Its official! I pass! Im a Register Nurse!! Its feels really good. Thank you Heavenly Father, allnurses, all the awesome people I met here.

My source:

Kaplan Qt and Qbank: way harder then the actual Nclex but was helpful, it help me think critically.

Saunders: read the entire book 4 times (ok 5 times, 6 on some chapters:lol2:) Who knew I could actually read. A big surprise for me too I didn't know reading could be fun.

Nclex4000: I honestly can't make up my mind if this source helped me.

NCSBN: i enrolled 3 weeks. In my opinion 3 weeks wasn't enough because I read even their content.

Random Facts on the sticky notes: I must have read this like3-4 times. Somebody with a good heart put together most of the post.

PDA: very helpful.

Prayers: very important even with my busy day I did the rosary almost daily.

Also I read lots of post saying they had meds that they never heard of so I would go to American Food and Drug Administration website to check is there new drugs?? I also check American Diabetes Association, it helpful (although I didn't have questions on endocrine) they have what you need to know about diabetes A-Z they have topics that i didnt see on the Saunders Review.American Cancer, CDC (what are the hot/new issues). I figured hey I'm gonna work in America let me get myself educated..

I heard Hurst is a good review. I really wish I had this because I know it would probably help me too. But again limited funds.

Sorry I know how frustrating it is to have so much source, during my exam I had a mission to figure what source really help me so I can post it here but sorry i fail in that I don't know which one is the most helpful.

Guys my life is so hard. I didn't even have a quiet place to study. I had very limited funds I couldn't afford daycare and no one to help me not even friends/family.The father of my kids he was always tired from work when he comes home he would play xbox to relax even on his days off. :( For my stress reliever I go to allnurses.com as much as I can because it relieves my tension. I often wish I had at least enough funds to go get my hair/nails done or go yoga.

Goodluck to all. Please if I can do it (me who everyone around me thinks/threat me like Im dumb) If I can do it you can do it.

WeirdNurse.. Goodluck to you. You can do it. You can pass this test.

Stephalump Thank you. I will do my best to be a good nurse. The learning doesn't stop just because I pass. :redpinkhe

OMG, I just checked into this thread, WOW, congrats to you! It was so moving and uplifting! Your struggles have turned into a blissful event for you (and your family). I think mommy will be even a better mommy than before, I know that you were all that still tho' and better nurse now that this part of your career life has passed.

Onward and forward to your next adventure, looking for the first nursing job, you'll do good with that too and I can tell you have that great personality and demeanor to come across that way.

I too as a PH grad, still looking to get the ATT (I have to pass in CA (denied) due to the concurrency issue affecting us all recent grads), what state are you in?

Good luck to you again!

Noemark . Nclex review is stressful enough thinking of what people thinks adds more stress so I suggest not to think of what will people say if you don't pass. Just keep moving forward and keep reviewing. You got this.

steppybay hello! Thank you for your kind words. Although Im proud to be filipina I actually graduate here in US :) Right after highschool I work to save money for college, so for 2 years I was working, saving and helping my older sister pay her tuition in college. When I started college my savings of course was wiped out fast and my fulltime job was not enough so I had to find a part time job too. I was exhausted luckily my sister graduated and was able to work too and help me with my tuition.

My biggest regret ever is taking such long break.. Yes I was exhausted but I feel bad that it took me 6 years to pass Nclex. During my review I would cry because I would say to myself "well geez review could have been easier if I review before I had kids, our when I was pregnant, or when they were still infant where I dont need to chase them around". Thank God I pass, its the ultimate blessing having 2 wonderful children and having my license. I just need to find a job now :D

I hope all goes well to you and all recent grads :)
