Hi everyone! Quick question. I am a new grad who is applying for jobs currently. I have three great people I can use as a referene. However someone I really wanted to use was my preceptor for my last clinical rotations. When I was working with him, we both got along great and I worked really hard. I feel like he would be a great person to reference me as we worked closely together. On the last day of working with him, he told me that if I ever needed a reference for a job interview he would be willing to give me one. However, I recently reached out to him over text (Yes it seems informal, but he said it was the best way to get in touch with him and I felt we were on terms of friends (I was formal in asking over text though.) And he never responded back to me. I am unsure if he did not respond because he potentially forgot to respond or if it was because he did not actually like me enough to give me a reference as much as I thought he did. I just feel that it would be weird if he offered to be a reference but didn't really mean it? Should I text him again or just take it as a hint he did not want to give me a reference? Would texting him again be too pushy? Just feeling awkward about this and looking for advice on what to say to him. Thanks.

So i just took my nclex exam and feel seriously so terrible about it. I seriously think I did so bad and have no even inkling of hope i passed. And I am not just saying that either. I had 30 select all that apply which is what i am the worst at. i am so disappointed in myself because i studied so hard and was scoring in the 60s for my kaplan-so I thought i would do okay. But I felt uncertain with literally every question...I could narrow it down to two but the would blindly guess. I felt that I had studied so many more specific things and got generalized questions I was not prepared for. I feel so dumb and sick to my stomach right now. I also felt i was doing bad and was expecting to go past the 75 questions but when it stopped. I knew i did so bad that I failed at 75. On top of that, I tried to do that pearson vue trick and I had my card-declined so i know i failed. Any advice? literally have been lying around all day and am so sad and disappointed. i basically have to rant and i am so sad. I can't believe this happened. I did pretty well in nursing school so this is absolutely disapointing.
