Nursing test :(

[beautifulgrrl]

omg u guys, I am stressing out so hardcore now...i have a major nursing test on monday and i dont feel prepared about it even tho i have studied. i feel so down right now, i am worried tremdously that i am going to fail it. i feel like i am running out of time. i work the weekend n i will be busy with clinical homework on thursday night...i am so stressed out and i dont know what to do, when i study i feel so restless and i feel like i am not going to remember anything off of it. i should be used to these tests by now, but this year is worse than last year

Calm down..... don't stress yourself into a failing grade before you even print your name on it.

Find something that is really small and will fit in your pocket. Something that has meaning and gives you comfort. When you start to feel stressed out reach in your pocket and hold it in your hand. It helps a lot.

I carry a key to my daughter's house. It's a reminder of a place where I feel wanted, loved and safe.

Hey beautiful!! You can do it! Is there anything that is calming to you? If so, do it! (e.g. chamomile tea, relaxation music--something like ocean waves or whatever, uplifting music, breathing exercises, yoga, running, ?, ??, ???, etc.)

Hang in there, ya?! YA!!

Dont worry at all, I'm 14 and have no experience with nursing but my mom is a registraited nurse, a test dosnt tell you how smart you are my mother is brilliant yet had to take the test 2 times. Dont fret.

so true andrea! Tests normally measure how much information you can regurgitate on request. Don't sweat it too much sweetie.

It's totally understandable and no need to appologise. We all do it sometimes. Heh, you haven't read my thread.... I do it a lot.
