someone tell me i'm normal

[it's hot in phoenix]

Hello, I am 45 days from my CPNE date and for some reason today I'm a little freaked out :eek: so is it normal to think you dont know enough or not be able to pass this test :banghead: my husband thinks I've lost my mind and I think I even freaked him out. I dont have everything a 100% memorized yet, but close. I have every guide,video and book known to man along with all 3 online classes with EC for prep. So what is wrong with me- yikes. Ok took a breath, put the study crap away for night, realized this my first freak out, regroup and call it a night. Maybe I'll call my doc tomorrow for that xanax :D:D Thanks for listening :yeah:

[exnavygirl-RN]

You're normal.....like me. ha ha ha I'll be testing in 16 days. I have days where i'm in such a panic that I'm tempted to call and cancel. Most days I'm fine. I'll be glad when it's over!

I'm 65 days away from my CPNE in Mansfield and this is my 2nd freakout of the week :-) I feel like I should have it all down pat, but I don't have it down to a science yet. I have one workshop under my belt, about 70 flashcards made up, a mad scientist lab growing in my basement, videos and notes saved on the computer and papers and books all over the place.

If there is an EC student that hasn't freaked before their exam I would like to know! All I can say is--Hang in there, there are so many of us that understand.

Oh my. This sounds so much like me. I haven't seen the top of my dining room table in months. Books, notebooks, print outs are all over it. "Mad scientist lab" :chuckle

I have a home made "dummie"that I use for my practice PCS. He's headless and sits on the couch when not lying on the table. People coming over to my house have to do a double take when they see it. He looks pretty creepy sitting there at night. When this is all over I can un-stuff him and give the clothes back to my husband. :chuckle

Just wanted to say thanks for the reply's I have only one bad dream with a CA standing over me yelling "you failed", and woke to laugh actually, because I'm a 6'1 chick and that would have to be one big CA :chuckle:chuckle:chuckle, good luck to exnavygirl and sara :heartbeat:up: donna

100% normal. I was shaking the whole time, and half way home one the plane. To answer a question you posted to me a while back, I had no Peds pt. The pt. was replaced by an adult. The CA said that they had not had a ped in weeks. I don't know about now that was 2 months ago. Hope that helps.
