What else can I do?

Published

I found out today that I failed for the second time. I am deeply depressed right now. Used Suzanne's plan, broke the cycle a little bit on the 43rd day and finished the following day. My last few practice test questions were on the 70's. I guess, it was not my time yet. When I left the testing center, I was confident and thought I passed, considering that I had 75 questions with 1 calculation, 1 documentation, 3 SATA, prioritization and infection control. You wouldn't really know I guess until you see the results. I don't know what else to do this time. I ran out of resources financially. I'm considering looking for a part time job to help my husband with financial needs. Also, considering to try my luck in a different state for the 3rd attempt.

Thanks for all the support and I hope that you will continue that support because I really need it!:bluecry1:

Best of luck to the others taking the boards.

:( Sorry to hear you did not pass this time. Don't give up. I know lots of really great nurses who are wonderful who failed once and a couple who failed twice. Keep trying, it is worth it. You can do this.

I so sorry too :(...I am testing next month. Please do not consider giving up, just keep testing until you pass. I know that sounds expensive, but hey no one can tell you otherwise if you have made up your mind to be a nurse, it should just be a matter of time and money and a few "NCLEX's " later. That is my plan if I do not pass...just keep testing and testing until you do. Eventually you WILL pass it is just a question of when. :up:

If you broke the cycle for Suzanne's plan then really you didn't follow it properly, maybe reconsider using her plan again but following it exactly as it is written

Yes, I am reconsidering it. I was almost done with the 45 day program when I had a huge argument with my husband. I guess that contributed, it really made me feel stressed out and didn't want to do anything that day. I felt like there was too much pressure going on (financially). So I said, I would have to rest for a day and continue the next day just to clear my mind, which I did and that's what happened.

I still love Suzanne, pass or fail. It's just that I'm kinda feeling down right now. I know that the 3rd time is critical. If I don't pass it, I would have to remediate for 30 hrs and submit the remediation papers to the BON before taking it again.

Any type of stress, can't get worse than arguing with other half, to add to stress already faced with sitting NCLEX. Hang in there and good luck

i guess this was not the right time.just hang in there, gather yourself and prepare again. i know its not as easy as it sounds, and i know how devastating your situation is, but dont you ever give up.. just try it again... it doesnt matter if you took it for the third time or whatever, what matters most is that you are determine to strive for the best.. i know its hard to start all over again but just trust yourself.. and tell yourself that this time your gonna make it..

good luck to you..
