Its great that you didn't give up. You made i through the hard part and that was school. Have faith and believe!!! Kaplan is a great book/coarse for strag wise. Saunders is very very helpful in nsg content and the cd is great but it has the same/ very similar questions as the book. I rec using a different book or cd to practice questions so u can have a variety of dif style questions. and i say this bc i took the nclex and failed the 1st time but i waited my 45 days and went right back. I passed on the 2nd try with da help of Kaplan, saunders, and exam cram. GOOD LUCK

At least you are being supported by your state nursing board. In my state, you would spend a year or two just trying to get in contact with them. Sounds like you have a plan. Good luck.

I can relate...I graduated 16 years ago, and failed NCLEX, probably due to the fact a was a single mom of quadruplet baby girls,and going thru a divorce...too much on my plate at the time.NowI am 45 yrs old,much wiser and I am going back to school from scratch. I have to take a CNA course before I am even considered,for the program.which I think is good because I'm sure the face of nursing has changed so much since 1993. I am taking the LPN course and plan to pass the NCLEX-PN, work a while, and then retake NCLEX-RN. My college has accepted all my prereq's so it should only take a year.God Bless you in your future in Nursing! I just wanted to tell you.. it is encouraging to know I'm not alone
