Hi everyone, i just became a new member to allnurses. But I need some advice. I graduated May 2014 and have failed the NCLEX-RN 5 times. The first 3 times I failed at 75 questions, 4th time was 176 questions and my most recent which was October 1, 2016 I failed at 265. I thought this was it and that I had passed but now I'm starting to feel defeated. In August I took a hurst review and really liked it. I've also had 2 tutors in the past. But I'm thinking of going back to test but instead this time do the NCLEX for LPN. And buying a question bank for LPNs. So I just wanted to know your thoughts please... should I try the LPN or go and test RN again. Thank you...

Nikki1991 6 Posts Oct 4, 2016 Hi thanks for replying.. I didn't get my report yet. And I contacted the BON for MA and they said all I need to do is the application and mark LPN. On my last report I was near passing on all sections and below on safety and infection so I tried focusing more on that section. And I did hurst review in August. But I feel like I don't know what else to do.. 5 times is a lot..

Nikki1991 6 Posts Oct 5, 2016 Thanks.. what resource did you use for questions? I've used ncbsn, unworld, and Saunders. I used Kaplan in 2014 when I first graduated..

GlammieRN 71 Posts Oct 10, 2016 Sorry to hear that.. I, myslef took the nlcex 2x.. The first time i tokk my nclex it went all the way up to 265.. It was very exhausting.. The second time around i went to a private review.. And she is really good.. Her review and her ways of strategies to answer questions made me passed.. Good luck! U can try LPN.. That was my friend did.. She cant passed the RN for many times.. So she tried LPN and she did pass..
