Wow!! What a month it has been for me. I have another thread up here about failing the first time. It most definitely knocked me down! But I got back up and with Gods help I was successful. Failed first time with 265 passed second with 75!!! I shut my facebook down ( a bad distractor for me) among other social media and did nothing but focus on conquering this test the next time I faced it. I had the job of my dreams lined up at Duke University Hospital ans thankfully they postponed my start date so I could retest. Drove to Wilmington by myself and got a hotel room. Practiced a few questions on my phone but nothing extensive. Woke up, prayed, ate a good breakfast (makesure you do this. Even if you have to force yourself. I really benefited from this). Anyways, I sat down at the screen, took a deep breath and prayed for calmness!! One hour later I was done. I was prepared to stay as long as I needed to but it cut off. I was relieved but of course started to second guess my self as the hours passed. My results were on hold d/t a scanning issue. I scheduled my health screen at Duke this afternoon thinking I would have my results before I went. Oh no. I had to wait. So my mom went with me today to Duke. I couldst go by myself. I was a nervous wreck. All the way there Im checking pearson vue and results not available. So I went ahead and walked in. As scared as I was i had to go. So, im standing in line to get my badge. Im worried i didnt pass and came here for nothing. Its taking a while so i decide to just check pearson vue again thinking it would say the same thing. Oh no, purchase was up there for my quick results. I was back and forth about checking right in the middle of the line but I had to know!!! Thank God it said pass!!! I was about to pass out. Everyone was saying Congrats!! I just had to share this. I will always remember this day! Never give up. This site helped me tremendously. I basically worked out of lacharity's PDA and saunders 6th edition. Did atleast 5000 questions and read rationales. I am bursting with gratitude and Thankful to God. So excited to start my journey as a RN at Duke!! Good luck to all of you who have to take the nclex!! Remember to breathe!!ðŸ˜ƒðŸ˜ƒðŸ˜ƒ
