Congratulations. That was inspiring..

Wow congratulations Debbie! I am so happy for you.. talk to you soon

I took it the same day you did in Cali. I received results Last Friday. You should be getting yours soon too. Good luck!

Thank you dez5150. Thank you for feeling me.. Anyway, I have sent you pm regarding the details. Thank you oh so much. May God shower you with more blessings.

Thank you so much! I appreciate it.. I will surely look into those.

@ Determinedgal1.. Thank you for lifting me up which is so much helpful at this point. I appreciate you taking the time to give me tips and ideas about this new Saunders book. Is the book your suggesting the Comprehensive Review or Q&A? Thank you so so much for the kind words. Despite being strangers, you are trying to reach out to me which is super wonderful. I truly would want to pass the second time I take it because I feel for my kids. Living in someone elses house makes them inferior as well because they could not run around and make noises like normal kids do. They are always told not to. @Dez5150.. Thank you again for your generosity. I took the NCLEX-RN exam and I am taking it again hopefully soon. If its not too much, please tell me when or how you can send it so I can at least pay for postage. Thank you. I need all the luck I can get. May God bless you more for doing good deeds to others. I have made a vow to also help others when time has come for me to be able to do the same. People like you inspire people. I hope you do not get tired of that wonderful deed. I cannot say thank you enough.

Thanks I will check it out :redpinkhe

Hi Dez150.. Are you serious? It would be great if you could at least lend me your book. I will totally appreciate that. I didnt buy that book yet eventhough I have her card cause Im still looking for ways to get it myself. Thank you. Thank you so much!

Thank you for your kind words. I have been to the library but all they got are old Princeton books. I aint complaining and my husband's mom is very generous in providing us with everything even with paying for our cellphone bills. Its just that sometimes Im so tired of being bossed around cause I aint used to that. And I feel so inferior cause everyone in my husband's home are nurses and they all passed the first time which makes me even more inferior. I just feel so stupid for not having passed. Oh well, Now she lent me her ATM so I can buy the book. Now more pressure is on me. Oh boy..

Thank you silverdragon. The La charity book is all I got at this time. The second hand books online are like $5 less the new book's price. So I am looking around. I am so sad, but seeing my kids makes me want to become somebody. I have to make it. God will help me and having a community such as Allnurses.com is totally an awesome place to interact and just open and let it go.So thank you all. I appreciate it a lot.

I have taken the boards last month and was down in the dumps since I got THAT letter. I am trying to start all over and this time I am so disappointed that it gives me more drive to pass. I have used Saunders before but was not able to finish the entirety since I ran out of time.I also had the La Charity book which I never opened because I was more focused on the other book. Now I no longer have the Saunders book since I just borrowed it and now the owner needs it. I have a minimum wage job that gives me 10 hours a week, with 3 kids and this totally makes it harder to have to retake the test. Mu husband is a student and we live with my in laws and its really hard to have to live with them. But I know that these sacrifices will be fruitful and I will be who I want to be in the future. The stories here inspire me to do more and be more. Which books will help me in taking it the second time? Thank you guys and to those who are still on the verge of that dream, hang in there. We know we all can do it.

Both are good. The former will help you review the facts while the latter will enhance your test-taking strategies. It will also help you review as long as you read the rationales. Both are good but if you have to choose one, id say the Q&A will help you more. Just my two cents.

After reading all the posts here, everybody who were able to reregister failed. Im hoping against hope that it aint true but i guess it is. and yes, cutegirl, that is a good sign..

congratulations jenhope.. you did a great job =)

Let us not make a big deal outta this "trick" thing. It may or may not be true. Nevertheless, nobody said that it is indeed true. It is just a speculation. A maybe. As what the other posters said-- to keep their sanity. So it is all on you to decide whether or not believe it. It has been stressed a lot of times that only that letter from the Board of Nursing can tell you the results. So until you get it, you will never know for sure..
