I am sorry it took so long. I had to work today then of course went out to eat to celebrate :biere:!!!!!!It felt so good being at work and actually being a NURSE!!!!!!!!!! not a unit secretary which is what they let me do until i passed!!! Amy I know you can do it. I will keep you on my mind until you retake. !!!:biggringi Cortney, RN

Hey Angel1979- I failed the Nclex my first time around and just found out today that i passed the second time with 75 ?s!!! I was so depressed for like ever when I found out I didn't pass the first time. I was more embarrased than anything, b/c I already had a job in the ICU and already in the Critical Care Residency!!! (very embarassing) They let me be a Unit Secretary within the unit and I was able to continue to go to the Critical Care classes twice a week, which helped also. But I just wanted to say keep your head up b/c it happens so much more than most people think. I just couldn't believe it was me when it happened!!!! which I am sure is what you are thinking!!!! GOOD LUCK and keep your head up and YOU CAN PASS!!!

WELL EVERYONE, THE RESULTS ARE IN I OFFICIALLY PASSED MY SECOND TIME AROUND!!!!! I HAD 75 ?S THIS TIME AND FELT VERY CONFIDENT WHEN I LEFT THE TESTING CENTER THIS TIME. I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR PRAYERS!!!! I WROTE WHAT I DID TO STUDY ON THE THREAD (NCLEX MARCH 20) GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE STILL TO TAKE IT.

HEY EVERYONE!! Well I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first test I had 147 this time I had 75 and found out this morning that I passed!!! I was SO relieved! I felt like I lost about 50 lbs off of my shoulders of pressure!!! I want to thank you guys for all your support and prayers. This time around was a whole lot easier. Im not saying that the content was easy, but there was so much less stress this time. I took my time and answered the questions. I wrote 1234 on my dry erase board on each question and got it down to 2 like always and then chose the best from those 2. It helped me so much to see it on paper before I made a decision!!! Thanks to everybody!!! CORT81, RN:nurse:

Thank you so much Eliza Mae...and you are right, it is over!!! I will know Wednesday and am going to play the waiting game until then! Thanks for your prayers, I definetly felt all of them!!!

Well it is 0930 & I am done with my test and back at the hotel trying to slow my heart down a bit. Who knows how it went. I had 3 select all that apply, Gout, Infective Endocarditis, lots of first, initial, priority to see patients. I WROTE IN BIG LETTERS ON MY DRY ERASE BOARD, "I CAN PASS"!!! I kept praying saying God give me enough questions to make me be an RN. I will know Wednesday and of course will keep you all informed. I can find out at 8:00 am but will be in my critical care course at the hospital and haven't decided whether I want to look at work or not. But will let EVERYONE know either way--b/c this site has definetly been my rock. Last night I wanted to do questions and instead got on here to help my nerves :wink2: Keep my sanity in your prayers for until Wednesday -Cort81

Well there is 11 hours till the big test!!! Thanks to everyone for all your prayers and I will be sure to let you know the outcome!! I feel your prayers!

CONGRATULATIONS 2005GRAD!!!! I am so proud of you. My test is in the morning at 8 am!!! I haven't gotten extremely nervous yet, I feel alot better than the first time, but still somewhat nervous. We drove to the testing center and are staying in a hotel right next door tonight, so that I can walk to the testing center in the morning, which is good so no traffic issues!! Anyones I read the lyrics you wrote, and loved them!! WISH ME LUCK--!! Nclex here I come MARCH 20!!!

CONGRATS SHAYCIVIC!!!! I am so happy for you!!! I am ready for Monday so that I can take that test again. I hope I am in your shoes next week!! CONGRATS RN!!!

Good luck Shayc!!! Remember to relax and walk in there knowing that you are going to come out as an RN!!!

Well everyone the day is almost here. I have 2 more days of studying and a few more questions then I am putting the books away. Congrats to Immortal RN!!!!, and Incredibles06 I am sure you did great!!! I have said lots of prayers and have not gotten very nervous this time yet. I will let you guys know as soon as I am done and back in town how the test went. I am in TX so thank goodness for quick results. By God's Grace next Wednesday I will be able to write RN behind my name. Thanks to everyone for their support and keep me in your prayers!!!! NCLEX HERE I COME (march 20)

GOOD LUCK INCREDIBLES--I will be in your same shoes a week from tomorrow. I'll say a prayer for you, but you are ready this time. Remember to breathe and RELAX....Im pretty sure it isn't that we didn't know the info, it is TEST ANXIETY:uhoh3: Keep telling yourself to breathe. A friend of mine that took it and passed with 75 ?'s said that she wrote 1234 on the dry erase board they give you and did the process of elimination by marking out the numbers with the questions. I think sometimes it is easier to SEE it on paper!!! Hope that helps. GOOD LUCK INCREDIBLES, RN!! NCLEX HERE I COME (MARCH 20)

I will definetly keep you in my prayers!!! We can pray for each other and ourselves..LOL I take mine again exactly two weeks from today. In 14 days I will be done with that test and by God's grace will have walked out as a RN this time!!! NCLEX MARCH 20th HERE I COME!!! ( ;) im stealing immortal's lines, they seem to work;) ;) )
