I promised myself and God I would share my testimony after I passed NCLEX so here it is...
I graduated June 2014, almost a year late. I took boards the first time in October, I didn't study because I thoight either you have it or you don't. Guess what? I didn't have it the test cut off at 83. Second time I took hurst review and I felt more confident, but I still didn't pass with 265 questions. I was broken and I honestly wanted to give up. I was embarrassed, I lost my job offer, and I was just sad. Not as if I wasn't beating myself up enough, I had to deal with others say "maybe you should do something else." I'm thankful for those statements now because it gave me just the motivation to push forward.
Third time- Most importantly I prayed for understanding and knowledge of what I was I was studying. Also for strength! I purchased the lippincotts Q&A review and started doing a section out it every night. I then purchased NCSBN 3wk review. It was awesome. I reviewed the content and then did the questions along with the lippincotts every day! I made notes and made sure I read the rationales. I finally began to get a clear understanding. So I took NCLEX for the 3rd time on March 19 it cut off at 75. For me it was easy this go round. I found out the next morning I passed when I saw I had an active license!!
Please dont give up no matter what and always keep God first and everything will fall into place!
