I failed LS2!!!

[lacnola]

Today I took LS2 feeling so confident only to find out i made a D!! When the guy at the testing center handed me the paper and I saw the grade I wanted to fall on the ground and cry. I have been so motivated and was scheduled to take LS3 two weeks from today. Now I just feel like everything is crushed. This was the first exam that I did not pass, I just keep going over it and over it in my head. Worst of all I feel so mad at myself because I shouldnt have pushed myself that much. If I would have rescheduled the exam back probaly even a few days I might have passed. Now I have to wait an extra 60 days to retake the exam, which totally ruins everything. I was rushing to finish quick because I have my dream RN position waiting for me and now she probaly wont be able to hold the position that long. I feel so devasted that I just want to give up! Sorry for the venting, but i needed to get it out, and I know you guys will understand! Ughhhh :crying2:

Hey I know it sounds horrible that you didn't pass, and you are probably feeling bad, but I think you should never give up, especially if nursing is a dream of yours. I am on the process of applying to nursing programs, and when I received my first letter of rejection I thought that was the end of it, and that I was never going to apply to any school, but since my nursing dream is bigger than my disappointment I decided to forget everything and try again, so now here I am waiting once again to see if I get accepted into the nursing program, and if by any chance I don't get accepted this time, I will keep trying until I get in, that's why I think you should never give up.

Sorry to hear that you didn't pass. It is a terrible feeling when you don't get the grade you are hoping for. Just don't give up, that is the most important thing to remember. You will pass, you will succeed, you will achieve your dream! You just hit a speed bump, you need to regroup and do what you need to do to get where you want to be. I have read on here before where people have called EC and gotten the wait time to retest reduced.

Remember - YOU WILL DO THIS! YOU WILL GET YOUR RN!!

If the job you want can't wait then maybe it is Devine intervention, and maybe there will be a position even better out there for you when you do finish!

GOOD LUCK!! PRAY! PRAY! PRAY! you will succeed!

Don't give up just keep pushing through your exams and come back to LS2. Did you use the practice exams? I remember there being a lot of repeat questions for LS2 and LS3 on the practice exams.

Good Luck!

[lacnola]

Yes.. I normally do all the practice exams.. but for this test I never did part b due to time. I also tried studying differently and that was just a bad idea. Lol I am gonna try calling EC to see if they will waive the wait. Thanks y'all im feeling better about it.

Whatever you do don't give up I did the same thing got a D on LS 2 then three weeks later got a D on LS 3. I also changed the way I was studying to try and speed it up - never works!!! Go back to the way you learn best and you will pass - I did, I went back to the way I knew would work - took my time and passed. I am waiting on my FCCA and up next CPNE. Just my Good Luck you can do this!!!

Can you do LS 3 test while waiting to retake LS 2?

[Nervous1]

Move on to LS3 and when you pass it in 2 weeks call EC and ask them to waive the waiting period for the retake. Don't lose momentum, just keep going!

[Raggedy Ann]

you will pass! this was just an expensive pretest, and now you know your weak areas. ~ cyber hugs!

[lacnola]

Can I do ls3 while waiting to retake ls2? I wasn't sure since I thought they had to order..but I guess I still am

[Lunah, MSN, RN]

Yes, you can do the nursing exams in any order as long as you're an enrolled student.

Did they ever waive it for you?
