]I found out I passed last March 2, 2009 :nurse:

]My story is pretty long , I just want to vent how I felt to finally it's all over! :heartbeat

] It was really a funny story

It was my friend who found out my license number was already posted on the CA BRN website

That day, I almost forgot it was the 72hour after I took the test.

]Til now I kept laughing that it was her who first found out that I passed. Silly me :rolleyes:

] It's my third time to take the nlcex-rn. :typing

The past two exam, some of you might know and might have read that I've got the maximum of 265 questions. And in both test, I've got all the near passing standard written on the result.

It left me hanging on the cliff, not only for my confuse state on how am I suppose to start my study all over again since I had no idea which is my weakest, but on the pressure that I had on those times too.

All this time, the test is like one of the most challenging thing for me.

I had this doubt within myself and the ability that I could overcome such thing.

But truly, God is so great!

I could be honest it's really tough and painful.

That in your mind all you want is to passed the test.

I've been going for some depression..really for the two time I knew that I failed.

sometimes people who are close to you could be the one who could hurt you.

But thanks for those people who really cared and let me to stand up again. The ones who encourage and help me out through those inevitable times.

I was like finally! Through all the painful memories I had to endure! The work that I had, the conflict within my family. It was really a great feeling! I'm so happy! :)

I never regret that I took this long to passed the test.

If it never happened, I could not have learn something. I could have not been strong as I am now.

]I could say any review material could work for anyone.

Just make sure you do study the content, after you have a good background understanding

Answer and review rationale as many as you can digest.

This time, I didn't review the content. For the reason that base on the result of my past exams, I'm on the verge knowing the content but having difficulty stepping on to analyzing.

I enrolled myself on Kaplan with class and access to question trainers and qbank.

In our diagnostic test, I didn't review any of it. I just went there and took the test.

It was like 7 months since the last time I read a nursing book.

I got the same result that I had on my two past exams.

So I had to go beyond the knowledge and critically apply.

I practice everyday the questions thinking I'm on the testing area.

I practice answering questions that I don't know about since that's what they give you on the exam itself. That's how you feel. Thinking you're not familiar with all the questions!

I even woke up early (since I was scheduled for 8:00am) each day for two weeks.

Exercise a little, take a bath, had breakfast, and most importantly pray before I answer questions.

In short, my test day was like my ordinary day.

I pray for confidence and prepared to take the whole maximum questions again. I even brought foods for break time with energy drinks.

Then I stopped at 75, which I was so amazed and I can't help but to laugh after I went out of the testing area.

I called my sister, and she screamed knowing that in her heart that I passed.

I was laughing and shocked at the same time knowing that when you stopped at 75 there's only two possible reasons--

--either you fail, cause you bombed the test big time! or you passed and you've got enough questions to prove you're a safe nurse.

I still have tons of priority and delegations. I even had two calculations which is pretty hard conversion. And four meds which two of them i'm not familiar with.

with the help of other people I kept myself positive and believe of the confidence God gave me that day.

Thinking if someone could pass, why not me?

And now that I had the RN to take with me everywhere, it came to me this is the start of the reality.

I just want to say thank you for those who were here to help out. :yeah:
