Dear Mr. Gapuz,
Hi! I just want to share my story on how I successfully passed the NCLEX-RN exam on March 20, 2009. I got my BSN degree on march of 2000 in the Philippines. When I married my husband in 2003, I moved to South Korea with him and from then on I already started reviewing for the NCLEX the K--- book. Feb of 2004 we moved to New York. In April I attended the K--- review center. I got my ATT in October of the same year, December I took my very first (ourt of 10) NCLEx-RN exam and I failed. It was so Sad, but then I gotta move on. To cut the story short, I kept taking it, but no success, until one day, somebody told me that i should attend E---Nursing review in Chicago, so I did. But unfortunately it didn't work for me again. It worked for others but not for me. I failed the 6th and 7th time. Then 2007 we moved to Maryland coz my husband who just came back form Iraq found a jobe here. I also found a job here and while working I tried m best to prepare for the exam. So I took the exam the 8th and 9th time bu again, unsuccessful Until one day, a friend of mine recommended the ABC's of Foreign Nursing Exam. I seriously read the book for 2 months then I bought the NCLEX-RN in a Flash at amazon.com because it was all sold out at borders and barnes and nobles.I religiously read the book and studied harder. Finally, I found the way in tackled attacking the questions. The contents of the book are actually the items that ussually are being tackled in the actual exam. Let me just tell you, I don't really like reading that much but this book made me addictive to it. With prayers and serious study habits. I passed the test ont he 10th take. I am not ashame on saying " I took it 10 times". It is my way of encouraging people people that there is sill a way of passing this very challenging test and it's the Gapuz Way. I thank God for giving us such a very talented and gifted author such as Mr. Ray Gapuz. Thank you so much Sir for all your books. I never thought I could ever make it. I almost gave up but God didn't give up on me. Sir, I hope you won't stop helping those people achieve their dreams. God sent you here on earth with a purpose. Thank you so much!
And also let me tell you, I lost my mother in May 11,2008 that was mothers day, then 7 months after that I lost my brother too on Dec 25, 2008. Christmas Day, It was a depressing year for me last year. but I told myself, everything comes for a reason. My husband told me not to give up coz God said that He will take care of His Children, just have Faith, God is Good!
I just Wanna tell you also that the prayer in the yellow book is a very powerful prayer. I hope that book will be published too here in the states. I have some friends from California and UK and also my cousing from Boston who are now asking their relatives from the Philippines to buy them the ABC's for Foreign Nursing Exams. You know what, though I already passed the NCLEX I still want to t keep the book for my future reference.
Thank you so much Sir for all your help! Please continue to help the future nurses.
....And this is my story ...
