Thank you for sharing your story. I’m just as lost right now in my career. My fiancé is starting her nursing journey soon, so maybe this is a good time for me to invest my time in her and our two children. I may go back to do a night shift med/surge contract, then do PRN weekends. I really want to go back to the Er, but there is a lot of extra money in med/surge at my previous facility and it would take some of the financial burdens off of us while we transition. I feel like you and I both will be fine. Their cannot be success without failure. Failure is how we learn, adapt, and then succeed. Well, that’s my outlook at this point.

So, I finished my MSN in leadership earlier this year and left an excellent leadership position that I truly loved at an excellent organization in order to pursue a leadership opportunity in an academic medical center. Sounds perfect.... well... not exactly. So, about the time that I started in this new position, I was in the process of moving, had a new baby, had childcare issues, etc. All of these factors led to a severe amount of stress and ultimately impacted my ability to successfully perform and transition into this new role. I was distracted while at work, wasn’t motivated, depressed, and made some many mistakes, which led to my director losing faith in me. After 5 months, I have decided to resign and I am now looking to return to my old employer, which I have a good relationship with. I guess it is time to start over and learn from my experience. I’m not giving up on being a nurse executive one day, but I think next time I will wait until life is ready for me to take on a major role instead of looking to pursue a title just because I finished my degree. Furthermore, I still need to mature more professionally and will take this time to do so. I have never failed at anything in my career and I am totally at a loss right now. Hopefully, my failure in this short lived position will not hinder me from reattempting a leadership role in the future. I guess time will tell. Anyone else have a similar experience?

Were you ever able to find an OBGYN preceptor? My wife is in the RODP FNP program and is in desperate need of a preceptor.

Yes I did the pvt. I received the pop-up but im still unsure what my results will be. Ill find out tomorrow though :beer:

Wow.... we only have through 48hrs of torture for the quick results. You all have to wait weeks!? OUCH!!!

Thanks everyone for the support so far. This website has really helped me vent and relieve some of this anxiety. So i tried the whole pvt thing and I got the pop-up. Everyone on here so far says it works. I hope I am not the exception.

I am from TN and just took my PN exam today. I had around 180 questions and so far I am the only one in my class that had more than 85. I too am suffering from post-nclex depression. I hear the best Rx prior to quick results is this pvt. So I tried the pvt and got the pop-up. I hope the good things I hear about this trick are true.

I made a Level 3 on my comprehensive ATI so I know the material. I just hope my anxiety didn't cloud my judgment and cause me to fail.

Mine shut off at 180 today "give or take a few." I am suffering from "post-nclex depression" now. I am so scared that I failed because everyone else's shut off at 85.

So I am now suffering from post-nclex depression. I feel like I didn't know anything, which is apparently a common feeling. Here is my issue though, I had around 185 questions compared to everyone else that I know who had 85. Should I be more concerned because I had more questions??
