Feeling like failure. Not happy in my life.

Nursing Students NCLEX

Published

I am very depressed and I went online seeking free help because I am so unhappy and life is not getting any better for me. I took the PN exam today for the second time. I got 205 questions this time just like the first time. I felt ok with the first 50 to 60 questions, but things started making me nervous when i went past 85. I should have rescheduled my exam because other things in my life are not working out. Past 6 weeks i studied my a^^ off and I can't seem to get ahead. I made A's and B's in school. What has happened to me? I don't see the point in taking it a 3rd time. I can't afford it. I borrowed for the 2nd test and now I just say screw it. I should have not taken it today. I am kicking myself.

Please do not give up, there are many of us that feel your pain with not passing the NCLEX. I have failed twice and preparing to test for the third time. So, keep your head up and think positive!!!! We can and will pass the NCLEX!

hang in there....!!! just remember don't give up...you can do it.:wink2:

I feel the same way. I can't seem to pass this exam yet I graduated with a GPA of 3.7 in nursing school. All of my classmates seemed to pass and all have jobs, yet here I am jobless with student loans that kick in next month. I tried so many different things and ways to study...i am lost

we all have our shares of feeling unhappy, dissatisfaction, disappointment,, all that stuff...but we were created in such a way that we could bounce back and get up from where we are right now...so don't give up...hold on a little longer.

I'm sorry you didn't pass I know how it feels because I have not passed my nclex-rn boards twice now. It is hard and really makes you feel depressed at first but you got to keep your head up! I really isn't the end of the world life will go on and you aren't the only one who hasn't passed. You will pass though but you may just struggle with test taking more than others like me. Like you I also got pretty good grades in school so it's not all about how well you did in school its about your test anxiety and how well you take tests. So just relax for a little while give your self time for it to settle back in and start studing when you are ready. Also do not rush into your test for the third time God will let you know when it's time to take your test again and he will help you come up with the money needed. Hope that helps :) Good luck!

dont give up GOD is good and if you did fail dont quit

Completely understand. I have lived this way for years.

Hope the OP passed this time or retested and passed by now.

Hi, what I can say is most importantly DONT GIVE UP! I failed nclex pn twice already and preparing to take it the 3rd time around. I received my ATT last week, but havent scheduled yet because money is an issue. But im hoping I can take it end of April, if not beginning May. It really sucks right now cause i am unemployed and my unemployment will only be lasting 2 more months. But im not giving up. I am currently doing the Learning Extension Review which is similar to the NCLEX. it has helped me alot most especially in tackling the questions. Just keep trying and trying. i know its a lot of money, but think of it this way: once you passed you will earn again the money you paid for the exam and in the long run it will be worth it. GOD is good and HE knows whats best for us! PRAY PRAY PRAY and by the time you know it you will be a NURSE!!!!

I don't believe God has taken you to the finish line just so that you can look at it. No, he has taken you there to cross over it. You are to close to fall out of the race now. Sometimes in life we have to do thing that we have never done before to get to places that we have never been before, so , I say to you, take a firm grip on your emotions and let God handle them and while he's working that out for you P.U.S.H through the process (pray until something happens), renew your mind and change your study pattern up a bit. I will be fasting and praying on your behalf that God will open the door and release a yes answer for you. Hang in there and keep running the race.
