Well I want to thank you guys so much I feel determined and I dont mean to shine on ur mishalfs but if u did it 9 years after graduating I can do this...I yearn for the day I can say I am now working as a nurse...Thank you all for your support...Your stories have been inspirational for me THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I will keep ya posted on how i am doing!

wow hows that for inspiration! Yes I do believe I owe it not only to myself but my son as well. I have woken up with great expectations from myself I had a long talk with my husband and let him know how I am feeling I cried he hugged me and then told me That HE BELIEVED IN ME! I am now going to start looking for a daycare to take my son for a couple of hours while i study.. i was reluctant to take him earlier because I felt like I was neglecting him. He is only 7 months old but I got great response from my husband and he has agreed that taking my son to daycare so I can study would be beneficial for us. I will start studying on MOnday and hope for the best!....Any advice on how many questions I should be doing? My instructor from school recommended I take 500 questions a day! It seems so overwhelming...... where do I begin?

Hi all! I need some help here I am so in limbo as to wether persue nursing or just give up....I worked so hard during nursing school and because of some financial problems I was not able to take my test right after school finished or even study... I waited a year and then took my test and was devestated to know I had failed....I question myself day and night as to wether I can pass this darn NCLEX-PN exam and at times i feel confident and at times i just cry myself to sleep because I am so dissapointed in myself. I have now had my first child and I know getting mylicense will provide a great future for him but I feel so hopeless. I did great while I was in school I had my share of hands on trainning but I just am so afraid of failing again... I need help!!! My heart has always been in helping people and nurturing them back to recoverey. I love the feeling of making a difference and is why i entered nursing to begin with! I feel i can make a difference if i could just get my license but I am so afraid of FAILURE AGAIN!!! I dont know if there is anyone out there with a similar situation...Should i just give up?? I have even thought of just retaking the whole program over again but I know that I am not dumb I passed my classes and had exceptional reviews during clinicals.......how many questions should I be doing a day since I did fail and how should i study reading the all of the books? just seems like it would take forever or should I just focus on answering questions?

THANK YOU BOTH FOR YOUR REPLIES! I got a better understanding of this it really helped.

I have just found out that nurses play a role in forensics I was not aware of this, but this sounds interesting so far from the information you have provided do you have any schools in the los angeles area that I can check out in regards to the forensics program??

Good Evening Everyone, I am studying for the NCLEX and so far I have so much trouble with the math and conversion of ml, units, grams, grains, etc.... they just seem so confusing to me!!! Does anyone have a good and easier way that might help me remember how to calculate the conversions?? I can do the math just can't remember how to convert!
