hi, i just wanna vent out for everything in life in particular for this nursing boards..its my 3rd time to take on march..the 2nd time i almost pass.. and now im reviewing trying to pick up the pieces again, but once in a day or at the end of the day it really makes me sad that i didnt do it the 2nd time..my loveone/other half is just so moody/angry and it scares me..he just broke the rosary..i was always thinking its because i cant help him right now in everything else at home like bills etc @ home.. im just so so sad..i know that i became very depress but here i am im trying to get up again and maybe he dont see it.. if someone here who experience like this before taking nclex or prior to it and manage it, please help me..i know in our hearts we r nurses but we r a person too...

i hope that i will pass this time..its been 2006 since i graduate nursing.. and it really hurts me every second of my life now..i just hope people with us will understand how hard it is to get up and i am trying my best and picking up pieces so that when i face the test again i will be ready..just hope they dont act so bad or treat like an idiot...just venting since i am so sad...

Hey hun, I know how you feel because I've graduated in 08 and struggled a lot through out the years. I had my heart broken very badly and struggled with my studies due to that..I couldn't focus because of all the drama n heart ache. After experiencing this, I've learned to just stay strong and not to let things get in my way any longer as it only makes my life more difficult. Anyway, just stay strong hun and keep practicing questions!! And think of this way, if u keep delaying this due to personal problems..ur only making ur own life difficult so it's best to pick up the pieces and move on & u must stay strong n prey n pass this exam. :) goodluck 2 u.

We are on the same boat, my husband is the only one working and shouldering everything, I haven't been into work as we're new here in America. I understand people have different ways of expressing anger. My husband got so depressed too when I failed because he almost got laid off from work and me and kids being new in America know nothing yet except to be eating machines:lol2: he complains... I say nothing, what can I do anyways! as long as I do my responsibilities as a wife and mother. So right now, I am doing my very best to study which he can see and he has been very supportive.

Fight your sadness, depression or whatever it is! no matter what your husband does, cheer up! stay beautiful, be a good partner! don't argue, make him happy in your simple ways and accept what he's feeling coz you are not alone who's life has been a turn around with this da... recession. Study, study, study and PRAY!... We'll get through with this.

You need to get hold of yourself. Your depression and inability to make progress is obviously affecting your husband. He is only human. Please see a doctor to see if there is a medical problem that can be helped. Just study and take the test. Don't put it off. When you get the feelings of sadness, shove them aside and study another question. Good luck.

Hello,

Dont feel defeated. I graduated in 07 and still did not pass the boards and I have tested numerous time. I am overwhelmed. But not discouraged. Keep plucking along.
