I truly need to help for my rpn exam

I got the result of my rpn exam. I failed again. Oh, I cant think anything.

It was my second time to take the exam in September 9.

I took the first exam in Jan.

My friend told me try to take the exam again for next Jan.

But I don't know what I do..

If I was a college student, I would ask somebody for help. However, I cant cuz I'm an IEN.

I have RN-diploma and assessed RN and RPN by CNO.

I only have 1 chance to take this exam.

I passed the speaking test in MELAB and took TOEIC last Saturday.

I studied nclex-pn comprehensive, canadian pn prep guid, compendium and taylor's clinical nursing skills.

The first score was 136/146, and the second score was 140/146..

I know it wasnt bad score but hummmm... :cry:

Sorry to hear your news, there are other IENs who have gone through the same experience as you and it was very difficult for them, but they persevered and passed and are now working. You may benefit from an organization that provides support to IENs, care4nurses.org is one that is worth contacting for advice and support.

kindest regards

Specializes in Geriatrics, Med-Surg..

What about taking a prep course at one of the colleges near you. I think that Mohawk college in Hamilton offers one for RPN's.

I was going to say what lizz said about the IEN course at Mohawk.

My advice would be to: A) wait for a bit, find work as a PSW while you learn more about health care in Canada. I work with a woman who was a surgical nurse (RN) for 5 years. She failed her RPN the first time too. OR B) look into taking an RPN program for IEN's. That had one where I went (Conestoga). It was a full year, they started in the summer,and then joined the rest of us for our last year. The bright side is you will have Canadian credentials, and get to do consolidating which will go a long way to getting a job.

Good luck
