Took NCLEX on 2/17 and failed

I just found out I failed the NCLEX and am devistated! This is absolutely the worst feeling. I even took a Kaplan course, but obviously that didn't help....I'm feeling pretty low right now, does anybody have any studying suggestions for the next time?

according to the "unofficial" results on the pearson website I failed so I'm pretty sure they are right.

Prayin2pass,

I write to with sincere empathy.I too, took the NCLEX - RN on 2/11/09 and found out 2/13/09, that I FAILED !!! When I saw this word on the screen, my body just went numb. Many tears were shed :cry:, and I asked myself multiple questions. I felt I had let everyone down who had faith in me. You have to overcome these feelings now, and pick yourself up. Think positively, and don't dwell on the past now.

The best recommendation I can give you is to considered Suzanne's plan. I have researched her plan, and have read many posts where people have been successful, utilizing her plan. You must, read and follow the instructions very carefully though. Suzanne makes it very clear do not incorporate other self - studies with hers. Suzanne says to take the week off, before starting Tip # 1 (the review), it is VERY IMPORTANT. You must give yourself time to deal with your emotions and to refresh your brain.

I wish you the best of luck, and do not be discouraged. Just think of this as a small hurdle to overcome; nursing school is behind you now which was the most rigorous challenge. :D

Sorry to you failed. Take a break to regroup and consider doing Suzanne's Plan. Good luck.:heartbeat

I'm so sorry to hear that you failed. *hugs*

same thing happened to me i know how you feel

im sorry to hear that..keep going, you'll make it and all the rest of us here who havent passed it yet.:)

I know how you feel and I am so sorry! I took it on 2/11 and found out 2/13 that I didn't pass again. I was heart broken and I am still down in the dumps about it. I honestly believe it is one of the hardest things to come back from because we have put so much time and effort into it. But that is just the thing....if we have made it this far we can pass and we will pass!! I too took a kaplan course and I don't know what to do now because it didn't help:crying2: but I have heard great things about Suzanne's plan so I think I am going to give that a try. Keep your head up and don't give up! When we do pass we are going to be great nurses and never take for granted what we are doing!! Best of Luck!!
