Hello, i just want to find out if i can get some type of a hospital job whiles waiting to retake my RN exam that i failed on my first trial?. I intend to relocate perhaps to Aurora, Colorado real soon and would love it if your answers can relate to or guide me to how i can find something around there. Thank you.:bow: i"m going to pass this exam on my next seating and i'm so much committed.

Specializes in ICU, nutrition.

The GNs that I've known that didn't pass the test worked as nurse's aides until they did.

Yes, you can work as a CNA until you get your license and I think it would be the best think to do, so once you pass you will have experience and will feel comfortable with the transition into a RN position.

Specializes in Orthopedics/Med-Surg, LDRP.

You can get a job as a CNA, PCT, patient transport, phlebotomist (great for training!), lab tech, pharmacy tech, unit secretary, patient registration or patient relations. It at least gets your foot in the door of the hospital and can give you some sort of aspect of an income while waiting to pass your NCLEX. Good luck!
