So I graduated in May of 2009..Let me correct this, I particapated in the commencement ceremony because I had enough credits to do so, however because I have not passed the HESI exam, i can not receive my degree.  Ive tried way to help me study and ive learned that i have a learning disorder, by no means do i want to give up on my goal of becoming a RN but im somewhat discouraged. Its been a year later and i still have not passed this exam, mostly because I havent taken it because I am honestly scared to fail again. Is there any hope for me?? I am 23 years old and since my graduation ive dealt with being homeless, losing a parent and really being on my own.  I have teachers who have given up on me and wont even allow me to sit in the classes to ready myself for this exam.  Its hard to not give up on yourself when every body else has.  Ive joined the Army, to enhance my leadership skills and make me a stronger individual. I believe that it has and will help me greatly.  I just need direction guess.

Do NOT "not take" the exam. My wife failed a state exam the first time, but passed the second time. A good friend of mine failed the Bar Exam the first time but passed the second. He became a judge.


Life will keep throwing crap at you. Fight it and go on.


The Army will help. The Army  has plenty of bureaucratic garbage to annoy you, but it will grow you up quickly and teach you lots of life skills. Stick with it and fight for your goals.

Thank you Sir,

I take the test again on May 26th and hopefully I will pass and get the go to sit for the Boards. I know I have to take the test again, but I've been hiding from it because of my fear of failing. I want this so bad I can taste it. I know I'm almost there. And I'm trying my best to stick with it.
