Hi everyone! This was my 4th time to take the RN test and I passed it finally!!:yeah:I answered 75 questions, took about 2 hours, 4 select all that apply, one calculation, and alot of priority questions such as who to see first, and infection control. I took Kaplan along time ago but I failed twice. I finally used Saunder's and purchased Kaplan Qbank. For me, those two materials helped me pass this time. I recommend using Saunder's book, do about 3500 questions on the cd, and get kaplan qbank (I know it's expensive but it's worth it!). And finally, keep praying...Don't ever give up because God IS always watching us and his plan is greater than ours. To those who have failed their tests, please don't give up because your time will come!No matter how many times you take it, just continue to study, spend your time wisely, and do as many questions as you can. I think I've done a total of about 4500-5000 questions total and it really helped.
I can't believe I did it!!!!I'm from california and I was about to think that I failed after not seeing my name after 3 days. My name came up online after a week. I was out of state having a vacation and my classmate called me to tell me that my name was posted!!!!Tears just started to run down my cheeks and I couldn't stop saying thank you to everyone who supported me, especially to God for making it happen :) I FEEL SO GOOOOD!!!This is really an unexpected and best christmas gift for me!!!Thanks for reading my long story but I'm just so excited to share it to everyone!!Happy holidays!!!!I feel like doing the monkey dance:rotfl::monkeydance:
Wow....I had this website link in my favorites and thought I'd stop by and check it after posting this one and a half years ago!!I'm very happy that my experience has inspired to many of you even upto this day :)...Looking back it was such a struggle to see myself fail 3 times and thinking that I can never make it...but here I am...an RN for one and a half years already :)
Many of you may not care how I'm doing after I passed the test but I'm currently an ICU RN :) and being an RN for 1.5yrs has been so rewarding and everyday is a learning experience in my life. I will never forget the time, energy, tears, and happiness that made me who I am today :)
I will check my private messages as often as I can from now on...To those who need support, encouragement, and prayers....I will be here for you guys...I'm currently a Preceptor to new RNs in our hospital's unit so don't be shy to ask me anything...even if you just need someone to listen to.
Study hard, eat healthy, rest enough, and trust in God.

So nice to see you posting again, have wondered in the past where you disappeared to after passing the exam and starting to work.
