I graduated 20 yrs ago and failed NCLEX-RN. So...here I am today,garbage in my life behind me, consequently much more focused. I have never given up on my dream! I have been advised by my Nursing Board in state of Washington to take the NCLEX-PN first, work as an LPN, and at some time in the future, take the NCLEX-RN. The Board is also going to help me find a mentor. Sounds like a plan! I am reviewing Kaplan NCLEX-PN (2010) and find it very useful. But, YEEK! I feel I should be using more reviews. Any and all advise is appreciated. Thanks! :bowingpur

Failed the Nclex. Are there any suggestion or tip?

Hello Vebert1020,

I just wanted to ask how things went. What helped you the most. What steps did you take?

I graduated nursing school in 1996 with an Associates Degree in nursing (RN). I took my state boards and did not pass. Life took turns and I have since worked other jobs in the medical field. I am extremely interested in finally getting my license but do not know how to do it. All nursing refresher courses I have seen require that you already have your license...I never got it. I have the degree. I would appreciate any info that will help me to finally reach my goal!!!
