1. Too discouraged to try again

   derngrad06 replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX

   Thanks for your support. I appreciate it. I tried Kaplan, ATI, NCBSN, numerous review books and a private tutor. I am not focusing on my classmates, I am just stating what I have observed while I was in nursing school. I have postponed retaking the e...

2. Too discouraged to try again

   derngrad06 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I have been away for a while. I am trying to ponder almost two years after of graduation on why after failing the NCLEX-RN so many times that I should just give up. After multiple failures and thousands of dollars wasted; what is the point. All anybo...

   dear Aprilhere, I agree with you that there should be a test to ensure minimal competency for RNs and LPNs. I am sincerely glad you passed. I have worked my tail off in school and out preparing for NCLEX and came up short. But don't fool yourself th...

6. Wheres God?

   derngrad06 replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX

   It was not my intention to start a theological debate about Wheres God when it comes to NCLEX. I was just venting. Being an RN is very important to me. Who else would spend untold sums of money on tuition, books, and supplies and put myself through a...

   derngrad06 posted a topic in NCLEX

   I heard that the pass rate for first-time takers of NCLEX is 85%. I am not all that impressed with that percentage. Provided my school's ADN program boasted a 98% pass rate. With all of those funky exams taken in nursing school that NCLEX rate should...

8. Wheres God?

   Extremely well put. In war soldiers die, miners might not have survived. But for those of us who are alive and well who may need some spiritual guidance are just as worthy of Gods intervention.

   Better put. If I do say so myself.

10. Wheres God?

    derngrad06 replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX

    I understand about world affairs and that bad things happen to good people everywhere. But make no mistake about it I can question Gods will in my place in time like anyone else no matter where in the world they may be. Passing this exam may be small...

11. Wheres God?

    derngrad06 replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX

    dear Mytonezucs, Thanks for that acknowledgement. What you said was the point I was trying to get across. I have every right to be angry and disgusted with NCLEX. In school if we were taught in recognition and recall; why in the hell we have to test ...

12. Wheres God?

    derngrad06 replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX

    dear cardiacRN2006, If God is omnipresent like we were all taught to believe he is; you don't have to be a trapped miner or a soldier fighting in a war to receive the blessings of God. There is nothing too big or to small for God to handle. With that...

13. Wheres God?

    derngrad06 replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX

    I am already in the process of "getting back on the horse and try again." Maybe divine intervention is of no use in this situation. I got my health, I employed as an LPN for four years, and I have the same determination to see this through. Since I h...

14. Wheres God?

    derngrad06 replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX

    Thanks for the encouraging words. Some people are lucky in love, money, and good health. Let me say that my classmates earned their licenses and I am happy for them. We had study sessions during school for our exams and supported each other in clinic...

    derngrad06 replied to derngrad06's topic in NCLEX

    sounds like you are saying that i'm saying; "why me?" and conventional wisdom will probably say; why not me? my achievements and success are my own. i have people comming to me saying what is wrong with me. how do you answer that? i try not to. what ...
