So frustrated and depressed

Words can't describe how I feel currently. I can't sleep, I find no pleasure in my activities, nothing.

It all began last Thursday, I took the NCLEX for the first time here in Michigan. I studied for a good while, didn't feel prepared, but went anyways because really - who does?

I was pleasantly surprised come test day - I didn't feel it was really impossibly hard, and finished at 75 questions in 45 minutes. I waited patiently for two days for my quick results, and they never came.

I found out my test results are on hold for some reason - so I came here and searched around for others who experienced this, those who had all had one thing in common: we took the test quickly. Upon calling the NCSBN, I was told it was for 'random Q/A' checks and that I couldnt be given any information but that it should take NLT 3 business days. I later received an email in the day essentially saying, "there is no time limit to 'investigations'"

Business day 4, and here I am, exhausted. My entire life is on hold right now while my exam is scoured over. I'm a new grad with an RN position full time on DAYS on a unit I LOVE and interned on over the summer - but I may lose that position if I don't get results soon, my package for military commission in the Navy in stopped dead in its tracks until I get those results and sadly, for that I have a deadline. Lastly, the RN to BSN program I wanted to attend fills up rather quick and I may not be able to attend at all this Fall.

I just don't want to deal with this anymore. I can't believe I came all this way just to be stopped here - I didn't do anything wrong, so why am I being punished? Why won't they tell me anything?? Every night I wake up at least 10 times, and all day I just can't enjoy any book I read or movie I watch. I really need some advice of any kind at all, i'm starting to lose it.

You need to calm down and have some dip... The world does not revolve around you! You are nothing but a drama queen. If you are going into the Navy, you better get over this attitude quick or you will not make it!:mad:

1) Name-calling is against TOS.

2) Dip causes oral cancer, also it is disgusting. (disregard if dip meant French Onion).

3) Clinicals aren't a nursing specialty.

Yikes! thats rather a nasty comment...I'm assuming you haven't taken the NCLEX or it has been a long time. The waiting can be very stressful..I remember checking for my results almost hourly for two days and it about drove me nuts!! I was so excited and nervous. It took my breath away when I finally saw my results--It was an incredible feeling of accomplishment--Give her/him a break. My:twocents:

Dear deftonez 188,

I was unable to insert quoted text re: "drama queen." My previous post was made in response to that post...

It looks like you're the one that needs to calm down. If you cannot handle someone venting, why bother replying?

The cattiness on this website AMAZES me @ times. Offer the poster some advice or "save" yourself the trouble of typing.
