Failed nclex twice

World Canada CRNE

Published

I just found out that I failed the nclex with my second attempt. I am so devastated. The worst part is that I've been an LPN since 2009 so I have the skills and knowledge. I had no problem in my nursing program, and had a high GPA. I've never failed a test in my life and an starting to question myself if nursing is the field for me. I am working as a graduate nurse in the hospital where I preceptored and am worried now that everyone at work will think I'm dumb, as I'll loose my license if I fail again. I have been studying as much as I can with two little children. All I do is study, work, look after my children. To top it off my son was diagnosed with autism (he's almost 6) a month ago.

I keep pushing myself to study but I feel as though I am going to have a mental breakdown. I don't even want to tell my family I failed again. I am so embarassed.

I really feel I need too focus on my daughter and my son.I really don't know if I should just put my Rn dream on hold, find a job as a LPN and try again in a year?

Oh darling, how you feel is so heartbreaking. I will keep you in my prayers but dont lose hope darling...with struggles and failures comes success...keep patient, although easier said than done but it is your best friend at this very moment...and take this experience as a trial do not opt out of nursing as your career and remain hopeful. Sending positivity your way!
