"and we know that in all things God works for the good whose love him, who have been called according to his purpose.."

-Roman 8:28

My story goes like this,..

I took my nclex today for the first time and can't believe that I surpass it. i went to to testing center 2 hours early... I didn't do anything but only PRAYERS.. Believe me or not. i didn't ready anything prior to my exam. But silent prayers..

why i'm saying this?? If you really trust him and holding on to your faith.. He will give it to you no matter what happen.

i'm saying this because I wanna inspire for those people who's gonna take the exam and for those who's gonna retake it. Believe me or not I'm average student way back in college days.. i know some nursing stuff but not like my classmates that they can discus pathophy easily.

Presenlty I work as i CNA here in California, it is a 5 start facility ang I'm proud to it. I worked for 8 months to them. But the day came that i have to resign due my personal and family matters. And i decided to start reviewing for nclex.

i read saunders 5th edition, kaplan strategies 2013-14 and exam cram 1000k 3rd edition. i did a selfreview for maybe 2 1/2 months after my resignation from work.

Honestly at first i'm so lost because I'm out of school for almost 4 years. Believe me or not its been 4 years since i graduated so when i start answering some review questions. I'm just like "okay what the heck is this,." Its funny but when i continue answering questions there's topic that i know there's topic that i dont know. So decided to pursue my self review I dont have money to afford some review class and online stuff thats why i dedicated my self studying alone.

All the materials that i have help me a lot especially "prayers"

So 2 weeks prior to my exam im not yet finish to my saunders i just read 3/4 of it maybe and ignore the other topics (but i already finish the 2 other books)

I took saunders pretest and got 66% my weakness is OB,Pedia, and newborn. So i read my saunders book even sometimes i fell like do i have to read this again coz its boring. But i conquer it and try to read each topic in my best knowledge that i can give. After that i used the online review the evolve thingy by silvestri and practice some questions. I do practice each client needs and each topic ex. Ob,adult healt, and answer like 150-400 questions a day. I also try to answers some SATA question too using evolve online.

So 2 nights before my exam i challenge my self i answers 100 questions in evolve online under all clients needs ( ex. Safe care and environmet etc.) i have different style questions and sata and some questions that i cant answer. I feel like studying saunders is not helping me i got 59% honestly i feel sad cause i gauge my self after all practicing evolve online 2 nights before my nclex exam i gonna get 59%?? I feel frustrated and feel stupid i told to myself am i ready? Am really going to passed my nclex? I kneel down and pray to God that whatever happens to my exam it is his will.

The day before my exam i didnt review anymore. I just watch tv play in my ipad. Eat ice cream and do some stretching. The night before my exam. I pray and pray and listen to religious songs till i asleep.

Exam day, my mom woke me up and we eat breakfast shes going to her doctor appointment so im gonnna drive alone to testing center, when she left the house. I came back to my room and pray again before i take a bath. I play my religious songs i kneel down and pray. I reminisce all the good things that God gave to me. i ask for forgiveness in times that i blame him if my prayers were not answered. And all of a sudden my tears are coming and i cried. I dont know why but i keep saying to my prayer whatever will be the result it is his will.

I dont remember my questions #1 but #2 is SATA! Yes it is SATA I hava a lot of sata, exhibit, conference questions, who's patient to be seen first, patient teaching, appropriate response, some math questions and of course drag and drop a lot of them, some delegation and meds that i never heard. when my computer didnt stop in #85. I pray and said its okay whatever happens today im gonna accept it all my heart. I read each questions carefully and honeslty even i dont k ow the answer i just pray and always relax, i dont even got panic through the exam. What will you do if you have 5 questions at a time and it is exhibit,sata and drag and drop. For me it torture but i just pray as long as click the button next, when i check my time it feels like am i going to answer all the questions cause my time is not enough to answer all them. I didnt go to break just once in #50 but after that 2 breaks were offer to me by the computer but i said no because i have to use all my time. And 150+ questions goes up to 198 and its stop! I feel like okay?? 7 questions to go before 205 but the computer shut off already when i answering the pearson survey i feel like okay i messed up and i know i failed. I go to my car and i dont even start my car and do backing i nod my head and pray. As i drive way back home im singing "god will make a way for seems to be no way" something like that i sont know the lyrics im sorry by the way im just humming the religious song and keep telling to myself its okay i can still retake it and passe it. (Ps: i used all my hours my whole 5 hours)

When got home my parents are not there and i eat cause im so hungry. I search in google if theres someone who passed by 198 and didnt find something, so i try to do the PVT and praised got I got the good pop up and even once not twice but thrice until now. I dont know if im dreaming when i saw the good pop up i just cry and cry im almost sobbing while jumping and i kneel and pray.

Til now i cant believe that i passed it, hope i inspire someone :)
