I am going to agree and start tossing in there. Found several boxes of Bead It magazines (in my sister's stash, she died, too.....husband thought I would enjoy them, I think he has changed his mind). She also decorated eggs.....oh, it just goes on and on! Recycling, think I will just crawl in the bin! Thanks goodness son works for a document shredding place:)

I have been a nurse for 42 years. I have cleared out 2 houses from in-laws and parents who died, and "inherited" those just can't give away things. I still have some science books, like A/P (does that change or just the sand in the body move), chemistry (for those days I can't get something clean and don't want to blow the house up). Each house clean-out was a major toll on my mind and back. I swore I would never put my kids through that. We have lived in our house 40 years, 40 years of our memories. And now I have started going through and reducing, minimalizing, giving away, selling, any thing I can do to get the accumulation down. But do you just throw text books away, who wants old ones? And then I find books from the 1800's, a family bible from the late 1700's, coins from the 1870's, I can see my kids tossing these, but there comes a point where I just want to toss too! WE actually got rid of a storage shed and sold a lot of things. But there is so much left to go. And I can't look at my sister's house without thinking I hope I go first (it will be up to her son and me, and they are both hoarders). Becoming a minimalist is a cold-hearted job, but someone has to do it!

Take a short break, then start looking at why you think you did not pass. Then zero in on those weaknesses. Take the test as soon as you can again. It sounds like the stars are aligning for holding the position and waiting for you to pass the test. And everyone offered good resources. Think positive.....you have the capability to pass the test.

Do you have trouble taking tests? Are you using the practice classes and exams offered to help you get in the right question answering mode? Have you looked closely at why you are not passing? Don't give up. It's hard to keep taking it but once you get it passed, you are done, and the world is at your fingertips. I am a 62 yo RN, my daughter is a 32 yo nursing student, my mom and sister were nurses.....it is a profession that accommodates you, there is so much out there to get involved in. Don't give up! You will so appreciate it when you pass it, and you will pass it maybe not the next time, but the next time! I know how hard it will be if my daughter doesn't pass however many times she takes it, but I know she will keep trying, that's just what we do, until we succeed. Attitude is everything!

a dead body!
