Wheres God?

Published

I feel that with my multiples failures on nclex that why did I bother going back to school for my RN. I would have spared myself the embarassment of failing the boards three times. I am spending almost as much money on nclex retesting than I have on my last semester at school. $800.00 and counting. That includes the fourth retake. I am so bitter and disgusted right now that when people say pray; I said be for real god did not create nclex! Where was god during my past failures? There is no divine reason why I failed this exam so many times. I think god has been on vacation when it comes to nclex. I know that is a terrible thing to say but that is how I feel. I have sacrificed enough. BTW that Saunders book everybody is talking about is just a Q&A book among the many others I already have. My confidence is gone and I am numb. What is the point of spending more money on useless courses like Kaplan and ATI; which I have done already. There is something I am not getting with this exam. I feel that if I do not get the first question right on the nclex exam I'm toast. This is my problem I am just at the end of my rope. :angryfire:o:uhoh3::madface:

I know it seems like God is letting this test get the best of you but,...... God is not there to watch us suffer. He loves you...He sent His son to die for you..... So why have you taken the test several times and failed. Maybe you are reading to much into the questions that was always my problem and I focused on all the wrong information in the question.

I have been a nurse for 11 years and I did only take the test once but it does not matter how many times you take it, just that you do and pass. You are already a nurse you passed several years of nursing school. That is a great success!!!!!!!:yeah:

Don't beat yourself up, act like you have amnesia about the faliures. Just take the test like it is the first time, do not stress about it. Relax the night before and STOP STUDYING!!!! Just relax. Be calm when you go in. Try not to stress during the test just answer the questions as they come do not go over and over them. Just stick with your first answer that pops in your head. You know your stuff or you would not have passed Nursing school.:nurse:

Do you know what they call a medical student who failed his medical boards 5 times before passing???? They call him Doctor.

You have already proved you can pass, because you have not quit.

We all know you can do this.....:yelclap: SO Go and pass this thing!!:icon_hug:

With love and prayers for you

PS I weill be waiting and watching for the good news:w00t:

derngrad you know...reading all the posts here on your created thread,it seems that things are getting more complicated between your prayer request to pass the nclex but failed it and who god really is?

ul get lots of opinions frm all of us here and thats a sure ball but with all my heart, i want to tell you that the answer to your question is cannot be answered perfectly by all of us. alot of opinions,flaws,approval, disagreement etc...name it! youll get it all here but you will never be satisfied. we are just humans,imperfect beings. no one knows why even the most intelligent people fail an important exam.peole around keep asking them.."why?? why?? how did that happen? how did you fail?" or might as well say.."thats impossible to happen! you cant fail!" i feel as i was reading your replies, it really tells that the nclex, being an rn isnt just a big thing for you, but ur treating it something more than how it shud b treated, it seems like its the biggest thing for you, it almost covers your whole entity as a person. greaving process is normal and ur on it no wonder. mybe ur right, theres no problem on how you review, how you prepare for the nclex but as a person but if youre not getting what you are praying for to god, there is something about it, that only him can answer...i strongly disagree to what the other person here has said about god being a proxy and your self as the source of the real power. i cant advice anything more but to sincerely pray for you that god will give you the wisdom to understand his true main purpose for all this. again i encourage you, talk to god in a normal way...seek for him humbly with all of your heart. read the bible. not just for the sake of nclex, try to go beyond the nclex or being an rn.

daniel 1:17 says, "to these four young men god gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. and daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds."

people may think that "yeah god did that, but to daniel and not to me".. but the point here is daniel is just like us, humans. god can give you exactly what you need,greater than what you can ask for and above all, he will give you what is best. not just the good things, but the best things in your life. in fact he is longing to give and bless you, all he wants from you is to ask for it "accordingly to his will, not for something elses sake ..and wait for his perfect time"

isaiah 30:18 says...

but the lord longs to show you his favor.he wants to give you his tender love. the lord is a god who is always fair. blessed are all those who wait for him to act!

It was not my intention to start a theological debate about Wheres God when it comes to NCLEX. I was just venting. Being an RN is very important to me. Who else would spend untold sums of money on tuition, books, and supplies and put myself through a clinical minefield where that if you make two mistakes no matter how minor you are out of the program. Remember clinical variance? Let me be the one to put this thread to rest. I appreciate all of the responses, but its time to move on.

I agree with you and wish you only the best of luck. Please let us know so we can celebrate with you. You can ask the moderators to close this thread, if that's what you wish. I agree it has gotten out of hand, not hateful, just out of context. Again, best of luck. You may PM me anytime you just need to vent.

derngrad, just hang in there and keep on trying.

I don't think God has much to do with the NCLEX-RN. Maybe some other entity. ;)

Don't give up.

Dutchgirl RN I think your post was so on point. I agree with derngrad posts are to vent. If you have not been in her shoes you would not know just how she feel. I understand because I failed as well and the Lords knows I really feel like giving up but I have to press on to the mark of the high calling. This has truly been a test of my faith and it is very hard to get back up when you feel you have been down for so long. I feel like I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. After studying so hard and making so many sacrifices you feel like you are hit by a mack truck after you have failed. I know just how you feel. If you ever want to vent again you can PM me and I will be there to listen.
