my nclex journey has been a long one...and when i say long i mean really really long...i graduated in 2004 and took my first nclex exam in 2005. and every year since then i have been trying to take and pass the nclex...and this year on Nov 22 i finally did it! FINALLY!! it is possible to pass...just dont give up...to all those re-takers do not let this test put a stop to your dream of becoming a nurse...i surely dint allow it to...all those other times i took and retested and failed, was only another reason for me to get back up and face the exam...i did not give up and you shouldnt...thank god for my husband...he truly was and is my inspiration... he believed more in me the i did...he never gave up on me and kept pushing me to study and take the test...thank you lord for all the guidance and support...
to all of you who are going to take the test...just be consistent in your study schedule and stick to one or two books...i used lacharity, kaplan and davis...i studied 2-3 hours everyday for 2 months...and i did 50-100 questions every day and read all the rationales...it was a long and tough road for me...having 2 girls (3 &5), and being self employed...managing the family business...my schedule was hectic...but i found time at night at 9:30pm -12midnight...to study...that was the only time i had to myself... =) but it was worth the sacrifice...now time to look for a job =) good luck to all the other people who are preparing to take the exam...you can do it and believe in yourself =)
thank you to allnurses and to everyone on here...your stories of success and failures have kept me going...its good to know that i wasnt the only one having a hard time...this site really has great people who support each other sincerely =) god bless u all! and i am proud to finally say that i am an RN =) yey!

Congratulations, you really gave me hope. I posted a thread here a while ago about my failure. It was really a devastating event. It's another burden added to my hundreds of piled up failures. I feel like quitting. seriously. But thanks, this enlighten me a bit. :)
