NCLEX Tomorrow, April 22

Published

Hello All,

I just wanted to ask for some special prayer and thoughts to be sent my way as I take my NCLEX for the 2nd time tomorrow.

I took my first test on February, 5 of this year and had all 265 questions. I think I burned myself out and freaked out way too much about the test before I even took it. I was completely crushed when I got home and did the Pearson trick and got to the CC screen and 2 weeks later I got my official failure letter in the mail. I had a little pity party for myself and did not want to tell anyone that I had failed (especially my nursing school friends who had already passed).

I feel different about taking the test this time. I used Kaplan and Mosby the first time and this time I have used Saunders and NCLEX 3500. I have also made what I call "my magic book", it is full of random facts and information that I have studied everyday, sometimes for just 5 minutes at a time.

Either way, I really hope that I have fully prepared myself for it this time. I have also told myself, what's the worst that can happen? I have to retake it, well I have already been through that and know that I will survive.

So, if you happen to read this, could you please just say a small prayer my way? I would really appreciate it!! :)

Good luck to you. As someone said previously, don't spend too much time on each question, don't second guess yourself. Have confidence in your choices and just go for what you think is correct.

The number one thing you need to have in order to pass the nclex is confidence. Forget all the strategies and thinking trees out there. If you do questions, see where you make your mistakes, concentrate on those areas you have everything you need. Take heart and know that you take the NCLEX to prove you are a SAFE, competent nurse not specialist of some kind. Take the night off, you have this in the bag. God speed my friend:nurse:

:pntrghi: You have a powerful ability that can be extremely useful in just about any situation. You have the ability to change. It's something you do regularly, and you probably just take it for granted. Yet it's important to always remember that you have the ability to change.

If you feel angry, or frustrated, sad, or dismayed, though those feelings may seem to consume you, always know that you can change them. You may not want to change them just yet, and that's fine. Yet when you are ready, you can change. If you're in a difficult financial situation, you can change. If you're having serious problems in a relationship, you can change.

You can observe, you can learn, you can make decisions, and you can change. That doesn't give you an excuse to abandon your responsibilities and commitments. In fact, it gives you a way to honor and support them.

Every moment of life is a process of change. Though you may feel stuck in one place, that is certainly not the case. Countless positive possibilities are open to you. With your time, your effort and your commitment, you can bring those possibilities into reality.

Whatever life may throw at you, whatever challenges or obstacles you may face, always keep in mind that success is possible through positive, focused change. :pntlft:
