I feel incredibly discouraged today.

Growing up, I have always dreamed of working in the medical field. Throughout school I couldn't stop thinking about how I wish I could be in college already and just become a nurse! Though I knew as I got older that it wouldn't be so easy. I finished my pre-reqs and was finally able to take the HESI A2 Entrance Exam! I STUDIED MY BUTT OFF. The day (today) comes...I'm excited...only to have my hopes crushed all to hell. I paid a costly amount to take this exam, and I failed. I will try it again since I am allowed 2 attempts a year, but even if I pass it....that doesn't guarentee me a spot in the LPN Program. So even if I pass...I could still not be accepted. I feel pathetic because I have had 4.0 GPA in college...only to fail an exam. It's embarrassing.
