I just found out this morning that I finally passed the NCLEX!!!!!! So, to all of you who are preparing to take the test and to those of you who have been unsuccessful in passing, I want you all to first trust in God, have confidence in yourself and know that you didn't go to school and spend endless hours of studying for nothing. For what I have come to realize is that, we defeat ourselves when it comes to the NCLEX. We become nervous, crazy, forgetful, anxious etc. And believe me, I have been there too. I studied all the time the first two times I took the NCLEX, barely having a chance to enjoy friends and life, etc. Preparing for the third time, I didn't drill myself as hard because I start believing that I had the knowledge to answer the questions and pass. I just needed to remain calm and have confidence in myself.I took the NCLEX three times and on the third try, I had more confidence in myself than I did any other time I took the test. I went in with a positive attitude and confidence in myself and believing that my higher being would help me through it without a doubt. So, after 114 questions, 1 SATA, 2 Calulations and alot of priority, I passed. Thank all of you for your inspiring stories, prayers, and encouraging words. Also, Thanks to Suzanne for a wonderful plan! I will continue to pray for those who are still embarking this journey and I am willing to help in anyway that I can. Please, never give up on your dream of becoming a nurse if that is truly want you want to do, the road isn't always easy, but with perserverance you can do it! Keep pushing and hold your head up, and you will become that RN.
