Be encourage on NCLEX

Published

hello, those who are preparing for the NCLEX, Pray for wisdom so that all your studying will not be in vein, study, study,study, but also pace yourself allow your brain to soak the info without an anxiety attack, stay positive at all times, delete the negative people in your life, read these post on this site, it's very helpful to know that you are not along. Yes God is good he knows your weakness ask for strenght and you shall receive it, but you have to beleive in what you are praying for. God help those who help themselves so study, seek and ye shall find,Never let anyone take your JOY you can do this. I have been out of nursing school for 11 years I failed then and just gave up I decided to start studying in April2008 and I passed 2 weeks ago. I hope that this can be an encourgement to someone. I now have learned so much more, staying focus on the prize, eliminating negative people in my life, and concentrating on making a better life for my family,and to continue to pray through good times and BAD times like this NCLEX, I wish you all well:wink2:

I am taking my NCLEX-RN for the 5th time next week...imagine that?! my self-esteem is really down right now. I kept asking myself if maybe Nursing is not for me, and how many times more should I take it?...i'd been a nurse for over 14 years now, I'd been a Charge Nurse in Europe, and very much experienced. i enrolled in Kaplan, bought a lot of books, but still I coudn't make it. i feel so stupid most of the time... I always read NCLEX discussion on this site, which somehow helps me a lot. I have a very supportive 11 year old boy... but a very over controlling husband, who I sometimes don't understand..like he's putting me down...so, how do i get rid of the negative people around me?...it's just hard. Sometimes I feel like I wanna quit and leave everything that i have right now. i just don't know what to do anymore....

First, let me say thank you for posting this thread. I took the Nclex on friday and have been sick to my stomach ever since. I tried to be calm but when I got into the testing facility I just froze. It took me 12 years to figure out what god wanted me to do with my life and I feel as though I not only failed my family, but him as well. I told my husband that if I failed I was not going to try again, but you have made me rethink my position.

Thank You:redpinkhe

I am taking my Nclex 2nd time in October. I feel the same way, embarrassed and do not want to take it again. My daughters are very supportive. I prayed and prayed and told myself that I am not stupid. I just got different questions than my classmates. I reactivate my Kaplan and answers the tests and listen to Review of the contents and Review of the answer which I did not bother before. If only I listen to the review of the contents I could have passed the Nclex. All my scores were above passing except 1 that is near passing. If I can do it, you can do it, do'nt be hard on yourself. Believe on yourself and think of the people that you can help after taking this test. English is my second language and this is the part that I am having a problem. Its ok look at your notes while taking the Kaplan Test. I learn that way more. God Bless you.

Be encourage! You are smart and I'm sure a great nurse, for 14yrs wow thats a long time so apparently you have knowledge and skills, you just have to apply to the written test, which seem unfair. NEVER GIVE on yourself and 11 yr old son. If your husband can't be supportive , thats his down fall, he have a wonderful smart wife who is trying very hard to make life more comfortable for everyone in the home. My advice tune him out make time to study where it is quiet. Think positive there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You have to ignore negative people they love misery. Don't let no one steal your joy of nursing! You are not a quiter you are Winner so stay positive, you can do it, pray on it and claim it, and it shall be yours! God Bless you,upcoming RN!:nurse::nurse::nurse::nurse::nurse::nurse:

Just picture yourself as one.
