Why is that NC nurses salary is so low for such a high cost of living area?!?! I'd take a major pay cut if I move back down there!!!

I'm throwing in the towel. I've tried everything. I'm now broke and NCLEX has had me lose my passion to be a nurse. I can't even afford to re-register for another shot. The hospital that hired me as a GN let me go because they hired me to be a nurse and it's been too long for them to wait. They gave me another chance after the first time, but they had to sever ties with me. Thank you NCLEX for destroying my dreams with your ******** questions that do not pertain to real world situations. Bad exam takers have hardly a chance while great exam takers pass and most suck on the floor as a RN.

Not knowing what to expect. I ran out of time myself. I felt like it was just getting harder and harder. I even minimized the timer and the amount of questions so I could just focus on the questions. I don't know. I need lots of prayers.

It's only one instructors exams I bomb on. It's like her answers are too difficult to understand. I read, take notes, and practice questions like I do with the other instructors and pass theirs with mid to high 80's. I honestly feel that this is the instructor that weeds out the poorer test takers because they don't want to ruin their high NCLEX pass rating. It's extremely frustrating because everyone has the same advice, but it's just one instructor that is making me hate the classroom part of nursing school.

Hello all. I just joined today and need some old time advice. I am a 41yr old nursing student in my last semester and hopefully graduating this May, but my first two exams didn't go very well...I mean really really bad! Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love love love clinical, but the classroom exams are killing me! I've tried practice questions from every which way that you can and do well with them, but our actual school exams feel like they are fifty times harder. I'm reaching out for any advice you have. I do not want to take this semester over at all. I want to graduate this May, not May 2018. There are 4 exams left on leadership, respiratory, and then two on neuro with the instructor that I fail all of her exams with. I have lost my family and some friends because of how stressful this has become. Like I said...it's just the classroom and not clinical. I know my stuff, but exams are not my friend. Thank you you for your input.
