I know how you feel. 45 days ago I failed too. I was sad, depressed and upset too. Give yourself a few days to pick up the pieces and then wipe your slate clean. I re-took mine yesterday and I passed. I really recommend the hurst review! It really made everything click for me. Marlene hurst is wonderful and so funny that it makes studying easy. If you do it online you can watch the videos over and over. So much of what she said showed up on my test. I also recommend the Lacharity prioritization and delegation book, its great practice at those types of questions!
Dont be too hard on yourself though, you ARE smart! You graduated nursing school and that is tough!! It is just a test and will not determine what kind of nurse you will be. You CAN do this. I know it is easy for me to say now but I truly believe that it was a blessing for me to fail the first time, God was telling me to slow down, and re-evaluate. I feel so much more confident after taking the hurst review and I think it will make me a better nurse.
Best of luck to you!!
