In fact, I failed it twice before I was able to pass it.You see, I was born with hearing loss in both ears, which means I had to learn in a more visual way. As a visual learner with a short attention span, lectures were a hundred percent not my thing. Still, I survived nursing school. I went through the NCLEX lecture and reviewed the thousands of pages of the NCLEX review book. I did it all. And yet, I still ended up failing twice.
