Published

Man.. They say it's a test before your testimony.. When I tell you I'm living proof, I'm living proof.. Straight after graduation I started studying like a maniac for my state boards.. I mean going hard nonstop.. Failed the first time with 75 quest, and I was sick.. My faith was shot, I'm like wow can this nursing experience get any worse.. Then I started it up again, but this time around I landed a job as a nu...rse with my license pending, so I was just convinced this 2nd time around I was gonna pass with flying colors.. NAH.. I failed again with 265 questions.. I was so embarrassed and shamed because I'm seeing all my peers were passing.. I was like what the hell is going on!!?? But I kept pushing, believing, and stood firm on my FAITH that God would see me thru this.. Then as my faith got stronger, blessings kept pouring and in the same instance the devil was attacking me in every which way at my job.. But I kept praying.. Fasting.. And Believing.. Thursday, I took my NCLEX for the 3rd time, yes the 3rd time.. I couldn't eat, sleep, or think for nothing in this world.. And this morning I woke up to see that I PASSED with 125 questions! FINALLY!! When I tell you DELAY DOES NOT MEAN DENIAL YALL!!! Keep pushing for your dreams, goals, aspirations whatever they may be.. Don't let anyone or anything detour you from what your heart desires.. If you believe in yourself, you can do it!!! Don't be embarrassed or shameful about your situation, remember God makes NO MISTAKES YALL!!!

Congratulation on passing. I am taking mine on the 9th for the 2nd time an hope to pass.

thank you and good luck!!

I'm so scared, I failed my first one, I'm getting ready for my second try, I hope to pass.

Thank you for your encouraging post!

I'm so scared, I failed my first one, I'm getting ready for my second try, I hope to pass.

you can do it! dont let your fears overconsume you! you made it thru nursing school and you will pass nclex.. have faith and try to relax.. Good luck!

Congratulations. Great testimony and encouragement. What did you do differently the 3rd time that you feel helped you to pass.

Congrats!!!! Im taking my test soon for the second time and I'm so nervous...

Congrats! What did you use to study

my first exam i used hurst soley and saunders a bit.. i didnt know how to really study for nclex so i found myself memorizing everything. the 2nd time around i used hurst again but also incorporated nclex 4000 in.. i did almost 200 questions a day but i still couldnt get the priorization down pack.. this last time I used kaplan and ncsbn and referred back to hurst when need be for clarification for disease processes. kaplan and ncsbn (3 week ncsbn) saved my life.. you all can do it.. trust and believe i was just as nervous and terrified of failing again, but u have to remember this is just a test, not any test but a safety test.. i also used vision boards that i would read almost everyday to encourage myself that I would pass nclex and be a safe nurse! you all can do this!

This is what I love reading! Congrats girl! God is good! And you are so right about delayed does not mean denial. I failed my NCLEX twice, and I just took it again today, so I'm praying on ten toes that I passed. I have faith I did. But again, congrats! :)

Early congrats to you!!! Faith it until you make it!!!
