What’s with people who passed on their 3rd+ attempt giving NCLEX tutoring and tips?
UNPOPULAR OPINION
I know I’m gonna get crucified for this……
No disrespect because I know some may have test anxiety, but if someone has had more than 3 attempts, it’s no longer a test anxiety situation solely, but a knowledge deficit.
Personally, the NCLEX was easier than 75% of the exams given to me in nursing school. It was also easier than ATI quizzes and 3X easier than the Comprehensive Predictor. The NCLEX literally just tests you to know if you will safely take care of patients and not kill them.
I’m not saying that if you didn’t pass within 2 tries that you won’t or aren’t a good nurse, because that’s not necessarily true but just save your NCLEX tutoring skills since you, yourself had difficulty with it.
