Good things come to those who wait, right?

Published

Hi all! I'm new to posting on here, but I am constantly reading others post, and enjoying reading all the helpful feedback. Therefore, I'm hoping I'll get the same.

I will be taking the NCLEX for the second time in a little over a week. Lets just say failing the NCLEX was my worst fear, and I felt like the world was crashing down. I was your typical good student, got through college raising a 2 year old, and always strived to stay ahead.

Then came NCLEX.... my first be "F" in I don't know how long..:confused:

I have up'ed my studying to the max. With the limited time I have with a toddler, I'm studying. I go to the library. I've does probably 5000+ questions. I am attempting to get this the second time, and even aiming for 75 questions. I have faith, but what if I don't pass again? I know there's always a 3rd time, but I don't even want it to come to that.

I have been telling myself that God just wanted me to have the summer to spend with my family without knowing that I have to go back to school in September. Also, as in the title, "Good things come to those who wait" Well I'm waiting VERY patiently. :lol2:

Any words of encouragement will be greatly appreciated!!! Also, if anyone has any helpful study points that they just want to remind me to remember, that would be amazing!!! I'm gonna need all the help and support I can get!! :redbeathe

Amen!

Also I would AIM to 265, what I did, is towards the last week I was taking 265 questions "my just in case - endurance bootcamp" so I could get used to the hike, every 15 questions I took a 15 second break closed my eyes and stretched (learned it in test taking and success class, its called your questions threshold, and you can find your number when you analyze a test that you have taken, and look at a pattern, of when you start getting them wrong, and to me was around the 15th or so I would miss a couple. )

so when it finished at 75 I was... surprised I guess? (I wanted 75 but planned for 265!)

Thanks for the advice, I think I might just do that... it seems like when your studying your doing so many questions, but I should definitely sit down and do 265 a couple of time before the test! Thanks!:)
