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 .
Some of you might have remembered that I was scheduled to take test on Dec 14th then Dec 21st then Dec 28th then January 18th. My ATT expiration date was Jan 21 and Jan 21 is holiday for MLK. If there was no expiration date I would have postponed again. NCLEX is so vast to nail everything. Anyway....I just wanted to let you guys know I just came back pearson testing center.
I took my NCLEX today, ya today!!! I dont know how it will turn out. I am super scared.
First time I took, I had about 180 or 190 questions or something like that in September. I took it today and the test ended about 110 or 111. Last time I looked at the question number was 109 and time left was 2 hr 25 mins. I was thinking to take a break and speed up if I have to sit for 265 but then after couple questions it shut off. I thought for a minute it was asking me break but it asked me to fill the survey.......
My heart is sore and aching....feel like I have post test stress angina..lol...I had 180 before....now 110...what does it really mean???? I hope I passed. I dont know if last question I got is right or wrong because it was a communication question. This time I felt I was able to throw two out and the problem always remaining with the two left. Last time I did not use elimination process. I chose based on what I felt was right.
Please pray for me as I definitely do not want to go for third round....monday is MLK Jr. day...will the quick result work on holidays. My state participate in quick results.
Special thanks to eliza for letting me use the kaplan. I think I was able to eliminate two answers right away because of Kaplan. May God Always Bless You Eliza!!! And May You Spread This Kind and Good Samiritan Service As A Nurse To Millions!!!
