Re: Nclex second time around. My take on it.

25 SATAs?? ohmy.. i've never heard of anyone had that many satas ever! cheers to you, and congratulations in a few days you will be an RN. i'm envious i'm still just reviewing for the exam at the moment and i don't know if i should be thankful if i were the one bombarded with many satas.hehe

but anyway goodluck! and God bless.

Re: Nclex second time around. My take on it.

Daliafairy- I'm wishing you all the luck in the world! At least the worst is over - like you said have fun with friends to pass the waiting time and just prepare yourself that if you didn't pass we're blessed to be able to take it again! I'm trying to look at it this way - many have gone before us and many have passed and we will too! There are a lot of graduate nurses out there that struggled just as we are and have perservered (spelling?? )
Praying that on Thursday we are rejoicing with you and you are able to inspire others to press on! God Bless

Re: Nclex second time around. My take on it.

very inspiring that's for recommending review materials btw anyone here know what are the other requirements for the reapply/retake of NCLEX-RN in CA except for Request Retake Application and Nursing Program Verification???

Re: Nclex second time around. My take on it.

I'm definitely new to some of the terms- when you reference "sata" questions, what does that mean? I've just taken my NCLEX for the 2nd time and don't feel too sure of myself, more sure than the 1st time, but not altogether reassured of passing.

My larger fear is that in this state, I believe I only have 3 chances, then have to repeat some schooling to be eligible again. Really sucks. Congrats to all of you that have succeeded.

Re: Nclex second time around. My take on it.

hi missy73! SATA means Select All That Applies where you have multiple answers to a given question.. By the way, what form or forms did you send them when you reapplied?.. did you send the nursing program verification too?

Re: Nclex second time around. My take on it.

second time around did not go so well...don't know what else need to be done...graduated from a nursing program where everyone has passed with flying colors...i'm the black sheep...im not working so should i work to get better at nclex? i'm so depressed...feel like giving up.

Re: Nclex second time around. My take on it.

For the 2nd time, all I had to do was wait the 45 days to request an ATT from Pearsonvue. My state's dept of health website says something about being able to test 3 times and I think I read somewhere else about after the 3rd time needing additional education. Hopefully I won't have to go that far...

Re: Nclex second time around. My take on it.

Hey daliafairy26: any good news? WOW 265 questions in 6 hours! As I was taking my test the 2nd time, I really spent a lot more time on each questions. I took 4 hours and only 120-130 questions. I was trying to not look at what # I was on each time, only increases the anxiety. I also don't know how anyone keeps track of the # of SATA, math, drag-n-drop etc type questions... I was nervous each time just pressing 'NEXT'...

Re: Nclex second time around. My take on it.

Hey Missy73 when did u take ur exam??? how was it???

Re: Nclex second time around. My take on it.

Well i took it monday the 11th at 8am and i was expecting to see my name like almost the 95% of my friends after 2-3 days! no name yet on the website! I have lost my hope 99% but that 1% stills strong because i keep thinking somebody will call me to tell me they saw my name or to congratula me but still nothing! I know i should wait until i get the letter! that feeling it's way to ugly! this is my 2nd time trying to pass it! I'm working as a CNA after I lost my 1st IP when i failed the 1st time around! I was a CNA before for 3 yrs but know doing it feels wrong! i was the RN and now I am once again the CNA! i was all the time thinking to keep me strong! Dalia this is just temporary! u r working every day hard to change your situation! i had that oportunity May the 11th and i think i screwed it again! my name doesn't show up and I am losing all the hopes and good thoughts! This experience has been the worst one ever! I can not believe I havent had a heart attack or something worst than that! I will stay as positive as i can! I am praying on 16 different languages to make stronger and more powerful my words towards God! I know he was right there with me when i was taking the test! Good luck everyone! let's stay strong and support each other! I know God has plans for each of us! I can not figure it out mine but i will accept what he has designed for me...
