Just a short story of my experience w/ nursing school and NCLEX-PN....I actually graduated from my SON back in Aug. 05....Due to board issues I was not able to test right away like my other classmates...I did'nt get my ATT until May 06 (You can imagine how I felt). I had actually given-up on my nursing career, and got a job at an insurance company(cannot disclose name, b/c their huge)....When I finally got my ATT, I had not studied since I had been out-of-school, I'm a single Mom w/ mortgage + Bills, so it was very difficult to study during that time period...I actually contacted a tutor XXXXXX, and she along with NCSBN + Saunder's helped me get prepared for my exam. I started studying in mid-June, and had to schedule my exam on July 25th, b/c my final day to take the NCLEX was on July 30th, or else I would forfeit the $200.00 fee....So I felt so pressed for time + I still had to work full-time....I managed to work from 11:00am - 8:00 pm, and after work i would study at work until 10:30 pm -11:00pm most nights....I just thought I would try, even if I did'nt pass the exam, at least I could say I tried. I asked GOD everyday to give me the knowledge and strength to make it thorugh my days of study and work, because some days I felt like giving-up.....I did'nt have enough confidence in myself, but my tutor kept motivating me, and she believed I would pass, even though I did'nt... All I did was ask GOD to give me victory over this exam, because I wanted to be able to share my experience w/ others that seem to be down and out about nursing school and especially NCLEX....I took the exam on July 25th, and found out today that I PASSED....My dream of being nurse has come true...Now I can go back to school and become an RN in Jesus's name....Because he has a plan for everyone no matter what the situation is....He knows the desires of your heart Please don't give-up on your dreams, because if you don't pass, there's a reason, but GOD knows when the time is right for everyone and always pray for strength because he hears every word.....:caduceus:
