Bombed CPNE and you'll never guess why

Published

Well, I bombed it. I was a anxiety ridden, crying wreck the whole time. I almost made it. Luckily, I had a scholarship so I'm not out too much money. I was such a wreck this morning I went to the doctor. She listed to my tale of woe and pronounced the I am officially starting menopause! :no: Quite frankly, this bothers me more than failing the CPNE. At least I know why I've been feeling so weird lately. Stupid menopause, why couldn't it have waited a few more months? I felt so out of character. It was like I was a stranger to myself. I'm gonna be a crazy menopausal lady!

I'm gonna go back in a few months and kick this cpne in the butt! I got low dose Xanax and it really helps. However, I'm still in shock - menopause! OMG!

Luckily, God doesn't close the door without opening a window. I had received a call for a job as a hospice nurse one month ago. I turned down the interview because of the cpne. Well Friday, when I was gone, they called again. I called back and accepted the interview. It's great opportunity and I really wanted to pursue it, but couldn't. I guess they can't fine anybody qualified for the job, and I'm definately qualified. So now I am going to pursue the job. When I get my RN, I can transfer to one of their hospitals or nursing homes, as this is a big company.

So, I can deal with failing the CPNE and I can deal with changing jobs, but I just cannot deal with menopause. :grn: Holy you know what!

Just give it your best shot on the 2nd attempt. I, too, have to go back for a 2nd time. I blew the labs, but passed my 2 PCS's without a problem. All the others in my group failed at least 1 PCS. My errors on the labs were just dumb. I covered every step, just had a few weird things happen. I will ace it the next time around and so will you! Best of luck to you!

I bombed the first time. Xanax and cowbell for you, baby!

And I was done with the change by 50. Pearl Harbor's anniversary, actually. 2003. Last one ever. The only thing I miss is ovulation and the rush of desire. Other than that, buh-bye!

You'll nail it.
