If you do everything and lift up everything in His name he will be there to help you. remember i took it 10x. He did not give up on me. Thank God!

congratulations, my friend, your indeed an inspiration to all of us who are taking the nclex exam for how many times. hope i'll get the same faith of yours right now. i'll gonna take my exam next month. i'll let our good lord decide if i deserve to pass or try my luck next time. thanks for sharing your own experience.. more power to you....

:hpygrp::hpygrp::hpygrp: Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow. :ancong!::ancong!::ancong!:

Hi! First of all i'd like to thank you all for all the greetings. It was not easy for me while i was preparing for the exam. Some people said that i've been taking the test many times and unsuccessful but I believe that if God helped me get my BSN degree then why not take the test over and over again until I succeed. I felt that God has a plan for me and that helped me not to give up. I know it was not easy. Let me tell you all, I lost my mom mothers day of 2008 and my brother on chrstmas day 2008 too. It was really a tough year for me, But God always find a way to lift us up. I know wherever they are right now, my mom and my brother are happy for me. I remember that 9th time I took it, my brother was still alive then and he asked how did I do, I said I failed and he said, it's sad and he told me too, never give up, and he beleived in me that I will make it next time. My mom said the same thing too when I took it the 8th time. Some people say that, I should stop telling everyone that I took it 10x coz it's embarassing, well, I shouldn't be feeling that way. It's my way of encouraging people NOT TO GIVE UP! During my NCLEX-RN journey, everytime I took the test, i always felt that I was giving my best, but everytime I get the result, it's failed. And my response was always, "well, take it again next time." I am so thankful for my family too for not giving up on me. My husband who's been very supportive and never gave up on me and always tell me that he believes in me. My children ages 5 and 3, I always tell them to pray for mommy to pass the test so mommy and daddy can put you to good school, and yes pray they everynight for me. They are so cuuute. Thanks to them too.

Let me tell you my experience while I am taking my 10th nclex, Before I even put my hand in the computer, I prayed in my heart, asked for the Holy Spirit to help me get through it. But my heart was pounding and felt like I have butterflies in my stomach. I was able to survive asnwering 30 questions in less than an hour, then I raised my hand to have an unscheduled break. I told the proctor I need to go the restroom, in the restroom, I was kneeling and praying and ask God to help me because I don't want to fail again, I need a better job coz my husband just lost his job. So I went back to the testing room and then composed my self and focused more. Then difficult questions keep popping up. I never had computation and that was the first time that i didn't have any. I had lots of SATA, infection control, drug's S/E, drug toxicity, critical lab values, tons of priority questions. I remember my last 5 questions were all prioritization. When the computer stopped at 75, I said, that's it? I think i need more than that. But that's really it. So, after answering the last part w/c is the survey, I prayed in my heart and said to HIM, that I did everything I can then God, Your will be done.

In my previous prep for the exam, I used to read different books but it didn't helped me, it just made me more confused. Then my prep on my 10th take, I only used THE ABCs of passing foreign nursing exams and NClex-rn in a flasah by R.A. Gapuz. It helped me a lot. Because the book only tackles on what is important in the nclex-rn, so it's easier for me to remmeber, especially those initial manifestations of every diseases. Try that book. NCLEX-RN in a flash is available in amazon.com, barnes and noble and borders. I did not regret taking it 10x because I know that God has a plan for me and he revealed it to me unexpectedly.

For those who has been taking it many times, DO NOT GIVE UP! God has a plan for all of us. Always remember, YOU CAN DO IT TOO! Pray, Study then pray. It really works. Do your best and God will do the rest.

My prayer now is for God to help me in this new level of my career, help me do my job well so I can help my husband provide food in our plates and a shelter for our family, a good education for our children and help also those who are in need.

Please let me know if i can help. I can pray for all of you guys. If you have some questions let me know. I am not an expert I am just here to share the blessing that He has poured on me.

Have faith! God bless you all!

Sorry to hear about your mom and brother...These books that you mentioned was mentioned by somebody else on this website, so they must be pretty good books. I was able to get the NCLEX-RN from Barnes and Noble, but where did you get the ABC's of Foreign Nursing Exam Book by Ray A. Gapuz at...

Thanks so much for your testimony because I have taken it several times and I study so hard and I always pray to God and I know that anything is possible with God...Thanks Again
