Hello all future nurses.

I don't know if anyone is going to read this ever, but I felt that I had to post my story after having read so many other stories about passing and failing the nclex. First off I was a decent student in school. I had a very rough first year of nursing school with some personal issues that took me from my studies and made me have to play catch up the next year and a half. The summer after that first year and the second year of nursing school I pulled myself together and made Dean's list for the rest of my time, but I still had a smaller knowledge base than many of my classmates due to my poor performance. Well I graduated and got the greatest nursing job in the world with the greatest group of people. They sent me a welcome letter with all of their signatures and held a welcome party on my first day. In fact while I was studying for the nclex they would call and check in to see how my studying was going and tell me that I would do fine.

After graduation I did celebrate and did go out and have fun being a college graduate. Only one thing stood in my way, the NCLEX exam. I signed up for Kaplan and went to their four day class and had the internet class. I went in the first day and found myself a good percentage below even borderline on the first test. This stressed me out as all the other students in the class were at borderline or above. I spent the next three days reviewing questions and then took the readiness test. I got the results back and found out that my score had even fallen further. This scared me off from taking the test so I pushed my date back until March to give myself three months to study. Well it was difficult to come home from work and study and I was pretty inconsistant, especially because I was so scared to take this test and fail. Eventually March came and I was picking up my studying and was getting prepared to take the test until I ran into one of my classmates. Now this was the girl in class that I would go to with questions. She was a "brainiac" and I had never seen her get anything less than an "A." She tells me that day that she failed the NCLEX her first time and that afterwards her pay got cut in half until she passed, and that if she didn't pass the second time that she would be fired. Needless to say I got scared again and cancelled my date until I felt I was ready.

The last week of April came and my boss informed me that we have a company policy that we have to take the test within a certain amount of time from the date of hire. My boss gave me a week off of work and told me to go in and take it, and no matter what happens that I will still have a job there. This scared the crap out of me. I went back to the online Kaplan class and studied like a mad man the whole week. I did the questions over and over. My average score on the question trainers was probably 56-58% with my lowest being a 49%. I knew I had to go in and take the test so I went in yesterday.

I went into the test room and felt I was doing pretty well until I was getting questions about diseases that I haven't even heard of. Then I got to question 75 and it did not shut off once I hit the next button. In fact it did not shut off until I got to question 265. The whole time of the test I was wondering when will this shut off, and how am I going to pass this. Well I got my results today and I am a Registered Nurse.

The main reason I wanted to write this story about my trials and tribulations is that when I was scared the week before the test I would go on the forums here and read about everyone else's experiences and it helped a lot. I just hope that the people who are scoring if the 50% on the kaplan trainer, like me, read this and know that you can pass. Just because you aren't scoring a 65% like they want you to does not mean you are guaranteed to fail. Just focus and work hard!!! My last piece of advice is to not let this test scare you like it did me. This thing has hung over my head for the past five months and has kept me awake many of my nights wondering if I can or could ever pass it. Well I did, and I know if I can than you can. So I hope this helps someone in need of some encouragement.
