Failed nclex 4 times

Published

Hello all :(

I am just seeking advice from anyone who has been in a similar situation.

I have failed my NCLEX for a fourth time in CANADA.

In the province I reside in, after three attempts, you need to submit to them a written letter etc to be granted a fourth.

The granted me a fourth - and here's to hoping they see how close I was and grant me a fifth.

Has anyone been in a similar situation as I ?

Furthermore -

What else can I do with my degree if not nursing.

Someone please help :(

If you used up your fourth attempt I doubt you will get a fifth. You would be able to work as an aid or something.

when you say work as an "aid" what do you mean.

It was my fourth attempt total.

Wrote 3 times with CRNE - and 4th with NCLEX.

So hoping maybe they will grant me a 5th because its a different format on testing.

Do you know the protocol for going to work / write in the states

Hi dear, am also in Canada, please which province are you residing, I live in Ontario and am about to register for the nclexnclex though I have not started studying for it. My advice s that you should not loose hope since you still have another chance. How far apart were you taking the exams. You should give yourself sometime before writing again. Do not be in a rush, anxiety could pose a problem. Do not think ofof going into another profession until you are sure that you have no other chance. Give yourself sometime now. Look back into your performances in the once you have written and go from there. What resources did you use to study for those exams. Were you able to solve lots of questions, I heard it helps too. Please be patient, God will see you through in Jesus name, amen.

hey i am in Ontario also.

The thing i am worried about is i may not have another chance.

In ontario they only usually let you write 3 times.

They already granted me a 4th :(

I studied for hours on end 8 hours a day minimum

Studied from kaplan, saunders, hurst , took a review course...

And downloaded the mastery app.

I felt so confident this time and wasnt able to get past it

Am so sorry dear. I think you should get back to cno and see if they can give you another chance, you might be lucky again. But if not may be check in the states and see if any of the college of nurses there will have a space for you. Am even scared of the exam. I think you used the right books. I wish cno will give you another chance. At least since you have written the nçlex once you could do better. I wish someone on this site will help to give you a link to any state on the US that can register you. Well let's wait and see. Do not loose hope yet, you never knew what might come up. If I get to find any link I will let you know.

I would start developing other plans, is it possible for you to go back to school?

Why do you say that @dishes ??

Is there no hope that I am granted another attempt ?

To go back to school will be very costly.

I've already spent 50K + on nursing

I think it is healthier to hope for the best and prepare for the worst, that way you will be ready for either a positive or negative response from the CNO.

You are welcome. Take care and keep hoping for the best, there is nothing hard for God to do. Note that you may also get some both good and nasty responses on this thread, just don't give up but rather stay positive. Thanks.
