try hurstreview.com and kaplan complete course. good luck. try to think positive and cheer up. don't let depression take your confidence away. you have the brain or you would not graduate nursing. you just have to learn test taking skills, how nclex test makers think, and a good drill on application problems. I suggest you work in the hospital even just as a part time CNA to be familiar with hospital environment, procedures and interaction with patients and real situations that might help you with the test. Read review books but focus more on answering sample test. Eventually, your speed and accuracy will increase. Relax and be good to yourself. Exercise and take care of your health. Family and friends are good support, but they do not really know what your are going through. You made a good choice coming to this site. Soon you will be a licenced nurse and be able to laugh at this. Take care.

Nadu, my heart bleed with you for not passing the test. I know it will hurt because we are humans beings with feelings and emotions. However it is never too late for you to become what you would have been.

One thing you have to note is that, you are only a failure if you do not try again. Do not focus on your inability to "retain information" it will harm your thought process which will intend lead to failure because your input determines your output.

See yourself as passing the test and doing what you've always dream of becoming. There is no limit to what you can do, you have the potential and the ability to pass this test next time. Never allow anything to stop you. Create a positive image about yourself and dream big for you were born a winner not a looser.

May the most high grant you wisdom, knowlegde and favor to pass the test next time. I wish you good luck and may the good LORD cover you with his wings at this crucial moment in your life.

Hey guys, thank u soo much for the messages and I take everyone's word of wisdom with me. I will definitely not give up because I want this too bad and this is what I was put on this earth to do. I did go ahead and start the Suzanne Study Tips and so far it is working very well for me. Reading this site just gives me more strength to continue my journey of becoming a Nurse... Thank You
