okay, so i bombed my first med-surg exam....73. i am so devestated:crying2: because i "thought" i did pretty well and i just feel like a total failure. i have not failed an exam since i have been in nursing school and i am so scared right now! like my dreams are taking a downspin. i studied and now its like that wasn't good enough or i didn't do it right. somebody please help me. especially if you know where i'm coming from. the job i have is a distraction, i hate it and it stresses me. i don't want to think i will flunk out because of one test but how can i get it right?

Hey, I hope you get this message. I didn't know how else to send it to you....the Hesi was 160 questions. I use the book called Evolve Reach Comprehensive Review for the NCLEX-RN Examination( I went through this whole book and answer all the practice questions), i also use the nclex-rn 3500( I answer about 500 of these questions before i took the test), i also bought the book called saunders strategies for success for the nclex-rn examination( This book was really helpful. It teaches you how to answer nclex style questions and it also has alot of practice questions).

I was having alot of difficulty passing the Hesi so I decided to just answer as many practice nclex style questions from as many nclex books and websites as i could find. If when I looked at a question and did not know the answer, I would go back and review that topic in my nursing school textbook.This help me alot. You need to become comfortable with answering these types of questions. I study and answer questions for about a month before I took the test.

I hope this information helps you and good luck. Just keep practicing those questions and you'll do GREAT!! :D
