vanillamocha Jan 18, 2009 Thank you guys very much. I worked hard t get through Nursing school, so I can't let this discourage me. I just keep repeating this to myself "SETBACKS in life are SETUPS for a greater comeback." 0 Likes
vanillamocha Jan 18, 2009 I was reading the application to retake the Nclex and it says a 2hr Medication error course needs ti be completed before you can retake the exam. Does anyone know if that is so? 0 Likes
sydney shaw Jan 18, 2009 I don't believe soI know if you fail 3 times you have to take some kind of remediation course, but you're not required to take that unless you've failed three times 0 Likes

caliotter3 Jan 19, 2009 Sorry to hear of your failure. Consider trying Suzanne's plan. You can read about it in the stickies at the top of this forum. Good luck. 0 Likes
vanillamocha Jan 19, 2009 I'm in the state of Florida, maybe I read to application incorrectly. I'll look over it again. 0 Likes
vanillamocha Jan 19, 2009 I did read Suzanne's stickies. I went out and bought the Saunder's 4th edition today but I took my exam 1/14 so it has not been a week yet. I am so tempted to just dive into it again but I am forcing myself to take a break until next week and then start fresh next week Monday. 0 Likes

vanillamocha Jan 19, 2009 No, I took it Jan. 14th and I found my results the next day on the florida website. I am in Florida, so I don't know if it's different in other states. Which state are you in? 0 Likes
msunday16 Specializes in Emergency Nursing, M/S, Home Health. Has 4 years experience. Jan 19, 2009 Ohh sorry to hear that. actually, I also didn't passed the exam. I took it last Dec31 and got the letter just now (coz there's no quick results for calif) it's a good thing you knew the results earlier.. unlike me that i have to wait for 2weeks to recieve the news...I'm now doing suzanne's tip coz some of my friends advice me to do the same thing..don't worry, if we give all we got this time I know that 3 or 4 months from now, we will have the RN written at the end our names!! Good Luck to us!!:wink2: 0 Likes
Silverdragon102, BSN Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC. Has 33 years experience. Jan 19, 2009 Yes if you fail 3 times with Florida you have to do a course as do a few other states but there are just as many that allows unlimited attempts 0 Likes
