i need to vent!!!!! i have been studying for the nclex-rn everyday at least 4 hours a day with about 200 questions. i am so disappointed each time i'm done with the review cd's and i get my grades...i'm not getting to a pssing grade...my grades so far are in the low 70's (like 62%!)...gosh! does this mean my chances of passing is very low???? i'm scheduled to sit in for the boards on july 15th. i feel like i don't have a life anymore, i'm not my normal self anymore because of this.....i feel like all i do is study and stress out!!!!! i already have a job waiting for me and i start on july 17 but i'm not sure if they'll let me start if i fail the board...i wanna enjoy the summer but i can't! even my kids are deprived of my attention!!! please advise............i have been using online review through learning ext, drexel cd, kaplan 2005-2006 cd....do i need to change my review source???????? what am i doing wrong to score so low??????? grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

relax! just take a deep breath and chill. your overworking yourself. just take a breather. i'm sure your going to do great. just keep your head up and do your questions. just because your not getting 90's doesn't mean your going to fail the boards. just study, take breaks, and keep positive. i suggest you take this weekend to just relax and spend time with your friends and family. make this weekend the weekend to yourself (no nclex related stuff). just regroup yourself and start again on tuesday! i know you can do it. keep us posted.

good luck!

hayyyyyyy...you're right, i need a break and i deserve a break! i just called my husband at work and i told him were packing our clothes and were spending this weekend away from a computer and books! really, for the past month all i do is study and stress out....thank you for your advise (sometimes i need a little push to get going and stay positive)...all this time i've been negative, i keep telling myself i'm not gonna pass because i jiust can't retain anything i'm studying.... i sometime even question myself how i made it through nursing school??????
