I know we all go through this anxiety but I feel really defeated. I put my family through a lot to do nursing school. I feel confident in my nursing abilities but have always been a lousy test taker. I knew before going in that 265 questions usually means that the computer needs that maximum time to determine your competence. I also knew in my heart that I'd get all 265 questions. I sure did and it took almost the whole 6 hours. It's not a coincidence. I really think that I failed. So far all of my classemates passed at 75 questions. I feel sad because my family and kids want me back in regular life again. I felt like I failed. Most of the people who passed said that too but I really think the question amount spells it out for me. I knew I was struggling and the number of questions discouraged me. I was getting arrogant too because everyone has been passing despite saying it was horrible. Never say never but I don't feel hopeful. I can't go through this all again. I'll probably get 265 again too. It was brutal and my family was so hoping I'd pass. They have really taken sacrifices for me. All of my classmates know I took the test today and are rooting for me. They are nice folks but I wint be able to hide my embarrassment for being the only one that failed. Sorry, Debbie Downer over here. I just needed to talk to someone. I'm trying to seem strong and confident for my kids. I need to take the mask off for a minute. To make matters worse, my current employer has hired me as a nurse to start tomorrow. They were being assuming I'd pass and I'll have to tell them not so fast. Thank you, bless your hearts.
