Took NCLEX for the third time & failed...

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I just took NCLEX for the third time last week and failed for my third time. Each time my computer shut off at 75 questions, and each time I didn't think the questions were so bad. I'm just at a complete loss now and don't know what to do to study this time around. I've used NCLEX4000, Kaplan book, NSCBN website, and my review book from a review course I took over the summer. At this point, I'm so embarrassed and frustrated that I didn't pass and all of my friends had jobs.

Any words of advice would be helpful! I just don't know where to start..:(

Perhaps enrolling in a refresher course would help.

I did ATI online course and Saunders. May I asked where you graduated from? and don't give up I have seen people take it 5 times.

I went to Molloy College in NY. I' m just very discouraged at this point. I took a review course over the summer that did only content review. Was not like Kaplan where they teach you the technique in how to approach the question. I thought about taking another review, but thought it would be a waste of money at this point. I own a ton of review books, and wat to try and utilize what I have and planned on trying Saunders this time. As for ATI, did you enjoy it? My school set me up with ATI for free after I failed the first time and I didn't care for it because I found it was like being in school again and doing homework assignments. Your thoughts are greatly appreciated!

Our school uses ATI and most of us like it. The website isn't the most user friendly but the content is good.

What about PDA by LaCharity? Good luck!!

Quite honestly my school used ATI and I thought it was nothing at all like the NCLEX. Kaplan was most helpful to me. I took the review class and answered as many questions as I possibly could. I passed with 75 questions the first time and I did not score terribly high on their last test that is suppose to be a predictor.
