Re: Passed NCLEX-RN after 4 times!!!! YAY!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!! i'm so happy for you!

well all i can say is that the NCLEX experience was okay but i wouldn't assume it to be the same thing for everyone, since it is a CAT system. i am not a very good test taker myself and i have been getting low Kaplan scores and i felt depressed myself. but i was beyond blessed and passed it the first time at 75.

also i want to add, to not let others make you feel down. i just realized some here can give you "inappropriate" responses, and that it is not necessarily what they could have said. they could have made things lighter for people by being "honest" but not torturing others because of their "honesty." i even read on on of the threads about someone getting a 99% on one of the trainers, and her response to many (on different threads) was almost always awkward. i remember even getting almost-rude responses (they ARE rude but they just like to add cherries on top), and when i would honestly search for their posts, i would end up finding out that they have not even taken the test, or have taken NCLEX-RN 3 times, or haven't even graduated at all. i mean how could this people even give you "no-so-great" responses about something you only want to learn about? sorry for this but in my opinion, know-it-alls don't belong in forums.

so to those who are just taking the big one, it's okay to feel down but always use it as your strength. don't think about others, think about yourself only and who you are doing the NCLEX for. gooduck to everyone! =)

Congrats RN !! That is great that you never gave up. I have take the NCLEX-RN 5 times and have been putting off taking it for the 6th time because I just don't want to fail! Do you have any advice for me?
Congrats again!!!

Re: Passed NCLEX-RN after 4 times!!!! YAY!!!

My advise to those who aren't passing is to KEEP ON KEEPIN' ON!!! Never quit! We all worked WAY too hard in LVN or RN school to not continue trying. I never thought I would pass...but my 4th time was my pass time! No matter if you have taken the test 1 time or 8 times...DONT GIVE UP!! The 4th time I had to study, I went into it with a completely different attitude. I told myself that THIS was the time I would pass. I kept my head held high...studied my booty off and went into the test telling myself that I would leave the test an RN. Although I did study material very hard...my attitude helped me pass 100%! Pray (if that is your belief) and trust that God will guide you through this. Another thing I prayed for was that God would alleviate ALL of my fears and anxiety. My anxiety stood in the way of me passing before and I was not about to let it do that again. As I type this I am looking at the wall in front of me which has my framed RN certificate in it. What a blessing! Those of you who have not succeeded before...please please PLEASE dont give up!! If it is HIS will...it will be done!

Lindsey, RN
