Study tips/ideas for those who failed Nclex?

Published

I just found out that I failed the Nclex. I will need to re-take it. I am just crying while I write this. Most of my classmates all passed. I feel stupid and ashamed. Can anyone tell me how you passed the 2nd time for those who failed the 1st time like me?????

Specializes in Complex pedi to LTC/SA & now a manager.

Moved to NCLEX forum to elicit further input. There are several threads from those with similar experiences. Good luck.

Don't be so hard on yourself. I've failed twice so I know how you feel. What did you use to study with before

thats how i felt but eventhough i wasnt gona give up my problem are test im not good at them. i passed barely on my fifth try. after 2 and a half years after school i passed. review your weekest, get the NBCNS review i thought it was great from there i started to understand how to select a better answer. then just do practice questions and read the rationale when you get it right or wrong always. use flashcards do online researches i found really great free websites with tons of questions.

I am in the same boat as you. I took my exam on 3/14 and failed. Im using Hursts and taking a course called "ready-to-pass" that begins 4/1. Spend a day or two crying it out. I had a swollen face from all the crying. Im very sad over failing, but all we can do is try again and maybe study differently this time. :). My advice is to do practice questions AFTER you feel strongly in content. :)
