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.

Hey nurse671, congrats on passing! What is the rosary prayer?

congratulations... to you....

may i ask how long was your review before you finally took the exam.

RN2Be77.. The rosary was a 9 days prayer dedicated on passing the exam, a prayer to St. Jude and St. Joseph, and Sto. Nino. :) It was really good. I wish I had saved it but I deleted and threw all my notes except for this 5 rule notebook that I filled up with imp notes..

butorphanol.. Thank you. My review was on and off but I started to really focus 6 months before the test. I didn't have confident even to the very last second :(. Lots of tears and desperation but it all turn out to be ok.

I'm still Job hunting its been again very frustrating way harder than Nclex review. :sniff: During my one and only interview so far I was asked how I deal with stress?? I didn't really thought about it it just came out of my mouth I said "I hold on to faith" The nurse manager just smile at me and actually said very good. So I think I really need to just have faith that good things will come.

Good luck everyone.
