Good afternoon my fellow nurses! So I'm kinda stuck in an emotional rollercoaster of sorts. I graduated nursing school in 2013 and took my NCLEX in 2014. Unfortunately, I failed. It's been two years and I want to try again, however, I am afraid to fail. I was always a smart student, passing all my tests and etc. After I found out my results, I just hit rock bottom. I gave up on nursing. I started working different jobs to satisfy my urge to be independent. I do study when I have the free time, however, every time I open a book or do a sample test my mind tells me to stop because I already failed once. I am scared to fail again. I need help/advice. I want to become a nurse. I want to help people. I'm scared, I'm scared of being a failure.
