Ok....On Jan 29, 2008, I failed my NCLEX-RN with 265 questions. I was soooo disappointed. I cried and cried, felt like a failure and was angry. I couldn't understand why I failed. I did well in school...I loved learning and would sometimes spend my freetime reading nursing books. Crazy I know. But still I failed. I personally believe in faith in God and my lord Jesus Christ but I didn't have faith in what I knew to be true. I was always doubting

whether God truly cared for me or whether he truly wanted the best for me. I always struggled with the person of God, I thought of him as mean and a worship hogger. I know this is really bad...but I was at a time in my life where I just didn't believe. "Eventhough I had seem God work amazing miracles. Well I say all of this just to fast foward to Monday March 31st. I had been studying with my test scores barley improving. Finally, I began to pray. Not only about the test but about my life. There are things in my heart that I needed to take to God. Well on the day of the test, I prayed in the bathroom at the center. I told Jesus that I am a woman of little faith...I doubt you and your love for me...I am sorry...but I really need for you to work on my behalf...Lord can the test shut off at 75 questions and I pass???? That was it. I sat down and took the test and to my surprise it shut off at 75 questions...and I passed!!!!!! I know this is a long post and many of you guys may not have the same view as me. However, I challenge you to trust God!! And know that All things work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose!~Also, proverbs 16:1-9 A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps! You can do ALL things through Christ Jesus, who strengthens you!! Also, believe in yourself that you can do it!!!! You can....and don't compare yourself with others...you are unique....

Thank you Jesus!!!

By the way...first time I took Kaplan online complete, however I didn't finish the qbank...failed with 265

Cardiheartnsg - Ah yes. The pray and study method. I used that too. :wink2: Just finished graduate school with the pray and study method and will definitely need it to get me through the NP certification exam which I'll be taking soon (and is causing me some anxiety as I study for it). Thanks so much for reminding me..... i needed to hear that this morning...Congratulations to you Now relax and do something nice for yourself to celebrate.:yelclap::w00t::balloons:

wow!!..Trust in the lord....=100% victory...always!!!!!!!!:ancong!:

Thanks for your testimony! I too believe in Jesus Christ and my faith was surely wavering. I neer took the test but it seems like whenever I got ready to take the test something tragic happens. When I graduated in april of 06 I scheduled my to take the test and then my mother was diagnosed with Cancer.. So I had to devote all of my time to her..Taking care of her and make sure she was comfortable and of course my study time went out the door..She was my priority then not the test...She died that same year and it like part of me went with her. I was so depressed after she ided I didn't pick up a study book until like 6 months after ..So I finally got the nerve to start back studying and then my cousin died a week before I was to test...Ok So i was supposed to rescheduled my test but my time ran out and I found out I had to pay another $200 to test. So I didnt study and just let time pass basically doing nothing and really not motivated to do anything dealing with the NCLEX. By this time I'm to depressed to take this darn test. So much time has passed and I started doubting myself!! I'm like I have been out of school 2 years and havent tested. All of my friends have taken the test and passed and I'm still studying trying to get pass this obstacle..Ok so now im all hyped up to start studying I been reading some amazing success stories on this website and so now I'm motivated ...Ready to take the test paid my money to Pearson and had to reapply to Board of nursing because my application had expired...and guess what??????I just so happen to be in a tax office with a freind filing her income tax and some guys decided to come and rob the owner!! so now I was involved in an attempted robbery and yes I was an innocent bystander who got shot in the leg while trying to take cover!! I'm like God why me?? WHAT IS IT?? So I had to reschedule my test AGAIN..because I been going thru suregery and physical rehab! I just don't understand why all of this is happening to me...I was so ready to give up! I have never been one to doubt God until all of these trials startewd hitting me at one time..I know I shouldnt dount Him but its so hard to just believe when all I see is one big mess in front of me!!! God is good and I thank him for letting you write that post...I needed to hear that..because right now I have suh little Faith!! I'm currently doing suzannes plan and I will be testing in May. Thanks again for your story!
