Lost?

Published

Hi eveyone..

i know it's a shallow thing to feel but i can't help it. I feel lost and somehow depress from the pressure of studying for my upcoming NCLEX this September.

I was in the middle of my usual review with the saunders book in the library.. Then.. Bam.. I stoped. I was lost. I had no motivation.... All of a sudden all my eagerness and excitment halted. Then I stopped reviewing. I'm like this for about a week now. Yes a week.

I have no one to vent this out because i am far away from my family. And i dont think they will understand. I dont even want to tell this to my husband because because i know what he's going to say or not say. He cant handle emotions so i dont want to get into that zone with him.

I know i just need to review and and focus on it and not be bothered about anything bad happening around me. Being a nurse is my dream and i want to pass the nclex to fulfill it. Or at least whatever happens with the exam at least i knew that i gave it my all. Not the way i am right now stagnant and going no where :cry:

I hope tomorrow would be a better day for me.

did you take a break after you graduated nursing school? many people take a little break after they graduate nursing school to give their minds a much need rest from the stress of getting through nursing school. if you haven't taking a mini vacation from studying maybe this is what you need to revitalize and refocus on the task at hand. if you find that you can not study do not force it because most likely you will not retain any informaion during these times. take some time off get refocused and start studying you have plenty of time.

ps. sorry sometimes i can be real long-winded.:up:

Is there any way you would be ready to test now? I have read that the sooner after graduation you test the higher the pass rate. I can't imagine having to try and study for months on top of having studied for years in school. No wonder you can't keep your motivation going. For my LPN and RN I tested within 3 weeks and by that point I was ready to burn my books, lol. Just something to consider. Best of luck, Jules
