Hi fellow nurses. I am foreign graduate and I passed nclex in my first try. I was out of school for 11 years and just decided to take it this year. I got encouraged about the experiences of people here in this website so I guess its my turn. I enrolled in review center that catered 10days live review. After that I still have to wait for 2mos for my eligibility and att. By July I got it and scheduled my exam the soonest. I used LaCharity and Uworld. Uworld was far way better than other qbank. They had detailed rationales and moderate to hard questions. I remembered our coaches once told us that in Nclex Sata is not in hard level its only in moderate level. I guessed its right coz my first question was Sata. Whenever I saw sata I was smiling followed by prioritization question which means im in the right track. I am literally praying each questions I get, both my review notes from review center I attended and uworld rationale only 25% of it I got from my exam. So 75% I really dont have idea where it came from. For me my savior was these powerful prayers. And I will share it to you.

What are your next steps? Do you plan to take a refresher course with a clinical placement? If it's been eleven years since graduation you will need to relearn the skills.
Yes dishes I am continuing learning. I am planning to watch some videos. I am not planning to find a job yet cause I need to be stay on my current job for awhile.
This is a true example of HUMILITY, you accept that you are nothing without HIM. I firmly believe that He is the source of our wisdom and knowledge. I don't think that she's trying to force anyone here to believe in what she stands as an individual and as a christian, she neither forced anyone here to do what she did for passing the exam. She just wants to share her testimony just like others. Am I forcing you to believe me? Of course not, because I also believe that we're unique individuals, we are different from each other (just think about our fingerprints), RESPECT connects us to one another and makes us accept the differences of a person, I am also writing this because I believe in the power of prayer and in the power of God. Congratulations and may God bless you more!
Call me crazy, but I hope that any nurses I ever have caring for me passed the NCLEX because they knew the material, not because "God" rigged the test results for them ...

of course they knew the material (they wouldn't pass if they knew nothing), I guess giving your best to defeat NCLEX is a must, you have to study and work for it. As a christian, I am a firm believer of "DO YOUR BEST (that means I will study for NCLEX with all my heart, I will exert 100% effort, if I failed, then that would indicate that I didn't give my 100%) AND GOD WILL DO THE REST (God will make me remember what I studied, what I wrote in my rationale notebooks, etc., God will calm my nerves during the exam)". But that's just me, like I said we are different from each other.

I respect what you believed in. For me I strongly believe I cannot do it on my own. God made it possible and He was there when I took the exam and while waiting my result.
Congratulations! For those who left rude or negative comments on your post they obviously need to work on their cultural sensitivity if they are going to be good nurses. You, however, responded with impressive class. I'm sure you are going to make and amazing nurse.
