thank you!

I am a 2009 Practical Nurse Graduate. I took my boards in October and failed. I am scared to retake my boards because at times I feel as if I am ready and at other times I feel as if I am not. I took the Hurst Review in December but I still feel that way. I have been studying on and off, but it seems as if I am forgetting everything that I learned. I know that you do not come of out nursing school knowing everything, but I feel like the things I should know will not stick. I am a hands on person and that is how I learn the best. I have a lot of other things going on at the moment and still, I continue to put off my test. I need advice on how to prepare for the boards and feel confident about taking the test. I am very determined to become a Nurse. I started the program in 2007 and went through two semesters and failed by one point. I was devastated because I only had 10 weeks of nursing school left . On top of that I found out I was pregnant with twins and that put more stress upon me. My husband was a Marine and he was getting deployed and I already had a 2 year old. I never gave up, but my instructors gave up on me. I told them I would be back the next year and wouldn't anything stop me. I proved them wrong and I was right. So, hear me out and help me out. This has been my dream and I hope you all can give me positive feedback and whomever reply to my post, thank you in advance!:)
