!

Lots of nurses don't pass nclex the 1st time. It doesn't mean you're not a good nurse; just that you had a bad test. Hang in there, you'll do better the next time.
