i feel your pain:angryfire i just took my nclex test again here in Cincinnati and something happened that the state board and the national council of nursing never heard before, PEARSON VUE LOST MY EXAM!!!:angryfire:uhoh3: so i wrote both places listed above, they stated that an investigation will be done. i don't know if i believe them or not!! have taking the test so many times i believe i have lost count!! and check this out, this coming from a person that scored a 962 out of 1000 on my HESI exit exam!!! so now what??? oh by the way i graduated in "04" from cinti state. i am embarrassed and hurting and confused!! i have been thinking of changing my career too! but my passion and first love is nursing! i don't know what to do either. i have done kaplan, and made extremely high marks did it twice to make sure, still great results from the review went to take the test (this was like in 04-05). bought all types of review books so many i can start a nclex testing study school my self:lol2: praying, crying, asking GOD why me? anything you can imagine i have done it!! my flesh is so tired of failing this test!! I love nursing but, am starting to think Nursing does not like me!! so i want to tell you this and to all that are still trying lets all pray together!! to GOD that he makes a way and part the red sea for us!! the world needs nurses, so why are they making this test harder each year?? I THOUGHT THE WHOLE WORLD WAS IN A SHORTAGE or Nurses especially R.N.'s?? am not asking for the test to be easier (well maybe i am:uhoh21:) but at least make it more sensitive to the learning styles that people that are good for a person i mean come on i thought the boards were full of nurses that make up the questions? don't they know that people are different? people learn and test etc. in different ways? i mean they even teach you in nursing school to asses the patients learning styles or abilities before teaching the patient about different situations or health care etc. so why cant the exam be filled with more choices on how how to take it? we are paying the money and GOD knows i have paid so many 275.00 someone up in Columbus is living pretty good!! i know i am sounding like i am joking but, to tell you the truth i have done so much crying and dying inside that all i have is to poke fun! because its ridiculous on how they are letting some pass and other fail. call it what you want, but it hurts me to think that the board are playing an unfair game:angryfire some of us love nursing because we love taking care of patients and not for the tittle or the so called fame of being an R.N.
