-Perfectly_4given

test date July 8th - 0800

I'm taking it July 8th I'm super nervous though! I'll keep you in my prayers.

I am going to be taking the nclex for the 5th time soon. I can't believe I have failed again. I hate being a failure to my kids, and myself. Please pray for me that I won't go in there and forget the knowledge I have learned in Nursing school.

Jesus Said, " He who endures to the end shall receive the prize". God rewards people who dont give up on Him. He shows favor to those with expectant, trusting hearts. .....Cease striving, and know that He is God.....

........NCLEX just want us to be safe enough to join our passion that is to help people furthermore heal them in their most difficult times..

I wish everybody the best....I would be taking mine as well july 16th, I would keep everyone in prayer...

.......We are breathing in CONFIDENCE, HEALING AND VICTORY..

NCLEX= RISING TO THE NEW HEIGHTS..

GOD BLESS..

I will tell you, prayer works....Took my nclex today, first time. I know heaven came down for me.

I drove one hour away, stayed at a hotel last night. This morning, I went to the site two hour early, and forgot to print the ATT. The lady called to see if they would let me test, they refused. I drove back to the hotel, thank God, I saved my aol emails. I was able to print and went and took the test. I did the pearson vue trick, did not go through the credit card page, which indicate a good sign that I passed. I just know God was in the mist, because without Him, there was no way, I was going to remain calm. I asked for prayer all over the world pretty much. I had my mother and a pastor prayed with me this week. I prayed last night and before the test. God is great!!!!

we are on the same boat. i'll be taking on July 6th for the 5th time too! I really can't afford to fail this time. Hope we will pass. May God help us all!

Good afternoon to you all from sunny California,

I just want first at all to thank you for all the wonderful postings. Next, I want to announce that I passed the NCLEX. I took it on July 1, 2009, and my license was posted at the California Board of Nurses on July 3, 2009. I thank to God for the support in this particular endeavor, my friends.

I want to recommend you all who are preparing to take the NCLEX, the following books: Prioritization, Delegation & Assignment by Linda A. LaCharity, Candice K. Kumagai and Barbara Bartz, and Strategies for Alternate Item Formats on the NCLEX-RN Exam by Linda Anne Silvestri and Yazmin Mojica. The book on prioritization question is must...I was hit with what I perceived at the time I taking the NCLEX as "a thousand questions" on prioritization. I cannot stress enough the importance of the prioritization book. I was so glad I took time to study that book for it paid off: I am a registered nurse in the state of California. The book on alternative format is good, too, for I was hit with a lot of questions on alternative format which happened to be an area I felt I was weak, so I made an effort to study it, as well.

A critical aspect of my preparation to pass the NCLEX was to take the Hurst's Review. I absolutely recommend the Husts Review for it uses a different approach to teaching. Go to hurstreview.com and watch Marlene Hurst teaching a lecture on electrolytes. Marlene Hurst is wonderful for she uses the WHY APPROACH to teaching, so once the student understands why things are happening concerning the pathophysiology of a disease, the student does not feel she/he needs to rely so much on memory. Certain values definitely will need to be committed to memory, but it will be a manageable amount.

I learned with Marlene Hurst the meaning of prioritization. The NCLEX exam wants to separate the potentially "safe" nurses from the "killers". Prioritization questions are testing if the candidate has sufficient knowledge to determine a course of action that would kill a patient, and thereby by recognizing such course of action the student will choose the answer that will keep the patient alive. That is all what the NCLEX is about. Marlene Hurst explains that so well, and I gave so many thanks to God even while taking the NCLEX that I understood that concept! I attribute my success primary to God and then to Marlene Hurst's review...word to the wise: think about what I told you about the meaning of prioritization questions. Best to all of you. feliz3

HELP! I'll be taking the exam tom!!!!

O great St. Joseph of Cupertino who while on earth did obtain from God the grace to be asked at your examination only the questions you knew, obtain for me a like favour in the examination for which i am now preparing. In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked through Christ our Lord.

St. Joseph of Cupertino, pray for me.

O Holy Ghost enlighten me

Our Lady of Good Studies pray for me

Sacred Head of Jesus, Seat of divine wisdom, enlighten me. Amen.

Congrats Feliz

Thank you dear Silverdragon102...you have been an excellent moderator. I have learned a lot from you, as well, and for that I thank you. feliz3

I think this forum is a great idea! I take the NCLEX in a little over 2 hours! God bless all of us!

Prayer for the NCLEX is an EXCELENT idea! God has gotten me through everything in my life and I know for a fact he will get me through this as well. I will say a prayer for those who are taking it soon and for those of you who pray please pray that I pass as well :)
