Third time a charm

Published

:lol2:Good morning family this Thursday I will re-apply for CPNE thank you tax refund. For many who don't know i failed the exam 2X's. I'm seeing a therapist to gain control and understand my stress level and why I feel I don't deserve this. At my age I did not realize all the baggage that I was carrying around. I guess it takes the things that we want the most to realize why we block ourselves. Any way; any one who is the same boat pleae feel free to email me, and again Sue thank youuuuu this time I did take to my medical doc about getting med's.

So sorry you did not pass. Did you go to Mansfield. I saw on the EPN that no one made it there. God Bless and keep us posted. Its a very stressful test.

Good for you T-Bone. There is an EPN'er that is near and dear to my heart that had to take Valuim the whole CPNE. She passed after the 3rd time. Go to UTICA! They are great there and alot of people succeed there.

Yes! Utica is the place to go, the Ce's are great and want you to pass. My failure was nothing to do with them, I was just to exhausted from lack of sleep to focus on Sunday, but it was a great site.

don't feel bad about asking for the xanax.....i have had anxiety attacks for years and have had a rx for xanax for over 2 years actually scheduled 0.25mg bid. needless to say with this weekend looming i have actually broke down the past 2 days and taken it (which i haven't had the need in months!) at least it has given me the ability to focus the last couple of days to tie up loose ends.......and believe me the bottle is coming to syracuse with me:d

Go for it. You can do this.

I know exactly what you're going through. I had to drop from my LPN-RN program at my school. Anxiety and stress got the best of me. Unfortunately, I didn't realize I have bad anxiety until this semester. I wish I'd known earlier, and got the professional help that I needed. If you feel like you need help, it wouldn't hurt to talk to your doctor.

That's what I did. I took my 1st EC exam today and passed. When I got home, I've put in my online application. I'm already worrying and stressing about CPNE, even though I have a looooong way to go! That's why I decided to talk to my doctor about it and she said if I need something to calm me down. I don't care that I have to take something for my anxiety. If it'll help me, so be it!!!

Anyways, good luck to you. We'll all be praying for you.

Think positive. You can do this!!!
