Losing Confidence Quickly

:uhoh3:

I have about 10 days until my test and I am slowly losing confidence. This will be my 4th time taking the test, I have studied this time more than ever, I don't know what else to do. I have about 15-20 books that I've done questions in (Mosby, Saunders, Kaplan, etc etc). I just don't what I am going to do if I don't pass this time. I am 25, I have friends my age that have already worked for 3 years as nurses and are moving onto nurse anesthetist school and other things and here I am STILL trying to pass this test. Makes me feel like an idiot for wasting the past 2-3 years and that I should move on to another career because this just doesn't seem to be working out anymore. I want more than anything to pass this time, I have worked hard, put in the time and money, I don't know what else I can do at this point...

I'm sorry to hear that. Did you do Kaplan the first time?

Maybe you have test anxiety? Have you checked into that?

I say pray about it. Prayer helps alot!

Good luck to you! Sending positive vibes your way!

To be honest, I don't think I took it seriously enough the first time, I did questions every few days and maybe 50 a day. Now I've been working one on one with a tutor since last year which has helped me overall, but she doesn't think I am ready to take it, but I can't wait another 3 years or however long it's going to end up taking me to pass. Thanks for the positive vibes though and I have been praying, so has everyone close to me.

Im very very sorry for you, i hope to you pass this time. Its really coming from my heart.. i too will be taking my test for the SECOND time, and wanting it to be my LAST time! I want to get my RN, so many of my friends already passed the first time, and here i am still studying. .. I know exactly how you feel.. please pray for me, as i will also pray for you..you will pass this time, i know you will, God tests the ones he loves and this is only a test, please keep us posted on your progress. and good luck..
