I failed again, I'm done!

I am really in disbelief right now. I took the Transitions to RN test today. The computer did not give on screen results; but as I stood up after taking the test.... I felt great, I was like wow that was easy... I'm sure I got a "B" Then I went over to the resistration desk and the lady hands me my results and states, "I'm sorry."

Huh?!? That's impossible, how did I fail this!

I passed Microbiology, I passed Health Saftey, I passed Chronicity, I passed Reproductive.

Did fiine.

Then last month I took HDLS 1 and failed; I shook it off, new i was just pushing myself toooooo hard. So I took a break, two weeks off, just to rejuvanate and rethink my studing plan.

Then today failing Transitions.

I QUIT! I'm done!

Just can't do anymore. I have lost the last six months of my life, the most important to me... my family. I have totally neglected my five year old daughter and every day have felt guilty and selfish for ALL THE HOURS I put into studing. And for what... Nothing!

I'm just too upset and can't possibly see another failing grade.

Take at least part of the summer off from studying. Sometimes we just burn out and need a break.

You can make this work!

I agree ... take some time off, and come back when the pain isn't quite as fresh.

However, if you do continue with EC, it sounds like you need to change up your study strategy. I know you like quick facts/notes and you don't want to read pages and pages, but sometimes that's what it takes with subjects that are less than familiar.

Whatever you decide, remember that not passing a test doesn't make you a failure. Hang in there!

Try not to give up now you are about halfway...maybe just taking alittle break will help with some fun time..doing somethings your really enjoy...when you decide to get back into swing of studying try to take it slowly....maybe spend a day in between doing some find things with your child or just a few hours and sometime for yourself as well...Try not to beat yourself..failure at times only means we may need a break...You can do this :)
