Ran out of time at 241 + passed! Pls read - encouragement for repeaters

Students NCLEX

Published

Hello everyone, before I start my story I just want to say that God is the one who made me pass, all the glory to Him. Ok here we go it will be long but pls read.......I graduated Dec 2013, I took my NCLEX the first time Feb 4 2014 then found out I failed at 75 questions, I did not study at all I was overconfident because I heard my classmate passed first try, I was devastated.

I was an average student but I knew my stuff, I picked myself up, my boyfriend encouraged me to study harder and retake it, I had personal stuff going on and mind you I was working full time 7 days a week as an LVN, I went through so much that I had to postpone my exam.....after all was settled meaning my personal stuff I rescheduled to retake Dec 11th 2014. This time I had studied really good took so many questions to prep....retook failed at 184 questions but I made a mistake I did not take a day off and I did not take a break huge mistake.

I was sad picked myself up and told myself I passed nursing school I can do this. I started studying end of Feb 2015 I used the same stuff but added Saunders flashcards and NSCBN. I would wake up at 6am or 5am to study before I go to work I used the CPR to look at my weak areas, I did study but not as much as the second time. I schedule to take my exam April 29 at 8 am now.

HERE IS WHERE THE MIRACLE HAPPENS, I HAD 241 QUESTIONS RAN OUT OF TIME DID NOT TAKE NO BREAK, TOOK A DAY OFF ANSWERED THE QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE AS I DID THE QUESTIONS I WAS SAYING HOLY SPIRT TAKE CONTROL. A PART OF ME WAS LIKE I THINK I FAILED I HAD ALREADY STARTED PLANNING HOW I WILL START STUDYING, I DID NOT WANT TO PAY QUICK RESULT BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO WASTE MY MONEY IF I FAILED....I GATHERED COURAGE AND DID THE QUICK RESULT @4.30 PM TODAY FOUND OUT I PASSED.
