hi all.. new to this website.. my name is maureen.. new grad (june 07) and i started working 3 weeks after graduation.. didnt take my nclex till sept. which i failed the first time =(.... i dont understand why either.. i felt confidant walking in, then once i sat down at the computer i literally froze and freaked out.. everyone else in the room taking their own tests kept distracting me.. i felt like i had an anxiety attack!!!
anyways.. needless to say i had to stop working but my boss is saving my job for me, pending i pass the 2nd time==which is TOMORROW!!! (oct 23rd) all those out there that feel for me.. please say a prayer im so nervous.... i get very worked up over tests.. get physically ill when im stressed--i.e. vomiting, diarrhea.. (sorry if its gross)... but im driving myself crazy because im so nervous...
tomorrow is my test.. any suggestions from anyone out there?!?!?!?!?!?!?! i need support.. my boyfriend has no idea what im going through.. he barely finished high school and this nursing degree is my 2nd degree and i have a great job waiting for me.. just this test is holding me back from living my life!!!! HELP!!!!!!!! :barf01:

Nothing can keep you down for long when you're determined to succeed. Look past the frustrations of the moment and you'll see that they're just stepping stones on your path to ultimate fulfillment.

When something is blocking your path, just go around it, and keep on moving. Pausing to dwell on the unfairness of it all, will only serve to waste your time and effort. Keep moving in the direction you've set for yourself.

Each moment is a triumph when you decide to make it so. Whether something can help you or hurt you is totally up to you. Your experiences are what you choose to make them. The power of your own determination can cause anything to work in your favor.

Go for it! You can do it when you decide to do it. Use your determination to make life happen for you.
