So, I finally feel I should not give up......I will be a retaker for 2nd time in December. I felt so low when I failed the test in July'07. I was thinking to take in october but just couldnt get motivated to study. In the meantime, I joined RN-BSN program. So, currently I am in school taking 15 credits of classes. I need to have my RN license before winter so I can do practical in communnity health, a required class for BSN.
After visiting this site almost everyday, reading success stories and encouragement given by one of my wonderful instructor from my ASN program, I am motivated to do it.
So, newcomers as well as retakers, Lets get together, support each other and lets pass the RN test. WE CAN DO IT.
For now, I have started practicing Q&A at least 2 hrs/day from Saunders CD. I will keep you updating and hope you all will share the tips as well.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF US. :welcome: TO THE SUPPORT GROUP .
Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.
thanks, so i have gotten suzannes plan recently. i have one more question........so i have been using saunders for my prep since september and i have been practicing question but do i need to redo the questions again because suzanne says follow exactly as according to her plan???
you need to follow exactly as her plan is written and if that means going over questions again then no harm in doing it :)
There are only four students taking test in december........LOL
Me, TOO!!! I just didn't want to jinx myself by revealing the date since I'm not even sure I'll be ready. But, I've been reading along finding the support and encouragement I need.
It's been 8 long years since I've tested! I have been studying since June but somedays it's hard to find that extra push. I study and study but feel like I'm getting nowhere. I read ALL of the Saunder's book and currently working on the CD. I just finished the 5 wk NCSBN course where I scored in the 60-70% range. Not too great, I guess. But, I haven't spent the last 6 months buried in the books to not go through with this!
I plan to take my exam in december too. Just like lvlytxn, I really don't want to reveal my date yet, but looking towards 1st or 2nd week in december. My original date was november 19th, but cancel that date. I did kaplan before, but it did not work for me. Now I am doing question on saunders cd, using study mode. I am using kaplan qbank and video which i have gone over and over again, but my kaplan membership will expire on the 15th of november long before i test. I love saunders very much and i use it more, and kaplan their questions, as it is more similar to the real exam.
The november group has being doing good so far and i love their motivating spirit. I read their thread everyday to get motivated. I pray that December group will do good too and pass the exam.
I did not pass but I have not given up. I am broken, but I'm here. I know that God did not bring me this far to leave me. I will take the test as many times as possible to pass. I will most probably take it again in December after the holidays of the first of the year. I have not decided yet. I started studying about week after I failed. I was numb and could not do anything but I have snapped out of it and I am back on the studying track.
