i will be taking the nclex for the second time in a few hours. anxiety took over my body the first time i took it. i didnt take a break for the 4 hours i was there and i was exhausted when i left. around the end of the test, i was so tired, i started to click answers that seemed right to hurry and finish. BIG MISTAKE =( i feel like i memorized facts instead of actually learning and applying them.
i am lucky that my hospital offered me another position in the time being. i am a scrub tech on the l&d floor. i was so happy to become a scrub tech because the OR is such a heavily used room in l&d. they can use me too if there are stats or when they need an extra pair of hands. i was also trained to be an anesthesiology tech, which is another great skill to learn on the floor.
i feel like i have everything down except my RN license. i was so embarassed to tell people i failed. i was so jealous when the other l&d novices passed. this is the first time i failed a test when it actually counted.
i plan to take the test with confidence and belief that i will pass. i am going to take tons of breaks as well.
* i am writing so late because my mom woke me up by turning on the hall light. i cant sleep/wake up if the lights are turned on. i was furious!! i am going to try to sleep for a few hours. please wish me luck!!
