taking nclex rn for the 5th time!

[wishiwasarn]

hi all, i have been in prayer for all taking the nclex rn over the past few years. i am going to take this test tomorrow (friday, 8/22) for the fifth time. i am not sure if i will ever feel 100% prepared. i have been studying completely from saunders until yesterday, when i picked up my exam cram rn and testing some in there. i usually take my tests 10 q at a time because i find it difficult to learn the rationales when i take 100 questions at a time. my grades are staying between 60-80% on these tests. i have been postponing this test since june! i really just want to get it over with. i guess what i am asking is for all of you to pray for me. i think that i will be a great nurse, especially considering the determination it takes to take this test, and consistently studying! so please keep me in your thoughts and prayers, as i will slay this beast tomorrow at 1:30pm!

regardless of what happens, i will never again let this test decide whether i am a failure or a success in this life!!! thanks to all and God Bless!

you can do it!!

I took the NCLEX over weeks ago and failed after being out of nursing for 7 years. I thought I was ready, but.... in retrospect, does anyone thinks it's easier to take a 6 month review course at a college before taking them? I was going to do that or order the Hurst Course and also Suzanne's plan (what ever that is) to pass....

Suzanne's program is designed to be used completely on it's own and if you are planning on using other material as well then you do not meet her requirements

I haven't purchased any other materials except the Saunder's book she recommends. To my understand, she stated to answer all the test questions at the end of each chapter; if I struggle or fail, go back over the material. I'm not sure what to do after that is finished, that is why I wanted to PM here. I am taking my boards mid December. I am willing to just do her plan since everyone here says it works. I really don't want to spent a lot of money on online courses that may not even benefit. How do I pm her?

Once you have completed the first tip (quizzes at the back of each chapter) then you send her a pm with all the information in the format she asks for and she will then send her actual program to you as long as you have met her requirements.

any statistics on the success rate of her program?

[lamir23]

I have read in several posts that Suzanne's plan success rate is high as long as you strictly follow it. I'm currently doing the first tip of her plan. Good luck!

Good Luck to you!! I just failed my NCLEX for the second time this past week!! I had only two math, 5 SATA, and the majority were pretty much prioritizing. Each of my tests were completely different..... Back to the books I go....good luck to you once again!! :)

[chichi04]

i know how exactly you feel...

keep up the good work...

think positive and good luck to u !!!

I find this forum encouraging. It's great to know there are people still plugging away at the NCLEX. I think it shows great fortitude. I'm currently doing the first tip Suzanne suggests... however, I'd also like to know if anyone has tried any of those online courses, like Hurst or Kaplan? From what I've read here, Suzanne's method is awesome and FREE... so that's why I'm doing it. But this IS my livelihood and I am willing to spend some money IF any of those online programs are good. Of course, if I did that, I couldn't do Suzannes because you are supposed to put all other material aside besides what she recommends. But I'm just curious.

Suzanne's program has had an excellent pass rate so if considering her program then I wouldn't even think of looking else where

hi! i'll b taking my nclx the 5th time too, and i'm getting discouraged by he results i've been having:crying2:.What materials are you using now?

[brissygal, BSN, RN]

Hey how did you both do in your NCLEX Wishiwasarn and Angelaclowne?

I have been thinking of you both even across this big ocean of water.

I feel it in my waters (lol) that you both did great! Let us know.

Actually I found Kaplan so much easier to looking at the Saunders book.
