:) Hello everyone. I am so depressed. I'm here and LPN for two years. I took boards on Monday 9/12/05. They were so hard. I'm an Ortho nurse. I had so many select all that apply questions. I HATE those type questions, because if you don't select everything the whole thing is wrong. I had 1 fill in the blank, which was a math question ( I know I got that one right). Then I had so many Neuro questions. I was about to freak out. I ended up getting 75 questions. So, I must've been doing very bad.
I just can't believe it. A classmate of mine that went to LPN school with me took her boards that day too. After the test, we talked over the questions and the answers I told her I put along with the choices I had, she would've put the same thing. And, I felt the same way about her questions. She had 75 too. So, to make a long story short she ened up passing and I didn't.
I feel so bad about it. But, I know God knows best. I just don't understand. I do however need some help on studying. We have to wait 45 days, and I'm going back as soon as I can. I have a Saunder's book, Kaplan, and ERI book from a review course we took before finishing school. I feel so overwhelmed. What should I do??? I need help.
dont fret it happens to the best of us and we pull through....i failed the first time i think its the overwhelming stress that goes along with that dreaded test......take this as a bump that millions go through every day ......i know when i failed i was soooo upset i cried and cried and cried for like 8 hours finally my parents cam over and a family had lost their children on the news because of some game they played and all 3 had died and my dad just said "Look at these people nicole, they lost their kids today i know this test was so important to you but things happen but its not the end of the world look what other people are going through right now." It really helped me to calm down because really it wasnt the end of the world and soo many other people are worst off than me for failing my nclex....and you CAN take it again i actually look at it like a vacation for me because i only worked part time 2 days a week and i did the 100 sometimes more a day but still had alot of time off not likeif i would be working full time....its the way u look at it.....my failing made me a stronger person and a better nurse because i really value my career because i worked so hard to get here and it was all worth it....hope this helps keep ure chin up and good luck
