Hi everyone,

This is my first post. I love this site it has helped me with many questions about different things. I am a mom of 3 and a wife that started school after being a homemaker for over 10 years. When I started working as a caregiver with seniors in 2011 I realized that nursing is my calling. Got my GED while working part time, took the required prerequisites and started the LVN program in January 2013; graduated in December 2013. School as we all know was not easy at all, so many times i thought I was not going to make it! :nailbiting:Needless to say that I finish, there is no doubt in my mind that all was Thanks to God that gave the strength need it every time. Right now I just need a few words of encouragement, I am getting ready to take the NCLEX for the second time. I had too many things happening before I took it for the first time and was not able to study/prepare for it. Got 205 questions, took the whole 5 hours and fail. The date is coming for me to take it for the second time and my nerves are to the roof. I have been reading and reading and practicing questions; at times I feel strong and prepared and at times I feel I don't know anything.

Thank you for listening and hope to have good news soon.

Good luck! I recently took my NCLEX PN and got the "good pop up" it's a very exciting and nerve wrecking time. I too am a mother with 4 children so I know the struggles. I used Kaplan Q Bank and NCLEX mastery app I felt that helped me out a lot. The questions to me resembles HESI format the most. Keep us posted

Congrats!!

Thank you for your support BSN1986! I took the Nclex for the second time on July 30, 2014 and Passed!!! Actually when I came out of the testing center I was so discourage, so disappointed at myself, I was 100% sure I did not passed. Then I did the Pearson Vue trick and got the "good pop", I could not believe it. I waited 72 hrs and then checked for the quick results, sure enough I HAD PASSED!!!

I know the feeling. ..
