failed for the 2nd time again. :(

[sweetmya]

I had such high hopes this time and many were counting on me. I can't even begin to describe the feelings I have. I feel like a failure, hopeless and helpless. But I know I must pick myself up again and face reality although I may feel like it's the end of the world.

Anyway, I came on here for some word of encouragement and for advice. I focused mainly on Saunders book + cd but had no luck. I sort of followed Susans plan n failed at that as well. I would like to take a different approach this time. Because last time, I focused on the book itself & I heard it's best to just practice questions?? If that's the case, which book cd should I follow the most? I'm willing to buy couple of different cds & retake my test asap. Please post few cd names that helped you out on the most so I could go to Barnes n nobles tomo and purchase them. Thanks. Oppsss I forgot to post what I'm studying for: LVN/LPN

Give yourself a few days to grieve and get through the bad feelings. Then make your plan to study for your next try. Don't feel bad for long. Lots of people require multiple tries before they are successful. This is not the easiest test you know. Good luck on your next attempt.

Hi~ im sorry to hear that you didn't pass your second time. I too, didn't pass my second time and now in the process of preparing for my third which i already scheduled eek! I took like 5 days off from studying and then picked myself up. It's still hard to concentrate but im trying my best. I got exam cram and think its similar to the nclex. Also, the book is not overwhelming for content review. I got it for $35 at barnes and nobles. I wish you the best of luck. Let me know if i can be any support. We can do this!!

I used only 3 books. And today i got latter and i passed PN exam

Dont read only review book wether its saunder or any book. Becuase saunder has lot of info which is very hard to remeber everything... U must have review book only for reference ( If u dont know any disease then go and look in review book ) but do lot of questions from cd or book......the more u do questions then more u will be able to crack answer.. I have learned lot of things from Exam cram question and answer book, which has only 1000 questions and the way they write very helpful. So do 5000 to 6000 thousands questions

As u know every disease has sign and symtoms which is look like same for everyone like headache dizziness nausea so dont focued sign and symptoms because in board u will get only 2 or 3 signs and symptoms question ....so focus on something good.......

i got lot of question like which pt need private room? or If pt has this type of disease then which roomate is good for him? U need to know when u need to wear gloves gown mask very important.....hope my advice will help u

i can write more but u gonna have difficult to read everything.

Ya, I've used few books n focused mainly on saunders but still failed. I don't know what I'm weak on. I don't think it's the material I'm reading..I think it's just the anxiety that screws me up during exam time.
