Denise, so sorry to hear this. Remember, you passed the CPNE, so you will pass this. You just need a little more cowbell. Don't worry about the people at work, they should understand. Get yourself together and look at the calendar and pick out a new date. You can do this.

my husband wants me to take a week off and do nothing but relax and do what i want..so i think that is what i am going to do...this is complete devastation to me regardless if i can retest or not. i have my date picked out and will attack this thing like i did the cpne...i feel like such a failure and this has really blown my nurse ego almost to the point i may not be able to work tomorrow..i really need to get myself together cause i am just falling apart...

Call off tomorrow and sleep and rest and eat and relax just like your husband suggests. Some rest will do you good right now. Take care of yourself for awhile.

Take the week like your husband suggested and rest. As for the people at work, let them know you are not beaten just a temporary stumbling block. I suspect you are being much harder on yourself than your fellow workers will be! Just from your posts you seem genuine and kind and would imagine you have a lot of fellow workers who will come to you with hugs and support!So sorry about this, but God has a great plan for you and I bet something even better is going to come your way:)

Definately take time off. Maybe that's what you really need. I know you can pass this test. But you need to rest now and recoup. Don't worry about your coworkers. Your real friends at work will understand. The others, oh well, you don't really need them anyway. :redpinkhe

:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeat:heartbeatdenise ,i am so sorry to hear the awful news. please take your husbands advice and take time off to relax, regroup and relieve some stress. you have worked so hard the last year.

you will pass on the next try! for now, don't even think about when you will retest. enjoy some time that doesn't envolve studying, preparing etc, etc.

Denise, I am sorry you did meet your goal today. If I don't remember anything else, I remember that you were never a quitter before, don't start now. You are a very strong, bright woman and you will pull thru this. God Bless!

*hugs* Denise, I am so sorry! But I know you'll get it next time. I am always in awe of you and all that you've accomplished, and that hasn't changed! You rock, girl. No matter what!

Denise, I know you'll read thid and probably roll your eyes: but take a little break from work, relax, pull yourself together, and then plan for what is next.

As for your coworkers, well, in my mind no one on this earth can make you or break you, and certainly not what they may think. This is for you, and yours no one else, remember that.

Your husband is a smart man.. I too would take off and relax and have some time for YOU. This is only a temporary setback. Good luck!
