FAILED NCLEX RN " when you feel like quitting, take a BREAK" Its normal to Fail, its normal to feel upset, only you know how it feels.Keep yourself motivated! I know you feel like quitting sometimes, but hold on to it and take break instead. I know you are preparing hard, cheers and keep up!   Do check the rationales  even the answers were right or wrong. Do sleep well ,follow your study schedule and do what feels good! Good thing is you can retest, that's a great opportunity! I  had failed NCLEX RN before, I felt the same way.....  but I didn't give up, I kept clam and I believed in myself. If I could do it then You can do it too.
