lack of confidence


So I graduated school from the LVN/LPN program in 2005 and ever since I've taken the Nclex twice...and here I am still license-less. I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Maybe I'm not studying enough? As time progress my confidence declines...what if my knowledge is all rusted now? I've been going through a stage of depression causing me to stop studying and believing in myself.

I won't give up. I want to be a nurse so much. I plan to take review classes and do whatever it takes to pass. Any suggestions and/or tips for studying??

Also what jobs can I get without having a nursing license? (considering I failed twice...)

Thanks

Sorry to hear that you failed the exam. I would consider working as CNA, maybe, but that is very hard, backbreaking work. Many people speak of Suzanne's study plan in the NCLEX forum. You may consider doing that, in addition to a review course. Also, Kaplan's Strategy for Success for NCLEX-PN was very helpful to me.

I would assume that it is very hard to walk into an exam that you failed without serious apprehension. But, now, you do know that the exam can be a bit unpredictable and strange.
