title: Strategies to assist students to be successful the next time around on the NCLEX-RN.
abstract: Not passing the NCLEX is traumatic for both the graduate and the nursing program's faculty and dean. The faculty need to look at the program and make some strengthening changes such as higher admission requirements, more time in some clinical course, or increased use of NLN tests for specialty areas. Additionally, a supportive faculty member needs to assist the graduate who has not passed to make an individualized plan for succeeding the second time. A variety of ways to assist the graduate in studying, that have been found useful at the author's school of nursing, have been suggested.
