What did you use to study? I loved the Saunders CD ROM that came witht he book. It was by far I think the closest to the exam. I also bought Mosby's Study cards. It came in a nice little box...and I just took them everywhere with me. That way if I had to wait somewhere...I'd do 5-10 questions.

I'm in the same boat as you, I failed my Nclex and I too paniced its like I couldn't think of anything just what number I was on and why it wasn't shuting off and then I just went blank and I know it was just the anxiety and knowing that my whole career depended on passing this exam. I am using the Saunder comprehenisve review book (doing the study plan by Suzzane) and so far its going well alot of the material I was tested on is in this book, along with material I completely forgot!!! Also another thing that jepordized my studying was going from one book to another, stick to one, its been better for me.. Hope this helps and I will pray for both of us.
