Passed RN exam at the first try, thanks god!

I promised I will write out my story here to commemorate my those days and express my thankful to god.

I passed my RN exam at the first try on Apr 16,2014. It was stopped at 75 questions. Thanks god. I am so glad because I already almost cannot concentrate on the questions and don't want to sit there any other minutes. But in fact I still felt not good when I left the exam center because those were really hard questions. I totally have more than 30 STAT questions and several ECG which made me crazy. Finally I took my tea and food which are not be touched and drove back home. I tried PVT and got old good popup("recently scheduled...."). I am so worried because I saw a lot of topics here about PVT which said the good popup has been changed to new one(" recently passed..."). 48 hours later, I checked quick result, I passed! Yeah!

I was graduated from China in a medical university 10 years ago. My education was 5 years as a nursing bachelor. After graduation I worked in a general hospital for 8 years in Beijing. In 2012 I came to US. Since I arrived here I started apply for ATT. Because my overseas educational background, the applying process continue almost 2 year! Cannot believe ahh? It is almost equal the 2 years nursing education here. Those were the hardest days. I just waited, waited and waited. Now when I stand this end of the road to look back, I feel everything is worth. Worth to wait, worth to experience, even worth to disappointed so many times.

The total study time for me is 3-4 months. What I used are:

SAUNDERS comprehensive review 4th;

Lippincott's Q & A review for NCLEX-RN 10th;

Prioritization, Delegation, and Assignment;

The last week, I did kaplan qbank 1-7, my score are respectively:70.6%,76%,60%,62%,66%,68%,69%

Besides prepared well before you walk in to exam center, my experience and advice is that during the exam, BE VERY CAREFUL FOR FIRST 15-20 questions. Don't speed for these first beginning questions because these decide what level's questions the computer will give you next. Even though you do good job for next part, if you did not pay attention to the start questions, the level still difficult climbs up.

Finally, please pray every day:

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 examinations 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 us

amen

I don't want to risk offending anyone, but academic success is due to individual effort. No amount of prayer will help if you haven't put forth the effort.

Congratulations!

Congratulations, RN!

Hi thanks guys. It is true that the exam needs hard working to prepare. I have graduated for 10 years and has no education experience in US. I also did not participate any web classes here. I reviewed all the books by myself. It was really difficult work for me. I did around 10,000 questions to practice because I have to reaccept a lot of new concepts in nursing field which are obviously different with what we did in my country. I succeeded. Since I can do it, I believe all of your guys can do it too if you put your whole heart on it in a period of time. God bless all of us!
