Don't give up!

Published

Thought I would post a little motivation story. Here it goes!

I graduated in May 2013. I tried pretty much every review and book for the nclex rn out there. I ended up taking the nclex rn 6 times. I thought I was never going to make it. After each time I failed I kept telling myself I give up I'm not going to take it. I resorted to reading forums about people passing after taking it multiple times and it gave me hope. Sometimes I even read about some people being negative saying if you didn't pass after the first few times maybe you should give up. Seeing stuff like that made me feel like crap. I recently became an RN so I'm writing this post in hopes that people who have not succeeded yet never give up. If it is meant to be it will happen. Don't ever let anything negative put you down. It took me 6 tries but I made it and so can you!

Congrats!!

The most successful people are people who failed, did not give up, and continued to try until they conquered their failure.

You are my hero!

Congrats to you! I was in the same boat until recently when I found out I passed. The only number that counts is the number of times you passed, not failed! :yes:

I will be praying for you. I truly hope you pass. I know it is not easy picking up that book and studying again after failing. But, God will give us the strength to endure. It happened to others and it will happen to us too. We will pass our NCLEX exam.Remember, the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong but to those who endures to the end. Endure! Endure! Endure!

This time I went back to all my old books. At this point I didn't remember any questions so it was like doing everything all over again. However, I only did the comprehensive exams in these books. (Mosbys, Kaplan, Lippincott Alternative Form Qs and Saunders.) I also went online and did questions from Nurses 3500, Allnurses.com and questions from the facebook group NCLEX. I did about 150 questions a day. Two days before the exam I went back to my hurst notes and reread everything over ONCE. The day before I did absolutely NOTHING but sleep! Trust me it is beneficial to not do anything the day before. The day of the exam I went over lab values once. I also PRAYED A LOT!!!

You can do it!! Have faith in yourself and best of luck studying.
