My experience of nclex and FAILED

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

So, i took my nclex jan 28, 2013.. after praying so hard, fasted, and all that.

I graduated from nursing school dec, 2012. I took 3 days off after school, and started studying. Going to the library mon-fri. 10am -6pm. studying, aswering questions. i was dedicated to pass the exam ONCE. ALL of my classmates passed it once with only 2 weeks of studying, even the ones in class, i least expect to pass, PASSED IT the first time.. I keep putting my faith in God, speaking 75 questions, and 6 SATA.. the day of the exam, i couldnt sleep, tossed and tossed and my exam was at 2pm. Woke up. 9am, showed, review a lil, i was ready for this exam. drove to the test center, 2 hrs prior, cuz i wanted to get it over with. BAM, it was 2p,. did the nclex tutorials, and exam started with #1: SATA.. then on,on, on.. I reached #74, it asked me for a break, knowing i only had 1 questions left, man,was it going to stop.. i had 8 SATA already.. man, the test kept going..78..90..100..120..140..I lost count of SATA,, started freaking out, crying.. brain stop working.. cant focus anymore..( I am not the usual type that will sit for a test for a long period of time)..#180, test is still going on,, ok so i said if it reached 190, it will stop.. no, it didnt.. 200, 210,220.. at this time, i figuered, i was pick to do all the 265 questions.. i took my time, and ran out of time at #230..TIME EXPIRED.. had up to 30SATA, everything you could think of, meds calc, pharms, ez questions, sata,everything.. i am thinking well the more i keep seeing SATA, or prioritization, i am passing.. I was the last to finish at 8pm..(2pm-8pm).oh.. while i was taking the test at #210, it asked me for a break, i said yes. went to the restroom, dont know what to do, stated crying, and was having massive HA..(i guess cuz i was fasting, waiting on God ON THE day of my exam). EXAM OVA.. long 20mins driving.. praying, speaking God's words, crying, almost hit a car cuz i dont know how to feel.. Got home. did the pearson vue trick, though i had passed when i saw a pop-up, but it was becuz, i didnt complete the box i was suppose to enter my school code.. anyhow, retried the pearson vue trick, and went to all the way to CC. man, did that HA came rushing down, shaking, i though i was going to DIE. what will i tell my parents, How could God have dissapointed me. I was going into shock.. and up till now.. I did the trick so many times believing God for a miracle, nope. I failed by seeing the CC page.. I do not even want to see my result, check the BON website, nope, my name is not there.. My parents are waiting for the 48 hrs period result to confirm.. I feel like moving in with my fiance, cuz i dont know how to live in my parents house with fussing in my ear.. I wanted to stop believing in God, I FEEL REJECTED after all his Promises. before my nclex, i fasted FB, MOVIES, food so that God could hear me. After failing, i open up fb to see how many of my classmates had passed.. well I FAILED according to pearson vue trick.. I studied saunders, HURST, PDA, back to back.. I dont know where to start from, i block people on my phone from calling me and asking me ( where is the mouth ti say i Failed). I felt like a piece of **** after studying so hard.. I guess this time, register for the NSCBN questions, and do questions and questions. I dont have money for Kaplan. not working, and i am broke..hurst??? i want my money back.. To anyone who failed, I am sorry cuz (crying*****) i dont know how to encourage you cuz i am not encouraged at the moment. thru out the whole day of my exam, i didnt eat nothing or drink anything even water for 24 hrs.. (dry fasting). I dont know how my parents will c me after 48 hrs of seeing my result. I want to move out to my fiance and retake it there but i do not think my parents will accept.. I am HOPELESS, dont know where to move from HERE... crying....

AND also encouraged her not to believe in her God.....that's ugly and just plain wrong. Hope you don't carry on like that with patients...yikes!

wow. yall hold up.. I dont Play with my God. first of all, thanks yall for all the encouragement and everything.. my motto is and will still be as long as i have breathe in me " IT CAN ONLY BE GOD, AND WITH HIM I CAN DO ALL THINGS THRU CHRIST WHO STRENGTHENS ME". I haven't seen my result officially YET, but me viewing the PVT trick was like i was doubting God and not having faith. nurse2b121212.. i really appreciate ur effort and please keep spreading the GOOD news to the unbeliever. And I pray that God will surely reward us. Others, pls this is my post, I am for God, if you have words of encouragement please write it down, but insulting my King,my savior or any other words that does not glorify the lord, please KEEP SHUT. if you are an atheist, i welcome you to the throne of GRACE where God favor everybody , even the sinners. the rain does not only fall on the believers but also on the sinners. please RESPECT my God.. Secondly, my fasting is my own spiritual way on waiting on the LORD. Now, either GOOD or BAD, I will continue to serve him.. cuz, nclex is not my life neither is nursing.. but HEAVEN IS MY GOAL. if i pass, to God be the glory, if i dont, to God be the glory. As long i inherit HEAVEN, i am GOOD. I am not worry about the exam, but i know God's plan for me are the very BEST. He gives wisdom to solomom, understanding to his disciples and knowledge to David to defeat Goliath. The God that i serve, is always with me.. and by FAITH , I CAN TELL YOU THIS. in the name of JESUS, I PASSED.. SO those who put their trust in pvt tricks, and whats not, they are just merely IDOLS, trust in the LORD and you will NEVER be ASHAMED!!! tHANK YALL.

AMEN sister!!!

"Do not place faith in a deity to help you with exams or your eventual practice as a nurse. " WOW! This is shocking to me, and never on this site have I seen such....heck, I can't even find a word for it. My comments were meant to help ease her mind and give some perspective....not to mislead her. Second of all, I don't want any nurse touching me or my family that doesn't have faith in a "deity," I want a nurse that depends on God for strength and ask God every day before heading off to work that God gives them the intuition, a sharp mind, and sound judgement when caring for their patients. And as a believer I took her. comment "feel like God dissapointed me," was her feelings at the time, which is completely normal and natural when she felt discouraged and scared soon after taking the test. Yes, I believe one should do the work to succeed and be able to pass the test, and that God isn't just going to wave a magic wand and grant her R.N. status, but He will see her through and should be asked to grant her endurance and strength to take the test over again if indeed she failed. Your comment was hateful and scary. God has everything to do with everything for those who call upon his name.

I sincerely hope you don't mean you would interrogate people taking care of you and reject them if they were not of the right faith or were atheist.

To the OP: I don't think you can see your failing NCLEX as God rejecting you. It simply meant that on that day, you did not perform to the standard needed to pass the exam.

When I read your post, what stood out to me was how frenzied you sounded, and I wondered if that was the mind-set you had when you approached the test. If you are that frantic the next time, it's going to be very difficult for you to pass.

When you take the test again, try eating a light breakfast/lunch before you go, and make sure it has protein. Since you are a person of faith, perhaps instead of praying to pass the test you should consider praying to have the calm spirit that you will need to be able to recall everything you've learned to apply it to the exam. I have prayed for calmness when I've needed to do a procedure during a hectic moment; it helped me to clear my mind and just focus on what I needed to do.

I honestly doubt your parents are going to reject you for not passing the test. I think you should tell them; they're going to find out eventually, anyway. Give them the chance to be supportive.

I am one heck of a nurse but I guess I won't be touching you or your family. Good luck with that.

Following staff discussion and members failing to follow request from staff to keep to topic it has been decided to keep this thread closed.

Religion for some reason causes issues. The world is a huge place with many different religions and beliefs and for some no beliefs. It would be nice if we could respect everyone whatever they believe and not take threads off topic
