Hey everyone I am in desperate need for some advice on what to do. I graduated in 2010 with my Associate's Degree in Nursing. I took my NCLEX but did not pass. I then had some personal things start going on with me and never took the test so I never got my licensure. I am aware of the three year limit in which you have to take the NCLEX in order to get your licensure. I really want to be a RN and I do not know what to do. I don't know if I have to go back to school and do the courses over or if they are renewal classes I could possibly take. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. : )
Or if someone has been through this themselves and can tell me what they did to become a RN that would be fantastic. I really want to be a RN and have since I was a kid and do not want to give up on this dream. Thank you all!

Have you contacted the BON to ask for advice? Another thought would be to take your NCLEX under application to another state, like Florida, where there is no time limit after graduation. You might then be able to endorse your license into Georgia, but you could still run into issues.
