Not passing multiple times does bring a dark cloud above your head. It took three times of failing till i passed. I worked as a tech on the floor I was suppose to be an RN. I felt embarrassed and sadly bitter when classmates of mine would float over as RN's to the unit. I just tried to keep my head held up high and did Suzanne's plan. You can do it, sometimes it takes others, like us, multiple times. It sucks, but you'll treasure it so much when it happens. So keep up your spirits!! You can do it!!! :wink2:
