Im pretty sure I failed the nclex as well my first time around. (according to the PVT trick). It really is disheartening. I think the worse thing is no where to go from here. I had doubts, crazy anxiety, and no sleep both nights before. It an embarrassing feeling and the fact that I have lost my graduate nurse job now makes it worse. Its good to here of others who have walked in your shoes and have later excelled. Gives hope. Thanks for your story
