I haven't forgotten you guys

Published

I'm just getting close to re-testing and am trying to lessen my angst, so I'm staying out for now.

Talk to you in a few weeks.

:)

Good luck! You will nail this!

Thanks again. DH is coming with me this time - he's good at talking me down from the ledge.

You want to know a terrible thing? And I'm pretty embarrassed about this, and a little ashamed. I feel jealous when other people post that they passed and I know I have a butt load of congratulations to offer when I can face it.

Thanks for being there, all, and I hope for understanding that I'm a selfish witch right now.

You know what, Sue? I think that's natural! And a confession from me: I felt guilty posting that I had passed when I knew that you hadn't, because I know you're a great nurse and so freakin' smart, and I feel like you deserve this as much as I do, if not MORE than I do!

You are not being selfish. Being in CPNE-mode is being in survival mode, self-preservation mode.

All good things will come to you this time around. Remember that the CPNE does not measure your intellect, your compassion, or even your nursing abilities. It only measures your ability to take this one exam.

Breathe, relax and go do what you are meant to do.

Good luck Sue!

Thanks so much, everyone.

Lunah, I was SO glad you passed! This is such a stinky way to feel, because it isn't really jealousy, I guess it's more a feeling of failure (which I did) and inadequacy, and when others pass it reinforces that they could and I couldn't, y'know?

Goodness knows you deserved it, and I am really happy for everyone who passes - but it's mixed in with feeling like a big ol' idiot.
