The day before nursing school I caught my husband cheating on me. I managed to keep my head in the game and went on with school. I filed for divorce. Things got icky. I failed and had to join another cohort. I managed to finally graduate in July 2018. Divorce was finalized. Depression was high. Ex husband is a cop, he got cyfd involved. He took the took the kids on his time and slapped me with a restraining order. I was fighting to get my kids back and struggling to study and pay lawyers and pay for my exam. I got it scheduled fall of 2019, failed. Managed to go to court hearing and custody hearings. Applied an again that November to test again. Failed. He worked the system and I hadn’t seen my kids in months. With no license, no other degree. Jobless and hopeless I fell back on my skill as a mechanic. Prior Air Force mechanic…a local diesel shop hired me and I worked there for two years getting my life back in order. Custody battles against a cop is not cool. Proved myself over and over. Work was a distraction. I can do a full engine swap but for 15 bucks an hour it wasn’t paying bills, lawyers or groceries. I started studying again, I timed out in New Mexico so I applied to El Paso, got it, failed. I’m now timed out in texas. I need help. I’m waiting to hear if back from California if I can test there. I’m crying, I’m discouraged. I finally have kids back and things are somewhat normal. I need a win here. I’m feeling like everything I have been through has shoved me down the drain for a reason and I’m feeling sorry for myself. My goal is to be a flight nurse at some point. I’d be qualified to fix the plane, patient and vehicles that service the flight line. But I feel that will never happen. I need some support or love or something that will breathe life back into me. Oof that’s a lot but no one understands the heartache of failing the NCLEX like other nurses. Help?
