I told myself that when I passed this examination, I would write about my experience to help other students going through the same situation. These blogs really helped my self confidence through my journey. FINALLY, on my 6th attempt, I have passed the NCLEX-RN examination. IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!! Praise the Lord!!! After a year and 7 months of studying, anything is possible if you declare it, in Jesus Name. PLEASE NEVER LOSE HOPE AND FAITH. :)
I have used every study source you can think of. Starting off with Hurst, Kaplan, Saunders, and La Charity Book. Throughout my journey, I always used the Hurst Videos. I couldn't get enough of them. On my 6th attempt, I decided to try something different. When I graduated, our school made us purchase Virtual-ATI. I was so fed up with ATI when I graduated that I wanted nothing to do with it. After my 5th attempt, my nursing friend told me to go back to ATI, to my "fundamentals". I contacted ATI to see if I could re-activate my Virtual-ATI since I had never used it. I had purchased it before the new policy and it was free of charge to re-activate. I was so happy and excited. I studied for 3 months using Virtual-ATI. I studied about 6-7 hours a day, not including breaks. WOW!!! I had fallen in love with ATI on another level. Never did I imagine I would enjoy it so much. Alongside ATI, I did use the Hurst Videos and a Lippincott Alternative Question Book I found on Amazon. I highly recommend that book!!! When I went back to take my examination, I was very nervous! I tried to remain as positive as possible and just take one question at a time. ATI really helped me get back into the root of Nursing School and it worked!!! I passed!!!!! If I can do it, so can you!!!! Please don't give up on your dreams. Hard work truly pays off. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND VIRTUAL-ATI. I LOVED IT.
If you are having trouble believing in yourself, listen to this audio book. "Law of Attraction" by Michael J. Losier. I used this method throughout my exam and it really helped. BUT most importantly, pray to God. I prayed everyday and went to church as much as could. I even did a retreat a month before. Whatever helps your self-esteem, do it. I hope my little blog can help anyone who is going through the same situation. I will pray for those who need to pass their NCLEX-RN. NOW GO GET THAT RN License!!!! :) God bless you all!
Never give up! It's only over when you say it is. You graduated Nursing School, you are in the process of becoming a registered nurse and you will be successful. I will definitely pray for you all.
CONGRATULATIONS ON PASSING! I'm currently studying for my 5th attempt of RN NCLEX! I'll be testing on Oct. 26..
First of all to the OP, congrats :) I am sure that is a huge weight off your shoulders! And to this poster am I reading this right? I am just curious as to why you are testing two months out from now. I test for the first time Sept 28th.
I will definitely pray for you all.
