advise!!! nclex-RN considering nclex-PN

[xxkouxx]

Hi to allnurses.com members,

I have taken the nclex-RN 3x and failed all 3, it was very devastating and no one to blame except me....trying to analyze what i did wrong just drives me crazy...

so im talking to my dad which is also a nurse and he recommended why not i take the NCLEX-PN for now, try that route and maybe i can pass that one..no offense to the PN takers, im not saying their exam is easier or that any nclex RN takers will pass that in flying colors, its just that i think i wanna consider doing that for my situation

so checking the website i will be paying the same amount as if i was registering for the nclex-RN

(CVS + NY application), the only difference is i can apply for an interim permit as an LPN (anyone pls correct me if im wrong).. im well aware that it would take 6-12mos for the whole process and believe me nothing in this world is easy..

so here's my question:

to those reading this thread, if you were me, after failing the RN exam so many times will you consider trying to take the PN exam first, then when you PASS, work, then somewhere down the line take he RN exam?

Thanks in advance!!!

Hello, I just want to ask you something... I took Nclex last week, and I am having a bad pop up at Pearson View Trick... I bet you already took LPN.. I just want to ask if you submit a separate credentials to BON Nclex-RN and BOUN Nclex PN or you have to just ask the BON to submit a copy to Board of Vocational nurse(Nclex-PN).... Thank you?

Separate applications to separate boards for the two different licenses. Nobody forwards anything. You have to pay a separate fee.

I called the California Board of Nursing, I found out that if you failed Nclex-RN and you want to take Nclex-PN, you just need to submit a letter to BON with your file number and they will mail a copy of your credentials(ex:transcript and clinical records) to Board of Vocational Nursing and psychiatric Tecnicians(BVNPT).... Just pay them $30 for precessing fee...... and then submit a separate application form to BVNPT....
