Thank You Lord !

Oh my gosh I just can't stop crying and thanking God ! I pleased to announce that I passed my first med surg 2 exam with a B and I'm estactic ! Background info. : Hardest nursing exam I've ever taken... Second year nursing students also agree this was the hardest exam. A third of the last med surg 2 class failed the first exam. So many of my friends whom have already taken it failed. :crying2::crying2::crying2: I've just been hearing horror story after horror story about how hard this exam was and how many people failed.

During the exam there were so many questions where I went blank and had no idea what the answer was. So many meds that I had no clue even existed.

After the exam I felt sick to my stomach and felt like I was going to vomit.

However, I made it through despite it all. Call me crazy... I'm Just crazy enough to believe that God touched me to pass my exam. No I did not hear his voice say " number 32 is A", its just his mercy and Grace that allowed me to get this far in nursing school.

When I felt like giving up my nursing due to the stress God allowed me not to quit, he reminded me that defeat is never an option.

When I felt like I was going blank and did not have a clue what the answer was , he calmed my nerves and reminded me that this too shall pass.

When I felt like going home or doing something other then studying, he gave me the wisdom to buckle down and study anyway.

When I felt like I was going to lose my mind due to the stress of working full time while in nursing school, he stepped in and did not allow me to reach insanity.

Before every exam I pray, on each exam I write " Lord please bless me to do well" He listens and he continues to amaze me !

I know many of you are thinking that " God never helped me do anything"

For me I can't do nothing with out him ! Once again this is just me...

Once again I'm thankful and I know I can do all things through Christ whom strenthens me !

Thank you lord, I love you so much. :redbeathe:yeah::yeah::yeah::yeah:

Congratulations and let me be the first to say Amen!!! I'm not in nursing school just yet although I was just accepted this past weekend, I do believe I couldn't have made it this far without Him guiding me. Aaaaand... I know my God will be with me for the next two years.

Keep up the good work!!!!:clphnds:

not discrediting god, but i wouldn't depend on divine intervention as a principal method of getting through nursing school. it will be pretty hard to explain where god was when the answers aren't forthcoming another time.

depend on the rabbit's foot if you will, but remember it didn't work for the rabbit.

the only sure thing about luck is that it will change.

hmmm...amen sister! I know what you are talking about. God has pulled me through many of my exams and he continues to bless me even in the midst of my mess. Nursing school can be truly nerve wracking but we can do it and we are going to survive the storm.

Good for you giving God all the honor and Glory. That is the way it supposed to be if you ask me. And no you don't party all night and expect God to give you the answer when you didn't study. But for me and my full time Job and my full time Preq schedule and my fulltime single parenthood, I know only God gives me the strength to study while my son is asleep and I want to be asleep too. I know only God got me accepted to nursing school this fall when there were over 2500 (from what I'm told) applicants for maybe 700 spots. Congrats on your exam, God is good. :yeah:

Yes, God has never given me the answers on a test, only the peace and strength and determination to do what I need to do to be successful in this life. That I rely on, knowing the answers? He expects me to study ;-)

I having been lurking in the background for a long time and this post has driven me out of hiding. I have to say a big AMEN. I do believe in the power of prayer. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" is one of my favorite mantras. I will carry that quote with me always because it is so true and with faith you will achieve. Yes, there will be obstacles, things will seem impossible at times but we can do this. We will succeed. Congrats :yeah:
