Hello guys, i just have this problem right now that i have already taken the exam 3 times and still did not pass, I'm not that bummed out about it because i know that I'll reach my RN level soon. But my question is that if I will be retaking my NCLEX-RN Exam in New York, can i also apply for an NCLEX-LPN Exam? Or would i still need to take the LPN Programs even though I'm a BSN Graduate?

And also could you give me some ideas on what to do? Do I just stick with the NCLEX-RN Exam and keep studying and retaking and hopefully passing? Or take the LPN route temporarily and see if I can pass and get a job as an LPN for a while? I know I'm not the only one who did not pass the NCLEX 3 times.

Specializes in Family Nurse Practitioner.

Take an online review course, such as Kaplan or NCSBN. It's better to pay for an online review than to pay to take the NCLEX again.

I also think a review course would be a good idea. I am currently taking Hurt and NCSBN.

Thanks for posting guys, just a couple of questions since you're already taking the online courses.

How much are they?

How long does it take to complete?

And which ones work for you? Like: Hurst, NCSBN, or Kaplan?

Thanks again guys!

Hurst is $300 and I have only done about 15% of the whole program. It contains video lectures and worksheets. I just started NCSBN today and it costs $50 for 3 week access.

My nclex is in 1 month.

Thanks for the info, I saw the NCSBN website as well and still checking on the Hurst, I hope you finish the whole program and hopefully you pass your NCLEX! Good Luck!

Thanks. I am liking NCSBN so far. I took the pretest and got this score:

Exam Passing Score: 75% Your Score: 52%

It was hard to me and I guessed in several questions but this is just the start of this program and hurst. Hopefully I pass and I am sure you will too!
