talk me down....PLEASE!!!

I am currently in the moderate to severe state of anxiety to quote our texts. I graduated with good marks, did well in clinical and consider myself a competent adult graduate nurse. I have been studying with a friend for the past several weeks going over content, only to read here and hear through the grapvine from co-students, that nothing in the world can prepare you for this exam, there is no way to study, etc.

I went and got the Prioritization book that I read about on this site as I feel these are not my strong point. Right now I am having difficulty with making stupid mistakes and simply not being able to recall information that I KNOW is up there, but I think being obscured by my paralyzing fear of failing this GD test. I'm sorry :(

I am scheduled for 8/7 and considering rescheduling as I do not need time as yet another factor making me crazy. I know I have to go back to the drawing board, the way I prepared for exams during school. I keep saying to myself I have to get in the 'zone', but it is not happening.

I have days where I feel a bit more confident, but the bad days far outnumber the good right now. Failing is not an option. I need this to be out of my life. Of course, I am aware of all of the things I need to do; take my mind off it fora while, treat myself to something I like, etc.....they are not working!

I feel so helpless, which is totally out of character :(

Hey moetiny,

Thanks for your reply. I am using a MedsPub bank of questions/exams, and they ARE helpful, as they make you think critically and work the process through in your head.

I think I have 'overstudie' on content, if that is possible, and now just need to do these PRIORITY quesitons and try to use what I know to answer them.

I just wish I could get my confidence back !!!!
