I have looked forward to this day for a while now. It’s been almost 3 years since graduation in 2014 and 5 attempts later, I finally can say, I beat the NCLEX BEAST!! All Praise and Glory to Jesus who made it possible.
A summary of my journey- 1st attempt I signed up for KAPLAN and it was a total waste of my money. Fast forward 2 attempts later, a friend told me about UWORLD, I was skeptical cos I had already been through several – Saunders, La Charity and delegation book, NCSBN, HURST, REMAR review, happy nclex etc. and still failed. After my 3rd try, I decided to quit assuming all reviews are the same and just give it a try.
I used UWORLD as my main tool alongside Mark Klimex audio. My scores were looking pretty good. I was scoring in the 50s, 60s and 70s so I felt comfortable and I scheduled my exams but failed yet again. At this point, I didn’t know what else to do, I had no one to turn to as I had shut every one out. I had done everything I felt I was supposed to do, my family had suffered neglect, I had become bitter and angry and needed answers. What exactly is going on? What is responsible for my failing streak? UWORLD was supposed to the final stop, why did I fail again?
I started reading other postings on the forum on how people used UWORLD and what made them successful. Only then did I realize that my approach had been wrong all along. THOSE RATIONALES MAKE OR BREAK YOU. I had not paid as much attention to understand the rationales so I wasn’t getting the most out of the program.
As I entered into March, for every testimony I read on the forum, I told myself – IT’S MY TURN NEXT!!!
I scheduled my exams for Wednesday April 19th – 2 pm and armed with my new discovered tool, I prepared.
D-Day- circa 213 questions in the longest 6 hours of my life, I came out of the testing center drained, scared and worried. All I could say to God was – Lord, show me mercy. I honestly could not imagine going through the pain again.
I refused to pay for the quick result but by the weekend I couldn’t take it anymore so I logged on to my state BON site and my name popped up. “When the lord turns the captivity of zion, we were like those that dream…. “it felt like a dream but alas, it was real!! I cried so hard it was ridiculous. God did it for me. He gave me the strength and courage to carry on. UWORLD and Mark Klimex helped me with the tools I needed.
PRAISE GOD!! MY TURN FINALLY CAME!!
If you are discouraged, just know that you can do this. If God could help me beat this, He can do the same for you as well.
If there is anything you can take away from this post- just remember:
1) Trust GOD- He can do exceedingly, abundantly, above all we can ask or imagine
2) Trust yourself- Don’t give up (U can’t afford to). You may fall but don’t stay down. GET UP, DUST YOURSELF AND STAND AGAIN.
3) Keep your head up.
4) Again – TRUST God cos ultimately, HE IS IN CHARGE!!
He makes ALL things beautiful in His Time. You are the next RN!!
