Wow, I am so sorry to hear this. Nursing school isn't easy and I knew this going in but as far as this anxiety I am going to beat this. I hope with all my heart that things for you get better. I really wasn't looking to take any type of medications because I really think I can dismiss this with some type of exercise thanks to all of the responses that I am receiving. I don't no if you've gone on and finished nursing school or this is still and issue for you but if you haven't finished I wish you luck sincerely. Best of luck to you.

I am a first year nursing student:yeah:, and boy did I work hard to get here:cool:. The though of me being in nursing school always make me feel good, but I have a major problem.:redlight: I've always had problems with test anxiety, during undergrad it was never as bad as it is now and I am starting to worry. I have already had one quiz and two test since I've been in nursing school and I've fail all three. I study every night, I do reviews and I even answer questions whenever we are in class. Not to toot my own horn but I know my stuff:up:. Every time its time for me to take the exam or quiz I freak out:smackingf. It never fails as I am walking towards the classroom door I can start to feel it build, my heart starts to palpate, my hands get clammy, and soon as the test begin my mind goes blank and I begin to sweat. I've tried everything to get this too stop but I am aware it won't stop until I stop it. The problem is I can't stop it because I don't know how. I've worked so hard to get here, and all I've ever wanted to be is a nurse but if this test anxiety continues I am going to mess up my chances of for fulling my dream. It makes me so sad to know I've come this far just to fail, every time I've taken a test or a quiz and went on blackboard on my schools website to check my score I always feel worthless because I've failed. Its hard for me to feel confident in myself because this has happen to me:cry:. Please is there anyone that can help me get over this. Does anyone have any tips:idea:. I would greatly appreciate it if you did.
