Hey, I just want to leave my story & maybe i can be someone inspiration like people's story has been mine ! i graduated for my LVN in 2008. i just got out of high school and my mom just threw me into the course, its NOT like i didnt want to be a nurse but i felt i was just too young !! but i got in the course and i was dealing with it, i got okay grades and i did good at clinicals, but i didnt pay attention enough to understand that there is a STATE test at the end. so we all graduated & i blew the NCLEX off like it was just a regualr test... i didnt pass... it was really much of a big deal to mean at the time, then i had a boyfriend from high school & he was just soo happy for me and i thought we were soo in love so i got pregnant which i thought ok , no big deal hes going to be there for me... but NO!! it was the complete opposite, after i had my daughter i had to a quick reality check, i had to do everything alone at 19yrs old , i had to move out and provide for my child by working at walmart, by this time the stress level was just UP , & i knew i had to test again becus it would be the only way to get out of my situation, so i tried and studied again but i had soo many things going on i just didnt pass... by that time i gave up, i told myself well maybe it wasnt meant to be. i let about 2 yrs pass and the stress level got even higher, more demands starting to take place, my boyfriend got abusive physically & emotionally and i felt like i was at the end... i still had in the back of my mind that i wanted this test but by studying with all the distractors in my life it just wasnt happening, in the two years i tested about 3 times , i took review courses but my mind just wasnt in it..&& it was just a disappointment and everytime i would ask god "why god, i'm in such a horrible situtaion why wont you bless me with this , i mean i have been trying " but it didnt work like that ! so i got so tired of the abuse and the verbal abuse telling me EVERY DAY that'll I'LL never amount up to anything & i couldnt take it anymore i got rid of HIM & that excess drama ... i picked up a job as a HHA and on my down time i would study, i would LIVE, SLEEP AND EAT NCLEX! i purchased the HURST review & just studied online everyday! i didnt watch TV or get on social networks..& remind you , over the years i PAID for about 3 different review courses! THIS HURST REVIEW ! was the best in my eyes, i needed content since i was out of school for sooooo long !! I did question, after question EVERYDAY! I SAT FOR my boards on 5/16/2012 and i got 205 questions and i just prayed for the best ! i didnt try the trick becus i was just mentally drained and i dont think i could handle seeing that credit card page ! so around midnight i checked & i got the GOOD pop up! so i HOPE THIS IS TRUE! : ) but the moral of my story is you CAN NOT , i mean CAN NOT go into the nclex with alot of distractors, you need a clear mind & positive thoughts!!!! if i CAN do it ANYONE can do it, i thought i lost all my knowlegde but i DID && im soo happy ! i can now take care of people & do what i love and also have a better future for my child and I ! good luck EVERYONE TESTING !! && HAVE FAITH IN GOD!!! WITH HIM ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE !!!! I FINALLY PASSED !!!!!! WOOOOOOHHHHH :cheers:
