Congratulations!

Re: Passed NCLEX-RN, first try

Thanks everyone..

I just gave back what He and this forum had given me. I pray for everyone who will take the exam. He never promised a smooth journey but it will be worthwhile in the end

God bless you guys!

Re: Passed NCLEX-RN, first try

I am finally scheduled to take the NCLEX June 2!

The Lord decided I should go to nursing school (long story, but very cool coincidence)
The Lord sent me to a specific school for prerequisites (despite my ego).
I got turned down for one program (my first choice), then accepted to another program - forcing me to go to a nursing school I didn't initially desire (but truly was the best for me and my circumstances looking back)
I prayed my way through studying and every test. He was with me always and now I have graduated from the program with a high enough GPA to earn Summa Cum Laude designation. I have not gotten a job yet, but I can see that God wanted to give me time to study and deal with a child with medical issues.

Now, I pray before my study sessions and will continue to pray. I do not believe the Lord would have brought me this far to see me fail. If I do fail...there has to be a reason and it will become apparent over time.

I am thankful to the Lord and all my fellow nurses who will work alongside me, helping to make this world kinder and gentler. Many thanks to others on this forum for helping me not be so nervous about this exam, accepting whatever the outcome may be.

May we all be successful, may the Lord continue to lift up nursing as a profession, and may we continue to provide loving/knowlegable care to our patients (whether they appreciate it or not).

Although you can read pms you can not send pms until you have 15 or more posts. We do ask that the posts are meaningful and useful to the site and not just a 'congratulations' to someone to boost post count. If we think posts have been made just to boost post count they will be deleted

-Anyoone up for random FACT THROWING??
-Filipino Nurses who passed the NCLEX without the help of Review Center

And I particularly like the threads started by NCLEX passers who shared their tips.
I guess it's my turn now

I took NCLEX last February 05, 2009 - Thursday. I am a foreign educated nurse so I have to go to another city to take it. I did not get enough sleep because we had to go somewhere the night before the exam. It was unavoidable so please don't follow my example. I also stopped studying two weeks before my exam because a friend of mine passed away and I have to go to the wake and was just not in the mood of studying.

So I was surprised and thankful when I stopped @ 75 and passed! I studied for less than three months and I have no review center. I just read the whole Saunders Compre book. I used Lippincott Q&A but only answered a few chapters. I finished the whole book of Prioritization, Delegation and Assignment by LaCharity. I also did KAPLAN STRAT book and CD. I also finished the question trainers from Kaplan. I answered a total of 4000-5000 questions. I rested on Sundays and holidays. I did not force myself to study if I am not feeling well. There were times when I would just spend half of the day swimming and then sleeping but afterwards, I would make sure that I accomplish something. I printed an organizer and wrote the chapters that I have to finish during that day. I also did Suzanne's first and second tips but added a few things that I have mentioned above. Her plan is so nice and practical. Highly recommended!

So.... what made me pass?
I don't think it was my effort, books, intelligence or strength. It was God who was guiding me during the review period and even during the exam. So I give Him all the glory and praise. I had no review center but Jesus was with me. I stopped studying two weeks before the exam yet His wisdom sustained me. I was not in perfect shape during the exam because of my lack of sleep yet He became my strength.

Bottomline? Trust the Lord and always acknowledge Him in everything you do. He will surely guide you. Be faithful too in your review 'coz it's your way of sowing the seeds for the Lord to multiply.

God bless everyone!

Thank you for writing this! What an awesome outlook...sometimes we just need to be reminded...I take my exam this Saturday, I have been feeling like I should put off my test, but I know thats just because Im scared because I dont know what to expect, but you just reminded me WHO I will have at my side!
