Tears rolled down my cheeks when I read the last paragraph of your novel, LOL! A must-read!!!!!!:redbeathe

congratulations! you passed....:yeah::yeah:

You are in my prayers. I can exactly relate to you. I took NCLEX 4x. I graduated in June 2009. Took the test in July. Failed with 85 questions. Felt like the world ended. Took it again in Oct. Failed at 75 questions. Felt numbed and laughed it off but deep deep inside I was really really hurting. Took it the 3rd time in Feb. 2010. Failed again with 265 questions. This was the time that I really cried. It affected everything. My work, my family esp. my relationship with my beloved and very supportive husband. That same day that PVT sent me to the credit card page (the "trick"), I immediately sent a $75 check to BRN and tried to forget that I already tested 3x. I started all over again as if I was a new grad. I took the Kaplan review seriously. I did Kaplan the first time, Saunders on the second and NCSBN on the third. This time I went back to Kaplan but did it online. I listened to all the lectures (or audio version online), answered all Q bank and in between read the Kaplan RN Course Book. I then scheduled my test on the second week of April but then I read in the NCSBN website that they are changing the test content by April 1st (they do it every 3 yrs). I rescheduled my test for March 24 and promised myself that I should never go back to any NCLEX testing center ever again. I finished with 75 questions. Two hours after, I checked PVT and the "famous popup" came up. Today I saw my name at the CA BRN. I must admit NCLEX is nerve-wracking. 99% hardwork plus I don't know how many % prayers (even though I also prayed real hard), I am now an RN. The only reason that you won't be able to do it is when you stop doing it...... Believe in yourself bacause you made it through nursing school. It is okay to feel bad, feel sad or feel nothing. You are in my prayers, future RN...:)D:nurse::redbeathe:nurse:
