Hi All-
I recently took the NCLEX-RN for my 4th time and was unsuccessful yet again! Each time in the past that I have taken the exam I have been closer and closer to passing. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next? I know I will take the exam again but I just don't know what I am doing wrong.
I have used ATI, VATI, Kaplan, NCSBN NCLEX Review, PDA review, Saunders and other books to help review.
I am getting to the point where I just don't know what I am doing wrong and it is getting very frustrating and expensive!
Also any tips on what I can do for jobs in the mean time?
Thanks!

I have used a few books and both Kaplan and hurst live reviews and still failed as well. This time I have started using picnomics on-line and I have been doing a lot better cause it is helping me remember a lot of content because of the pictures. I think they even have a few trial, you wont be able to get all of the pictures but you at least get to try it and go from there.

Do you find yourself struggling on content?
Or do you think you know your content but you just need to know how to pick the BEST answer?
I would ask myself while doing questions what the question was asking and if I had NO clue I would look at the answers because sometimes the answers can give it away. If I cannot answer both...it's content. If I know what the question is asking and just choose the not the best answer it might most likely be testing strategies.
