I am now officially a US REGISTERED NURSE!!!After 5 days of waiting, thinking that i did not make it... really felt down after the exam...
finally, ive seen my name on the BON site where i applied.

I did not enroll in a review center nor subscribed to an online review. I modified the review plans of others.:rcgtku: I always read other posts how they did their review, what materials they used, topics to focus and of course most especially- I always pray, positive thoughts with God is the key for the right motivation, courage and strength.

I started a thread in International section for Filipino Nurses who passed without the review center. Now, i am so excited that finally i will be able to answer, join and share my experience. I am not a US graduate and i belong on the 45% passing rate but i have passed the exam on my first try. I know that you can do it too. You just need to study a little harder and do a lot of practice questions.
Be confident with our LORD!

My advice for those who are preparing for the exam:

1.Please seek first God. Ask for guidance. Make plans with him. Make plans for the benefit of others not just for your own self.

2. Make a study plan. ex.100 Q&A a day, specific areas each day, areas of weaknessess, common topics, etc.

3. Follow your plan. Always pray

4. Use Saunders comprehensive review book for theories

5. Use Kaplan and La Charity for practice questions

6. Answer atleast 3,000 questions before you take the exam. read each rationales very well.

7. Have a small notebook so you can write anything that you always keep on forgetting or any topic you feel you need to note down. then reread it when you are in a train, bus, or drying your hair,waiting for a friend..or something like that... repetitions are best tutor!

8. Be confident and be positive!!!

Re: Foreign Nurse Passed The Nclex On First Try

Congratulation! I'm so happy to hear that a foreing Nurse pass at the first time. Thank you for sharing your strategies. I'm a canadian nurse and I failed the Nclex-RN Florida on july 15. I'm a christian, so I keep praying and hope that I will pass one day. I really love Nursing , I don't see money, I just see my clients That I will be able to take care, and this is the reason why I'm so sure I will pass one day. For me, this is a blessing to find that site. I was really depressed the day I find that site, and God bless you all to share your comment .

Thank you again for your idea and congratulation again

Give God glory!
