hello everyone this is the first time i ever write in something like this, ill get right to the point, i took my nclex pn in december of 2013 went into it really nervous , i had done some on and off studying with saunders for about two months before i took it and crammed for like the last two weeks before my exam. i got up all the way to 205 questions, the whole way through the test i tried so hard to relax myself but everytime someone stood up as they were done i felt more and more anxious and nervous. I left the testing center feeling so low and just crying all the way home, as soon as i got home i did the trick and it let me go all the way to the credit card page. I must say, that according to everyone else ive asked and all the things i have read on allnurses.com the pearson trick is pretty much accurate, if you get the good pop up you passed and if you don't and it lets you go all way you pretty much didn't. two weeks after my exam i got the letter further confirming my fail, i was near passing rate in all of the subjects. i remember a lot of pharmacology and infection control i didn't really get a lot of maternity questions, i did get a couple of sata questions. i remember just answering a lot of everything which to this day i don't know if its good or bad.

i have come on here today for encouragement from those who know where im coming from, im working a 9 an hour job and i feel so terrible about myself not because of my job, im thankful and blessed to have a job, but im dissapointed that im not where i would like to be , last year i pictured myself by now working as an lvn , and helping my mom quit her second job, and supporting my husband more, but yet here i am with so much anxiety towards this test, and struggling financially with not even enough money to retake the test and even more scared now that so much time has passed and it is said that the new NCLEX 2014 has even higher standards than before. everyday since then i try to in my own head jog my own memory on topics and things i remember, and i hope all is not lost after so much time:/ has anyone been in a similar situation? i graduated this time last year , have i let toooo much time pass? anyone have any tips on getting back on the horse? anyone passed since april that have any new study tips for the new nclex? i ask God for guidance , and i know that although i dont have 150 to send in for registration i should still keep studying and not use it as an excuse. i would really appreciate some feedback and tips! thank you for reading! this is the only way i have found comfort in letting my thoughts and feelings out on.
