What are your guys/girls motivation?

I took mine a long time ago but the motivation was the same as it is now when I get up to go to work. I like getting my bills paid.

Really? You need us to answer that?

How about I just went to school for x amount of years and I'll be damned if I can't pass this......

I only ask because after answering practice questions, sometimes because of my score I feel like I don't know anything...

I also took my NCLEX years ago!! Graduated 16 years ago, last took boards about 6 years ago. I have never been this motivated to pass. I have to say, having iPhone apps with test questions is very helpful. It seems I am always finding several times throughout the day to answer a few questions. I have been totally overwhelmed with studying so just answering numerous questions and reading rationales has helped me tremendously. I am scoring 65-85% on most of my quizzes. Stay positive, and you have to want it more than anything! I am finally starting to feel confident!!! Good luck

You can say that again.

I kept thinking I can't fail because I can't wait 45 days to retake it. It just was not an option for me.

I had a job before I graduated. Fail NCLEX, lose my job. I also really needed the money an RN makes. That was about all the motivation I needed.

And read books again, not TEXTbooks. And watch TV! And visit with friends! And you never again have to say, "I can't, I have to study".
