Nursing School makes me feel dumb

Published

I'm exhausted, overwhelmed, anxious, and burned out. I took my exit Hesi today, to graduate my school requires 925, and I failed it....for the second time. My score is basically the same- 863 vs 868. I subleased my apartment for the summer so I have nowhere to live, while I take these required remediation sessions that are probably not going to help.

Hopelessness r/t Hesi Exit as evidenced by frustration, tears, and utter despair.

I feel embarrassed, stupid, and I literally want to graduate and be done with these four years of hell. I had a residency lined up to start in July but I guess that's not going to happen since I can't take NCLEX. I had everything in my life in order and now everything is in utter chaos.

You only get 2 tries? Dont be discoureged, Hesi predicts over 92% chance of passing NCLEX with a score of 850 and above , so I dont get why your school wants a 925, thats overkill, thats probably like a 99% chance of passing NCLEX.

Just step back and study a bit more, focus on your weak areas and go for it one more time if you can.

Don't become discouraged. I know it's hard not to, but you truly do have what it takes to pass. You have made it this far; you can definitely finish.

Study the weakest areas and go from there. Dedicate a certain amount of time each day to go over areas you do not feel knowledgeable in. Seek assistance from faculty and take whatever advice they have.

Does HESI provide a review guide for NCLEX? I had to take the ATI Comprehensive Predictor (equivalent exit exam) and I just studied the guide they gave us and answered many practice questions.

Hang in there. Practice makes perfect.

I found the HESI NCLEX review book very very helpful for the exit Hesi. I used the LaCharity NCLEX review book to help study as well.
