So Confused!!! Please Advise

by mrsrd27

So here is my unique story. I graduated with ADN with High Honors in May 2005 from the state of Illinois. Since I was here on a Student Visa, I was not allowed to work after I graduated. I was able to attempt the NCLEX-RN exam however before leaving USA. I failed that attempt.

3 years later, I am back as a Green card holder. I have my Permanent Residency now. Yipeeeee..... But it seems like I cannot attempt the NCLEX-RN exam without a remedial course since it has been over 3 years since I applied to take the NCLEX-RN (Dec 2005).

I have searched high and low for a remedial course for nurse graduates in Illinois. I cannot find a program. I have tried contacting the Board of Nursing in Illinois but my calls go to automated machines. I am hoping to use my Associated Degree in Nursing to put towards a Bs in Nursing but all school need a current RN license for an RN-BSN program.

Does anybosy have any idea how I can be eligible again to attempt the NCLEX-RN exam. How can I use my Associates Degree to better my career? Pleae help
