OMG, why am i being punished? after spending each day studying and preparing for this damn exam, only to find out I failed!!!! This time, my computer went all the way up to 110. What the hell am I doing wrong???? Ive used Kaplan q banks, hurst review, Saunders, finished the lacharity book and read the 35 page study guide. I feel like such a failure! how could this be? this is the last time i waste my money on quick results for this money hungry company!!!
I got very good grades all through out University,high school and Nursing school. In fact Nursing is my second degree and now the only thing preventing me from working is this cursed computerized RN examination!! Im so angry, depress, defeated!! Ive already wasted 400 dollars taking this exam, now Im gonna have to pay another 200, OMG!! This aint fair, upon all the prayers, sacrifices, constant studying, yet it feels like Kaplan didnt help at all!! alot of stuff on the exam were things ive never heard of , nor studied. So much for prayers and hard work. Ive already told myself that if I dont pass this exam, then suicide is an option.
I'm glad you're better! I know is our dream to be nurses, our time will come because is a desire in our heart! I graduated in 2012 had tested twice in 2012 & 2013 failed. I've been working as Medical Assistant. After my 2nd test I began studying at my own pace everyday. Did hurst when over their material many, many times. Also did Kaplan book and did questions everyday just to keep it a habit & not forget anything. My director contacted me and offered me ATI Virtual with online coach I began the program June 23, 14 and did all the material she asked me to do. Then she gave me a predictor test which I score a 93% of passing. I actually tested two weeks ago and I have not heard nothing from my state board, CA. My road has been very bumpy but I'm not giving up. I hope I can give you hope and inspiration to continue. You can do it! All at its right time. I'll keep you in my prayers. :)
If this is more than you can handle please get some professional help asap. Allow yourself to grieve but know it is a process that you will recover from. Some of us truly understand your heavy heart because we have been where you are. Give yourself some time and I bet your prospective will change. Don't give up on life or on nursing if it is your hearts desire. You are in my prayers.
I did practice questions on the NCLEX 3000 for LPN, and the 4000 for RN. I didn't use Kaplan or any other resource. Practicing at least 100 questions a day (for over 3 months), I enhanced my computer test taking skills, HOW to read and understand questions, and answer them with the best rationale. Just from your example--you have good grades, did well in school--it sounds like you have a lot of test anxiety, and maybe need some more practice with the computer testing.
SUICIDE IS NOT AN ANSWER! It is never the answer. Please talk to a medical professional, or call the Suicide Hotline, to get help with your frustration, anxiety, and disappointment.
The pain and disappointment will pass, I promise. There are better days on the horizon, and we are all rooting for you!
