I'm hoping I can get advice, encouragement, tips, anything to lift my spirits and lessen my anxiety. I graduated in May 2009 and since have take the NCLEX-RN 3 times unsuccessfully. Each time it gets me down even worse. I will be taking it for the fourth time this December. I have been studying like crazy, from every possible book/cd. I've done Kaplan and Hurst Reviews, as well. I had been working in private home care and left it because I felt I needed to focus 100% on this test. I've distanced myself from former classmates because I feel bad that I'm practically the only one that has not passed from my class. I'm also worried about not being hireable since its taken me so long to pass. As you can see, with 5 weeks to go, the stress, anxiety and fear of not passing, yet again, is taking over my mind to the point that I've had nightmares. There's nothing more in this world that I'd love:heartbeat to be than a NURSE !
I'm reaching out to you for your advice, thoughts and prayers!
