Hello everyone....I took my Nclex pn for the first time on September 17th, 2012 after being out of school for 9 months and studying for months. I worked the night before my test thinking that I would be ok 2pm the next day to test..BIG MISTAKES!!!! When I got to question 77 I was so fatigued and had such a pounding headache I was shocked to see 3 hrs had already passed....At this point I started reading thru the questions fast because I just know I was not doing well...I got all 205 questions the last question I had only 3 seconds to answer which was a drag and drop before I put the items in correct order the computer stopped......I felt so horrible tired sick......my whole body was ached because of lack of sleep. 1 hour after gettin home I did the pvt and of course I fail!!! I 100% blame myself because I know my content labs and 50 most common drugs, the fact that I worked the graveyard shift before was Soooo stupid on my part!!! I don't know what I was thinking!!!!! Now I have to wait 45 days to retest!!!!! I have not opened up my book in a week....feel discouraged....Can someone give some advice on what I should do for the next 6 weeks? Questions or review content? I mean is it ok to take a break after failing or keep reviewing? Any advice is appreaciated, thanks. Oh and thanks for listening to me vent :)
