i am unhappy!!!!

You'll pass the next time. Have faith. I know it's hard but you've come this far. Don't be discouraged to the point of giving up. Tie a knot at the end of your rope and hang on, baby! Good luck for the next time. Just try to review what you think you may have missed. Don't over study, though, you might psych yourself out of doing as well as you could. I'm sorry. Don't dwell on not passing this time. There's another chance for you out there.

:wink2:

hi fjohnson51.. we both have the same case. i also failed my NCLEX RN exam, felt so depressed about it. you are not alone. let us just thank the LORD for it because this might be just a trial that will help us become a better nurse in the future. let us just think positive the next time we take it. don't worry, we can make it next time. have faith! keep in touch. by the way, when are you planning to retake it?

I just fund out that I did not make it on the nclex exam. If anyone have an idea on how I shoud aproach the exam the next time. I realy beieved I pass but that was not the case. I am unhapphy but want to take the time to thank the LORD for everything he has done for me and where is has brought me from. I hope to find the stenght and courage take the exam again. Please send me any word of incouragement and advise that you may have. Thanks

Hi im sorry that you didnt make it, but its not the end of the world and you're not the only one who failed the nclex exam, there have been a lot of nurses who didnt make it before but still they stood up and tried again and passed it. I felt a little shaky though when i read that you believed you pass the exam coz that's what i have been feeling since friday after i took the exam. I remembered several questions and when i got home i checked on my answers and most of them were right. There were really tough questions that it took me awhile to get on to the next question but there were easy questions too. In totality i felt the exam was doable that's why i smiled and felt a little relieved after i took the exam, so that's why when you said you believed you pass but then you failed, i got nervous, coz i might be wrong and be totally disappointed when i get my results.

One thing is really important to understand about the NCLEX:

Typically, both passers and failers get about 50% right and 50% wrong.

It's not how many you get right that determines pass/fail (since everyone does about the same), but the level of difficulty required to keep you around 50%.

With an exam set up in that way, it's really hard to predict the result of your own exam.

Hi dear ; thanks fro the word of incouragement. I will keep my head up and look into the future for next time. I am thankful for all the LORD has done for me and I will continue to give thanks as long as I have any breath in my body. Many, many thanks.

You will do fine next time and pass...just have faith

Make sure you prepare for the test differently next time. Give yourself some time off and when you are ready to study again, try doing a different approach. I passed my test on the 4th try and for me, doing saunder's and kaplan Qbank was what helped me. Keep praying also and believe in yourself. If I can help you in anyway, PM me I will be glad to help you.

fjohnson51, I don't frequent this board too much anymore just cause I have passed since June 6th (when I found out). but what I can tell you is hand in there and like someone else said before me tie your knot and hang on!!!
