To All Nurses: Just from reading all the comments, I guess we all struggle at some point with a lot of different things! Just know, you are not alone! We all go through challenges in life, but that is what makes us stronger! I think we all have a fear of failure too! We as people do not know how to motivate our inner selves and have enough confidence sometimes! I too have gone through so much, I wasn't sure I was going to make it in nursing school! I had a father dying with cancer and a mother who was equally sick and going through a very difficult divorce during and up to the end of school! I have taken the NCLEX twice and have failed both times! I think I am more afraid now to attempt taking it then I was the first time! Any added help is much appreciated!
