Hi again your not alone I graduated In sept 2010 from my Lpn program did not take the nclex until April 2011. I failed but knew I would I was very unprepared. Anyway long story short I have taken the nclex two time after since then the most recent dec 31 2012. Again I failed. The last two times I did the max questions of 205 which is the only real reason I'm not in a deep depression. Bc in the results it clearly states "only those close to passing will receive the max number of questions". I feel like my main issue is content. I get overwhelmed every time I pick up a book. I need someone to help me with a legit study plan to help guide me through the material. An study partner to keep me on track. I have taken the Kaplan online course. My study materials are also exam cram, Saunders, and my Kaplan course book. I do feel as though I need to invest in the PDA book everyone is talking about bc I had 26 select all that apply last time. Anyway if you have access to Skype or something and want to help each other I'm willing!

It's fine if you get a little depressed, but dont give up. Think about why you want to become a nurse in the first place, use that as your motivation. Change up your study habits next time around and youll do fine!! Good luck!!
