Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

Ok....On Jan 29, 2008, I failed my NCLEX-RN with 265 questions. I was soooo disappointed. I cried and cried, felt like a failure and was angry. I couldn't understand why I failed. I did well in school...I loved learning and would sometimes spend my freetime reading nursing books. Crazy I know. But still I failed. I personally believe in faith in God and my lord Jesus Christ but I didn't have faith in what I knew to be true. I was always doubting

whether God truly cared for me or whether he truly wanted the best for me. I always struggled with the person of God, I thought of him as mean and a worship hogger. I know this is really bad...but I was at a time in my life where I just didn't believe. "Eventhough I had seem God work amazing miracles. Well I say all of this just to fast foward to Monday March 31st. I had been studying with my test scores barley improving. Finally, I began to pray. Not only about the test but about my life. There are things in my heart that I needed to take to God. Well on the day of the test, I prayed in the bathroom at the center. I told Jesus that I am a woman of little faith...I doubt you and your love for me...I am sorry...but I really need for you to work on my behalf...Lord can the test shut off at 75 questions and I pass???? That was it. I sat down and took the test and to my surprise it shut off at 75 questions...and I passed!!!!!! I know this is a long post and many of you guys may not have the same view as me. However, I challenge you to trust God!! And know that All things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose!~Also, proverbs 16:1-9 A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps! You can do ALL things through Christ Jesus, who strengthens you!! Also, believe in yourself that you can do it!!!! You can....and don't compare yourself with others...you are unique....

Thank you Jesus!!!

By the way...first time I took Kaplan online complete, however I didn't finish the qbank...failed with 265

second time I passed with Kaplan answering all questions in qbank and using Saunder's comprehensive review!!

congrats. Hope to be posting that I passed also.

Congrats! We must never forget that all things are possible if you have faith and believe in him. Thanks for the inspiring story.

Thanks for your testimony! I too believe in Jesus Christ and my faith was surely wavering. I neer took the test but it seems like whenever I got ready to take the test something tragic happens. When I graduated in april of 06 I scheduled my to take the test and then my mother was diagnosed with Cancer.. So I had to devote all of my time to her..Taking care of her and make sure she was comfortable and of course my study time went out the door..She was my priority then not the test...She died that same year and it like part of me went with her. I was so depressed after she ided I didn't pick up a study book until like 6 months after ..So I finally got the nerve to start back studying and then my cousin died a week before I was to test...Ok So i was supposed to rescheduled my test but my time ran out and I found out I had to pay another $200 to test. So I didnt study and just let time pass basically doing nothing and really not motivated to do anything dealing with the NCLEX. By this time I'm to depressed to take this darn test. So much time has passed and I started doubting myself!! I'm like I have been out of school 2 years and havent tested. All of my friends have taken the test and passed and I'm still studying trying to get pass this obstacle..Ok so now im all hyped up to start studying I been reading some amazing success stories on this website and so now I'm motivated ...Ready to take the test paid my money to Pearson and had to reapply to Board of nursing because my application had expired...and guess what??????I just so happen to be in a tax office with a freind filing her income tax and some guys decided to come and rob the owner!! so now I was involved in an attempted robbery and yes I was an innocent bystander who got shot in the leg while trying to take cover!! I'm like God why me?? WHAT IS IT?? So I had to reschedule my test AGAIN..because I been going thru suregery and physical rehab! I just don't understand why all of this is happening to me...I was so ready to give up! I have never been one to doubt God until all of these trials startewd hitting me at one time..I know I shouldnt dount Him but its so hard to just believe when all I see is one big mess in front of me!!! God is good and I thank him for letting you write that post...I needed to hear that..because right now I have suh little Faith!! I'm currently doing suzannes plan and I will be testing in May. Thanks again for your story!

Sad to hear about your story..and im hoping and praying for you that you will soon all surpass this trials that he has given you..please dont lose hope and always keep believing in yourself and most of all to GOD..We all experience how God test our Faith on him..Everything happens for a reason and that you we dont realize it until time passes..Keep praying...you'll do fine...:saint:

Hey Deliciouscandii,

What an empowering testimony. All I can say is wow...and I thought I was going through...I am sorry for your losses and I know words can't express your pain and desperation. You know, things happen in this world that we can't explain and we question God...like why, why me, why do I have to go through this, what did I do...However I think that God is trying to get us to trust him no matter what the situation looks like! Remember ezekiel's valley of the dry bones? The Lord asked him what does he see and he said dry bones, but the Lord told him to prophesy to the dry bones and the bones began to come together and formed an army (This is paraphrased, so look it up if you can). Now, I don't know if this is figuratively speaking or actual events...I'm not trying to figure it out. What I do know is that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen Heb 11:1. Also, God wants us to the place that no matter what happens whether I pass or fail, death or life, rich or poor I am still going to trust God. You know it's funny because I made up in my mind that I was still going to praise God despite the results. You know why? Because God is God. What can I say. So I encourage you to remember Job, remember what happened to him, and remember how God blessed him after all the heartache and pain. Don't faint...Do not get weary in welldoing. My heart goes out to you and I will be praying for you!!!!!:redbeathe:redbeathe:redbeathe:redbeathe:redbeathe

deliciouscandii,

We may not be able to truly understand why certain things happen in our lives, but believe that God loves you and that He will never leave you no matter what the circumstances are, He will always be there for you. Just lift up everything to Him...all your fears and all your doubts...release everything in His hands. Sending prayers your way...God bless you always and especially on May. You will pass...just believe. :icon_hug:

You are an amazing and strong person! Don't doubt God, he wouldn't put you in any situations that he didn't think you could handle, no matter how tough they may seem. He will bring you through this, name it and claim it. I didn't pass my exam the 1st time failed in 80 questions. I wantd to doubt God but I didn't, I knew he had other plans for me. I knew that there was a reason for it. I prayed, prayed, and prayed! I studied, studied, and studied. I took my exam again yesterday and had 75 questions, it was hard, but I don't doubt God one bit, I could feel him there with me yesterday. It's so hard to figure out why things happen the way they do. But I do know that we must trust God. You WILL pass your exam, stay strong! I believe in you. If you need anything, PM me. :heartbeat

Everything you said goes along with that book "The Secret". I discovered it right before I took my Hesi exit exam. I am not a good test taker, but I read that book (that verse is in it) and I not only passed but I scored in the top 10! Everyone needs to scan this book! Just like you said, I believed and I achieved!:nurse:

Thanks for the testimonies. I can just in time for me. When you think you are going through something and hear about somebody else struggles your problems are nothing. I understand what you have experienced. I have taken the NCLEX several times and not passed. God knows there were somethings I had to change in my life first so that I could concentrate on GOD and the break through I know thats coming my way. I had too many things on my plate and there was no room for God's blessings. Now that I have cleaned house I am ready for the overflow of blessings that was promised to me. I too was struggling with whether God was hearing my cry and seeing my tears. He has given me a peace and allowed me to get out a unhealthy situation and now I am waitng patiently on him. I got my ATT to retest again and I will test end of this month of 8th of May. Please keep me in your prayers. I know that Jesus and fix it.
