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: 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:
Keep your faith. God is good. I just got my acceptance letter last Saturday, and I have nobody but to thank but God. God is good. He will never fail you. Keep up the good work, and keep him on your side and you will definitely succeed.
CONGRADULATIONS!!!!! :yeah:I too am on the bandwagon of giving GOD all the praise for my success. He has blessed me to be accepted into nursing school. He blessed me to make it through my prerequisites and to get accepted. I know he will bless me to make it through to the end. Yes, we have to do our part but we cannot be highminded and think that we have gotten where we are without His grace. All praise and thanks be to the Lord.
Congratulations!!! This has encouraged me to never give up. Even when my classes get really hard and I began to get frustrated I remember that God will never leave me and he cares about my future!! Once again congratulations!!!

:twocents:I'm not totally discounting the extent to which you feel the Lord has brought about your success. However, I think you should give yourself more credit. The things you mentioned are signs of personal motivation to succeed, and the power of positive "self talk". You motivated yourself to keep going when it was easier to just go to bed or watch tv, or scream and give in. It's all about the way we guide and react to our internal thoughts.
I'm happy that you find so much comfort in God and that probably hugely contributes to your positivity and will to keep pushing on, however I think a great deal of your success has been to do with you.:yeah: I don't know, I think it is your belief in God that gives you the most strength as opposed to Him intervening in your life.
(Just thought I'd put another point of view in this thread!)
I'm touched by your story. I don't know how I'd make it through each day without the Lord. I feel like He's been carrying me for awhile. I feel like giving up on school but I know He's cheering me on from above to keep going.
Well I just finished my second exam for med surg two and I feel as though its was more challenging then the first... but God has brung me through it again with a passing grade !!!
I think I can see the light. Final is next week, one more nursing course after this and July 22nd is my pinning ceremony !
I'm going to keep pulling through guys. Thank you Lord once again for allowing me to pass ! whoo hoo.
a friend of mine had this quote on her profile once...."God does not choose the qualified but qualifies the chosen" and your post made me think of that!
God has gotten me through some rough classes, too, and I only pray He'll get me through tomorrow on my final exam for NUR102. If He chooses not too, I know it will be because I simply didn't study enough (I had v. little time!) but if He does, I know once again I will have Him to thank for calling me to nursing and that it was just His will for me to pass!
again, congrats! and thanks for sharing with everyone the power and love of our God!

Good for you! I believe the Lord has truly been there for me every step of the way. Best of luck with the rest of the semester.
