Well, Friday is my big day! I took the test back in August and didn't pass. I was beyond devistated! I had just graduated with my bachelors, in sigma theta tau (nursing honors), and have never failed a test until now! How can this happen? I literally could not look at anything nursing and got very upset when anyone mentioned it to me. Since I had taken 3 months off to study, I found myself with no money. I couldn't get a hospital job because I knew I was going to move in the next few months and it would be a hassle. So....I became a server!! Talk about humiliating! I had a 4 year college degree and I am waiting tables all because of one stupid test! After about 4 months of that, I found myself really straying from nursing and quit. I knew this was the time more than ever to get back in the game. I was at the lowest part of my life and felt I needed to make a change. From my serving, I had saved up enough for the kaplan course. I did the week long course, did the lectures online for 4-6 hours a day to get though the book, and then moved onto questions. I did about 1-2 question trainers a week with my scores ranging from 57-64 (with 64 being my last test grade)!! I also highly recommend qbank! I just finished all of the questions today and feel really good. There are roughly 1200 questions but I highly recommend doing them. I learned things I never knew before and read every rationale. For everyone I got wrong, I wrote them in a notebook and read them nightly before I went to bed. So, here I am now. I am DONE with studying and I take my test Friday. I pray very badly that this is going to be great and I pass with flying colors. Please pray for me and give me support.:bowingpur I am putting the books away and having a nice day tomorrow to relax! I pray that each and every one of you becomes a great nurse and that we ALL pass this stupid test called the NCLEX:redbeathe
