Failed retaker =(

I am a retaker of tests 3 and 5. I am really disappointed and sad because I didn't see my name in the list of passers. Now I don't know what's the next step to take. Should I take the December Board again? I'm really stressed out right now. I really can't think of any solution to my dilemma. Next week I will be taking my NCLEX. I'm losing hope of passing that exam and I'm just so lost. Anybody out there who has the same problem? Thanks and congrats to all passers... :o

Hello diana_rm20! Nice to know you're taking it quite well now. Good luck on your NCLEX!

Thanks miss_anthrope! I'm better now and I'm concentrating on passing my NCLEX. I hope I pass this exam :uhoh3: Hey dudzy, guess we're on the same boat :lol2:...? It's ok! We can make it! We can prove to them that we are just victims here! Hehe :angryfire:angryfire:angryfire

Hey Yanix good luck to you too. You're right, we shouldn't let them ruin our dreams! Let's study hard for our upcoming exam and then take the NLE again.. Oh well... :o

my cousin also failed the retake exam..may i ask what state in the US will she be able to apply for the nclex? thanks

can I ask you guys something? What were you thinking when you were answering in the board exam last June? I've been thinking, maybe just maybe you felt something or focused on something that is not related to the exam... In short, your heart is not where it should be at the time of the exam...

Bichay, good luck on your nclex!

Thanks Top 5. I wish I pass with flying colors just like you did! :trout:

i also failed the exams and theyre already processing my nclex application.. if your not planning to work in the Philippines, my idea is, just surrender your local license to the prc so you they can give you a visa screen,(w/o a license then there's nothing they will verify)..but im not really sure if it will work though.. either that or a couple of valiums will help you forget about it..(just kiddddddiiinnng);)

:o hi dian, we're on the very same situation. it's very very difficult to accept that i made it during the first time and with the scandal, we had to undergo a retake. worse is, i never made it to the list of passers. i rily cant accept the fact that i hav to surrender my license, especially now that i am now just waiting for employment in heart center which took me a year to wait.. but i am still praying that the good lord will make way for things to fall in proper places.. i am thinking of taking the entire retake, for future's sake.. may god bless us though, coz i dnt wana fail this exam just because they will (again) change the major topics like what they surprisaingly did.. let's hope and pray for the best. after all, i believe that there is a rainbow after the rain, that will lead to a brighter sunshine.. god bless

Please take the time to do some reading on the International Forum for specifics as to working in the US. This thread should remain on topic and specific to not passing the retest. Questions about the US specifically should go to the other forum per the red banner at the top of this forum.

Also recommend that you read the Primer that can be found there. No one can apply for the NCLEX exam directly, it requires application to a state Board of Nursing and their permission to sit for the exam. It is actually a national licensing exam and is the final step in the licensing process, far from the only procedure.

To clear up some information and facts for you that have retested:

The issue is not being able to take and pass the NCLEX exam, it is being able to get a Visa Screen Certificate and that is what requires the passing score on the NLE exam.

It has always been recommended that you rewrite the entire exam, as then you have a better chance to pass. When writing only two sections, you must pass both to get a passing mark on that exam.

Best of luck to you on your retest.

sorry to hear that you did not make the retesting of the nle. as far as i know, you are going to have to rewrite the entire exam, you will not be able to write the two sections alone if you already did once.

i would recommend that you keep your license and get some experience under your belt and then rewrite the exam later on. if you give up your license now, it is still going to be a couple of years before you will be able to work in the us, if at all. there is no guarantee to that anymore for anyone.

topics on exams are always changing, samething with the nclex exam. exams are never similar and should never be prepared for as to expect that.

i would focus on working at the facility that you wish for now, or even consider another country to gain some experience first. then retest and you will feel more comfortable, but if you have been waiting a year for this job, do not give that up now. no sense in that.

best of luck to whatever that you do.:balloons:
