I don't post on here often, however I am on here a lot reading other's post. I wanted to share my story as well...

I graduated my LPN program December 18, 2014. My program didn't except Fasfa, so I had to pay out of pocket and find other funding. I Live in Michigan and we have a work program that help you to find jobs and they will help pay for schooling for those that qualify. Needless to say I was one of those who qualified. Upon graduating I had a 2500 dollar balance on my tuition which had to be paid before the school would release my affidavit to the state. This balance was to be paid by the work program. Well the work program would set a date that the balance would be paid by and when the date arrived there was always a problem or delay, This happened until December 2015! Exactly a year after graduating the program!!! All of my classmates were passing their exams and working and here I was a year later still waiting for my balance to be paid. Well by the will of God the program finally released the funds to my school and they sent my affidavit. I sent in my application and in January 2016 I was finally made eligible to test and scheduled my test for February 18, 2016. Now to the testing part. When I scheduled my test I had three weeks to study. Prior to this I had been studying off and on for the whole year. My resource of choice was Saunders Nclex-PN review. In the three weeks before the exam I did about 1500 questions and prayed for God to guide me everyday. The day before the exam I did not study at all. The night before and the morning of I was a nervous wreck. I couldn't sleep and the morning I vomited. On the dive there I listened to gospel music. During the test I was so scared because some of the material I had never seen. I stopped and prayed to God throughout the whole test. Two hours in my eyes began to get sore from staring at the computer screen. I took the scheduled break and just sat in the lobby with my eyes closed to rest them and to pray again. Oh yea when I reached 85 questions and it didn't shut off I was even more nervous but I told myself ok if I'm doing bad I'm not doing horribly bad that it shuts off at the minimum questions. at about 150 I'm like ok Terra the computer cant tell but the question are still coming so I still have a chance. Once again I stopped to pray. I finished my test with 205 questions and 8 mins left. leaving the test I was so sad because I really wasn't sure how I did. I prayed throughout the day and my family tried to keep me up lifted. I didn't sleep well that night. The next morning I took my son to school came home and checked the state board of Licensing and there it was!!!!! My licenses had posted!!!! and posted the day after I took my test!!!! I AM OFFICIAL A NURSE!!!! IT WAS NOTHING BUT THE GRACE OF GOD!!!!

On my test I had mostly patient teaching, A lot of meds, about 5 calculations, and a lot of priority questions. And I passed on the first try.

Congratulations

Congrats on a job well done.
