After 7yrs, 75questions and 10th Attempt

Published

I finally pass and all the Glory goes to God and Him alone. I always knew I had what it takes to be an RN, but I would panic, freak out, and not apply myself to the fullest as I did this time. I studied the Saunders RN 5th edition 2 times, went through the Priortization,Delegation, Assignment book 3 times and I did all the questions on the NCLEX RN 4000, and got a complete understanding of the concepts. And lastly but most important of them all, I had faith in God to take me through. Now for some this is overboard, but for me this is what it took and I also had a fabulous RN Refresher Course. My test stopped at 75 questions and I walked out of the test center totally in crocodile tears all the way home with my husband driving with no sound heard except my sniffing. Took the exam Nov. 19, 2011 and Monday checked the Florida Board of Nursing and my name was not their, I automatically assumed I had failed. Check back Tuesday my name not thier and now I really knew it was over, until Friday afternood I received my license in the mail and all I Know is that God gave me my heart desire.

I don't think God was 100% responsible--give yourself credit too :) You worked hard and perservered when it was tough and when you failed over and over...I don't think I could have hung in for 10 tries. The fact that you did says a lot about you.

Congratulations!

Congradulations. I'm so proud of you. It just goes to show if you you want something bad enough and are willing to go to any lengths to get it nothing can stop you. Never forget what you went through to get it and never let go of HIS HAND.
