Just took boards!!!!

Published

I took my boards today for the fourth time. I've done in the past Kaplan and NCSBN review. I did Suzannes review for this time. In the past I've had 106, 265, and 265 questions. This time I had 75!! I feel confident in my studying and preparing for the test. I did have to tell work to cut my hours down, and at first they didn't really listen. I then had a breakdown about a week and a half prior to today and went to the doctor to give me something for my test anxiety. I was crying and depressed about having failed 3 times and being overworked and feeling so stressed out. I was mentally, spritually, and physically ready for the test. I will found out soon. Here in Missouri they mail it out within one week!!! Which I couldn't believe. Keep me in your thoughts. This website has helped me better prepare and realize that I'm not alone!!! So thanks!!!!!

Hey guys!!!! I am taking boards next Thursday, and I see mention of Suzanne's review....can you tell me where to find this????

Good Luck to you Ladybug!!!! You can do it!!!!!!!

Well I just found out today that I DID NOT pass?!?! :madface: I was so sure that I did good and didn't second guess myself when answering. I was wrong. I'm really upset at this test and more at myself for not passing this thing after the fourth time. And for Ceedrn Good Luck!!! I did think the pills helped calm me down(maybe too much) I felt good the night before and the morning of the test. I did have some anxiety, but my ability to focus on the questions was better, but I also did have only 75 as opposed to 265 that I've had before. I've never had to take any type of anxiety or depression pills ever. So it was a new thing for me. And I don't want to get hooked on them so I've already weaned myself off of them. I just don't know what to do know. Does anyone have any suggestions?????? I feel like God didn't want me to be a nurse.

dont say that pls! God wants you tro pass and you will. Believe that all things work together for good. I know that is hard to take right now but soon when you are an Rn, you will have a huge smile on your face. YOur time will come. Stay focused and positive. I took mine on the 24th of March and got 75 questions. Still dont know my fate cos i moved so the letter is probably going to take a while to get to me. But i want to be positive cos this is my 2nd time. We will all smile soon

I'm so sorry ladybug. I was really rooting for you when I read your first post the other day. Don't give up. Is there a review course offered anywhere in your vicinity? I went to a Kaplan review course and think it helped me, I passed on my first attempt. Above all, do NOT give up. When you get your nuruse's license you will treasure it all the more.

Hello Ladybug:saint: Sorry to hear that u did not make it. I know how u feel right now, its really painful not to get the things we really want especially if we know that we did everything already. What I can tell u is just relax for this time, go out, breathe, cry if u want... But after that, never get tired of asking Gods for ur passing of NCLEX the next time.. I don't know what God plans for you, but I am sure he have good plans for u, for all of us.

I experience lots of failures also, sometimes i just want to stopped and just be this way. But I said to myself, I want to be happy, I want to be successful, and if i won't continue to keep trying.. THEN I know, YES I am a failure.. Thats why, I thank God for finding this site, who has alots of people believin on him here.. I realized now, that God wants me to believe in him, to believe in his power. To continue moving on w. my life.. AND Never doubt on him, HE will give my NLCEX RN license very very soon.

Thats what I will advice to u too, in everytime u feel so down. Just call him, and ask for strength and BELIEVE me HE WIll give it to U....

THese are JUST all TRIALS in our Life, I know eveN YES its painFUL.. BUT God let me see everyday that if there's Storm, theres Rain... THEres ALSO SUNSHINE, THERE's HOPE... Sometimes he is just testing our Faith to him... SO COntinue praising him, HE IS the ONly Light that will give us that True happiness and SUccess... In the end of this road, BELIeve me he will give u that dAY of SUCCESS..

HELLO LADYBUG,

I am sooo sorry to hear about your news. BE Encouraged, DON'T GIVE UP! HANG ON IN THERE! KEEP THE FAITH! God's strength is made perfect in YOUR WEAKNESS. Just cast your care, worries, and anxieties on HIM for HE cares for YOU. ALWAYS REMEMBER that the race is not given to the swift, nor to the strong, but to the one that ENDURETH UNTIL the END. I believe in YOU! YOU CAN DO THIS! Like a writer once said, " IF at FIRST you don't SUCCEED, TRY! TRY AGAIN! I Believe Everything happens for a REASON! MAY GOD Shine HIS FACE UPON YOU AND YOUR SITUATION. Rozy
