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.

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!
Good luck & keep us posted when you pass!

Go for your RN. I passed mine on my second try. I did about 3,000 + questions with saunders comprehensive review (CD) and if you have time read through some chapters, it may help, especially the area you feel you need more work on. I also took free classes they offer on kaplan, go to Pass the NCLEX Guaranteed or Your Money Back | Kaplan Nursing and attend a free event. Hope this helps, especially if you cannot afford taking courses like hurst or kaplan. I couldn't so i went with saunders which i checked out from my school library.
