Do some reading in the NCLEX forum. You will find plenty of advice. Most important thing is to not dwell on your failure, put it behind you. Get yourself together and make a new plan and stick to it. Study as if you had never tested before. Don't give up or waste time on "what if?".

thanks caliotter3..i feel disappointed but this failure made me realize to be more focused..i hope i can do better on my next exam..

dadah believe in yourself! Study hard and pray hard. I retake my neclex... 2nd attempt on 7/27.

I'm ready to walk in there and own it! Do lots and lots of questions! read the rationales wrong and right. Review content areas you are weak in. And.... Good luck! Don't give up on your dream!

I highly recommend you get Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment by Linda LaCharity..The NCLEX is chock full of Prioritization questions and the questions in this book deal with that thoroughly. I took my NCLEX July 22 and passed--I accredit alot of success to this book.

LaCharity + Infection mnemonic = 50% of my whole NCLEX!!! 25% pharmacy, and the rest peds, mental health, and on SATA -select all that apply! I hate those, but they were not as nasty as the ones on lacharity or mosby!

Mosby+LaCharity+ati little leadership book= the best combo I could recommend. If I could rate, I'd say that nclex questions were harder than saunders but easier than mosbys!
