[lori_lewis]

Hello, everyone! I've failed the NCLEX twice now. I'm on my third try. On August 31, I'll be taking my third NCLEX. Any tips guys? Also, I would greatly appreciate any encouragement because I really need it right now. Thanks in advance!

Study more.  Work harder. And if you say "I am".... it isn't enough.  If you truly believe you cannot study more or work harder then maybe a career outside nursing is best.  NCLEX is simply the general entry point into nursing.

I agree with you. Thank you for this.

UWorld, study each questions and take your time reading answers why something is correct or not.

Take full month to go over all 200 questions and take another month to go through 2nd test bank. Most likely you are lucking knowledge or skills to answer questions, so you after completing UWorld questions NCLEX would be very easy.

hi Lori,

It can be very discouraging when one fails an exam or anything for that matter in life. But 1, You passed nursing school, "Congrats"!!

Today put everything aside from school, notebooks, etc. (Going back to stuff from school can be overwhelming).

Write on your bathroom mirror with a whiteboard marker, " I can, I will, I must pass NCLEX."  (This is the statement from ReMar nurse.com)  Please take a look at her program, you can even go with a free trial.  I have never seen a test prep help her students more than her. Trust me on this.   Best wishes Lori,
