Passion_for_nursing

Wow, I must say your story brought me to tears! I've failed the NCLEX-RN once, and will take it again sometime soon; and i'm discouraged and struggling as you were. I too, am a very passionate and hard working person, however I wonder every day why God made me go over this bump. I'm still struggling with this, and studying; however I'm determined that I must pass it. Your story has inspired me, and for that I truely thank you. I needed this. Take care, and God Bless!

I took the NCLEX-RN the first time in the beginning of June, had 265 questions and took 4 ann 1/2 hours to complete it. I left there feeling horrible; and found out a day later I did not pass. Luckily the hospital I have a job at is holding my job for me, granted I pass the NCLEX the next time. I got my ATT to take it again two days ago, and still haven't scheduled my testing date. I'm terrified of taking it again and failing. I've never failed at anything in my life, and when this happened it was a HUGE blow to my self esteem. I'm having a hard time trying to study again, and haven't even started. My entire family is counting on me not to screw this up; as well as the hospital i'm supposed to start work at. I guess I'm just writing this to see if anyone has any advice for studying, or getting my confidence back. I know I need to do this, I know it's my calling to be a nurse; however i'm scared out of my wits to take it again. Please, someone, Help.
