I don't really know. May be both. I just want to share and get feedback from people that had a similar experience and learn how they dealt with it. And why not also receive some help with job placement as well. Thanks for asking.

Hi, my name is Laura. i am a nurse of almost two years of experience in Home a Care for fragile children. I stared working on my CPN (Certfied Pediatric Nurse) exam prep. Before becoming an RN I worked as PCT in two hospital settings for 7 years. Even though it seems my career is moving forward I carry a big burden of frustration. When I finished school I moved from one state to other taking my NCLEX in the new place and passing successful with 75 questions, but my first experience as Graduate nurse was a complete disaster. Making a long story short I quit my graduate program because I panick. It was the first time in my health career that fear made me step back. It's been already two years, but I can't overcome this. I feel stupid, sometimes unworthy with a heavy burden of frustration. The worst thing is that now it is very difficult to go back to the hospital. Even though I am grateful because I have a job it is not the best experience since the agency pays so little (I am making the wages of an LPN being an RN) and the benefits are horrible. I regret one and a thousand times quitting the program. What can I do? Where Can I get support? Is there a nurses association I may get in and have some help? I would like to know

Thanks guys. I really appreciate your input. Hope I can do this soon:yes:

I would like to know what if it is strictly needed to register for the class to prepare for the Certification board or buying the materials for example, from Nurses Builders, and preparing myself is enough? Some tips here would be appreciated. The class is awfully expensive thanks
