I graduated from university two years and one month ago. Next Wednesday will be the 5th time taking the NCLEx. I have taken Kaplan twice. I did a private program called Sycamore Nurses NCLEx review, twice. Hurst review, Saunders 4th Edi and I'm reviewing through ATI right now. On maternal nursing my scores from test one 50% test two 46% and finished test three 41%. My confidence is shot. My grade point average in school was 3.69. I have my BSN. But I can't pass NCLEx. In fact, I'm on first name basis with the Pearsonvue people.
I feel like I made the biggest mistake by attending nursing school. As of March 1st, I have been living out of my car. Today was the first time I ate at a homeless soup kitchen. 85% of my take home pay goes to school loans. You can find me studying in West LosAngeles libraries with the other homeless. But this isn't the lifestyle I was expecting.
How many times should one take the NCLEx before you just give up?
I am licensed as an LPN in Florida and Georgia. I graduated back in 2004 from the RN program but after failing three times and not having the money to try again, I sat for my LPN boards. I've never heard of hurst though, is it a review course?
Specializes in Medical and general practice now LTC.
I have recently moved to Georgia, can I start over taking it there?
Continue with what you are doing but once passed NCLEX you can endorse license to new state and once they review your application and issue a license you can work in new state
Things are not good for me but I have a very peculiar situation!I am licensed in Florida and Georgia but I just found out I can't take the nclex RN in Georgia because u have to pass the exam within three years of graduating.
Yes so call Fl where u graduated from and see what the qualifications are to take the test again or matter of fact switch ur paperwork to another state like NY that dont have limitations GOod luck btw that's what u did

Licensed as what in Florida? If already passed NCLEX in Florida I don't see why you have to take again in Georgia unless you haven't practised for many many years
