9years later

I graduated from nursing school in 2010 with 3 kids, one only being 3.5months old. Due to home circumstances, I never sat for boards. I met my husband in 2014 and he pushed me to sit. I though no way will I ever pass boards. It's been so long, so much has changed, I wouldnt even know where to begin. I bought the Saunders nclex questions and joined a nclex review class online. I sat for boards in 2015 waited 4 hours and tried the perason vue trick and got a "bad pop up" which was confirmed 48hours later when my quick results showed Fail! Figured I had wasted 4 years of school and a lot of money. A couple months ago I decided I was determined to my RN. I went online and purchased the NCLEX Mastery RN for $55 which never expires and I began watching and taking notes on the NCLEX review videos from Sara at Registered nurse RN on YouTube. I studied straight for a good month and did about 100 nclex practice questions a day. I sat for boards 10/26/18 and got 138 questions. I waited 4 hours then tried the pearson vue trick and got a "good pop up" which was confirmed this morning when my quick results showed I passed. Just wanted to give some encouragement to those frustrated. I graduated nursing school 8 years ago and still passed boards.
