passing nclex was like climbing Everest

[Anuska]

Hi everyone,I waited & thought one day I will write in this page after I pass &I finally passed nclex in 2nd time with lots of up & down in life,proudest moment in my life.I made it ,U will make it too.believe,have faith in yourself,if u feel sad,stressed watch motivational speech,review system wise topic.You need to know your topic ,disease ,drugs system wise & then do atleast 50Q /day or less if you too busy but most important is everyday review and attempting questions.Dont stop.

Hi everyone,

I am international nurse ,my life goes this way Fell in love ,got married and landed in usa .shocking enough for me got diagnosed of cancer 3rd stage ,of course being in medical field sometime u think nothing will happen to u but nobody is immune .Every troubles were overlapping each other .Had surgery lost some part of me in between,struggling to rise through that ....I didn't know about Texas n other state so I applied from the state where I was living ,

First requirement IELTS with 7 score in speaking ,listening n all ,took time but I did it anyway was tough as I am not from here.now comes CGFNS took test and failed it .You know when things are going worse struggling with your study,your health ,going to doctors visit every 6 month hoping n praying it doesn't come back and failing test and Thats the moment when u need your partner beside you at least to pat you on your back with "you can do it and I am with you ." And then you know your partner is a lie everything was fake ,being isolated no family and not a single friend to help ,no job.

I changed the board and applied through Texas and failed nclex.Tried hard enough to keep your marriage but when there is cheat,lie and emptiness it's tough for your heart to endure.cried everyday can't even tell your family what's going on thinking its gonna be hurtful for them.I separated from him ,moved to other state ,called my sis here and started working as CNA and then Med tech,worked 2 jobs and Now I got divorced.where I come from divorce is kind of shame I used to think the same but when time goes by You understand and get matured enough that when there is no love,understanding ,appreciation and respect for each other then it's better off then to suffer every day.

Everyone knows who rides horse ,falls many times but hard to apply in your life after you fail twice.study part I have done my Nursing in 2008 long time ago.every page you look they say hard to pass .....I took UWorld and a refresher 6wks class .I studied all the review book revised and also did 1500q to 1800Q.some day 25 some day 50,65 or some day 10 when I am at work .I couldn't do 75 Q.i tried but for me was better to understand the rational then to hurry and finish 75 Q.studied long time but I worked really hard in this 3months ,I read system wise ,reviewed topic e.g.cardiovascular and did questions from that system ,next time other system and same system questions.I didn't tell any one about my exam date not even my family.

Before test day I reviewed labs value,few topic and also went to party compulsory type but had fun .didnt sleep much as u know exam phobia and late night party... In this 3 months period everything changed from being non believer of God to believer.I don't know why ?U need to have believe or faith in something.it 's like there is someone to help you and for you.my exam was at 8 am got up early ,prayed,ate some breakfast also took nuts and chocolate for break while giving exam and I went to center early .as I have attempted my first nclex exam before and I failed in 75 Q so I was scared thinking in my head that I don't know how but I have to do above 75 Q And then 75 Q finished I thought now its going to shut down soon .it shut down in 95 Q ,There was lot of SATA questions more than 30. some from UWorld so take UWorld course .most of people know they passed but not me went home stressed planned already to again start studying ,I don't know how what confused ,tried Pearson Vue trick ..it worked but didn't believed after 48 hrs fought out I passed ,thought I was dreaming or something.,called my sis to confirm and see hehe....hurray now I am RN .still lots of goal to achieve but this one will be always my favorite one as this is for me to be proud of myself and my family to be proud of me .

It is like sun rising from dark cloud.Best of luck .Do practice UWorld questions ,have fun too some time exercise ,waking .watch motivational speech as lot of people had been up and down in their life and rose from Their failure .Best of luck everyone who is planning to take Nclex.Be with your family ,talk to them,have a good friend than a fake one if not better off specially in low moment of your life .sorry I know it's too long but I thought one day I will pass and will write in this page .Thank you and thanks for whoever thought & created this allnurses page.lots of love....
