Sad

I’m so upset with myself I push myself for a big exam I had for my nursing exam. I would do 300 questions a day. I did the work and I ended up failing , worse than I did the first time. But I’m trying to look at the positive side. I get to graduation tomorrow even thought i failed my exit exam. I passed both my finals with a b. But I’m still depressed I failed my exit exam. I have to take a summer course and pass it the next time. What I’m depressed about is seeing all my friends tomorrow all happy while I’m upset about not passing. 😕 man life is crazy.

At least you made it THIS FAR! Some people didn't pass the finals! And I'm proud of you. You have another chance to pass, and I know you can do it. Dont be so hard on yourself. You're graduating! Congrats GRAD!!!

I am not a good test taker. I would get so anxious I would often second guess myself and miss questions that I knew. So I had to study so hard till the information was burned into my brain. I was in a honors program and it would have been humiliating to fail a test. This happens to many people and has nothing to do with how intelligent you are. You need to over compensate , find your weakness and focuses on that. You are still a successful person and you will get to where you want to be . Enjoy your day and congratulations.Pam

Yes I get anxiety too! I Overstudy and just panic when I take my exams. Like the information doesn’t come to me! But I will look at my weaknesses and do more practice questions on that.

That’s tough. Nursing school is tough, I would know I’m in it! Always remember the reason you began in the first place. If you’ve made it this far you’ll make it all the way through! Third time is the charm, right?! Many don’t even make it past anatomy and that you conquered! You’re running your race, not their’s.

Nursing school is hard! And yes I am glad I get another chance and get to graduate with my class.
