almost gave up, but taking another shot

i have taken NCLEX twice and failed. first time i did NSCBN and Exam Cram which i thoguht it helped me a lot, well apparently not. i did get the result and "oh how horrible it was" so i reregister again and this time i did saunders and hurst which i liked, after watching videos in hurst i did practice questions in saunders. i was actually doing pretty good in my practice exams, and yes 100 questions qday. i was getting 80s most of the time on my practice test. so after 45 days of practicing i thought i am well prepared for this exam so I rescheduled it knowing i was ready for NCLEX for the second time, but then here we go again, another devastating result i got from our mailbox.. i was really down, felt dumb, shocked, stunned, and almost gave up with my dream career and said to my self "maybe Nursing is not for me". its been 2 months now since that last time i took NCLEX. two weeks ago i had a wondeful dream, it was me celebrating for passing the NCLEX, woke up and said to my self "hmm, that would be nice" and went back to sleep. it didnt stop there, following night i had another dream, this time i was working as a floor nurse at the nursing home where i am currently working as a nursing assistant, woke up and this time i didnt went back to sleep, i gathered all my reviewer, got motivated and also with the help my girlfriend and family who are always saying "keep trying". on the same week i decided to reregister again, yay!!. got my ATT and registrer my exam this coming august 10. i purchased Kaplan Self Pace review and been doing that review everyday 4-6 hours average of non stop studying/ answering questions, and honestly its like going back to 0 "i forget a lot of things already"..errr!!.. but yea ive been doing 85 question in the qbank, and oh boy!, the questions are harder compared to saunders or exam cram or hurst and its kinda similar to the actual exam. but for the result, ive been getting 65% above. the highest i got so far was this morning, i got 74% ahah. i also made a calendar so i can schedule what content/topic i should follow, and so far im doing pretty good with the schedule. "Pharmacology Tomorrow" which i set a schedule for 5 days just for pharmacology..i called its a pharm day today but yea i hope kaplan will help me pass NCLEX exam and be a Nurse soon.

Keep studying hard and answering questions. Any questions you don't know, remediate and look up the disease or condition. YouTube videos on the diseases help a lot. Believe in yourself.

Kuddos for not giving up. many of us are in the fight together and we will win. Remember, the race is not for the swift nor the battle to the strong. But to those that endures to the end. Studying is enduring!
