so when you hit submit, you didnt get a pop up saying our records indicate youve already scheduled this exam, and im sorry keep your head up, im still waiting for my results

I'm sorry.

How did you study? Anything you can identify as a weak point? It's good to see you're already planning to try again.

Have you shown ÿour wife the threads of others who haven't passed first time out?

You're not helping... OP keep your head up. You made it through nursing school so you obviously have the knowledge to pass the exam. Take this time to reflect on what you need to improve. Good luck.

Sorry about the fail but you will do better second time around. I failed the first of my five board tests and still worked as a graduate nurse in the ICU. They had spent so much time training me that it was to their advantage to keep me. When I retook the second time I only had to take the one test and passed it by over 100 more points than I needed. Like you I had worked very hard in nursing school, was a self-supporting student and was devastated. I truly believe my ability to keep working kept me using my knowledge and the support of my "network" helped by reviewing things with me. The second time I was not as anxious, and I was able to leave after I had taken my re-test. I am not sure how they do it today. Do you have to retake the entire test now?? Not passing held up my pay raise etc. but it made me focus on how to study better and how to interpret lab results, put all the puzzle pieces together etc. See if any of your instructors have any study guides for you, disicipline yourself to study every day. You will do fine the second time around. And believe it or not, it never interfered with my professional career, I was just a little slower in getting it done.

Yes ive shown her,she said there would be next time.she's very caring but she was sad and crying when i told her.

I really don't know what's my weakest point as I'm just really surprised how many SATA questions I've encounter. Maybe it was the SATA as their was no problem with the multiple choice.
