nclex retake.help!

[mollywolly]

i just found out i failed nclex-rn for the first time. what did you first do?

i have to re-apply for another eligibilty (in california for me), right? how long was your waiting time to receive the eligibility?i'm from the philippines by the way.

enclosed with the result was the reapplication form and i dont know which page to send..as what I understand i should send the first page (which is the request form) plus the 75$bankdraft? will i have to provide a picture again?

and then the last page(nursing program verification) that has to be filled up by the dean of my nursing school...should i send it together with the application form and bankdraft? or will the school be the one to send it to california?

i really hope you can answer back.. i dont know whre to inquire with this matter. pls pls.my mind heart is hurting a lot because i prepared for this exam but i guess it's not my time yet.

your help is greatly appreciated. thank you so much in advance

Right now, focus on preparing again for that exam. You are going to need to reapply to CA and pay the fee to them, as well as register again with Pearson-Vue and pay to retake the exam.

Any form that needs to be filed out by your school needs to be sent by them, it is never accepted from you.

Best of luck to you, but I would focus on the exam so that you do pass it this next time.

I appreciate your response suzanne. :) By the way I tried your study plan before the exam but I wasn't able to get hold of the next step after answering questions per chapter of saunders. what should I do next? Thank you so much for your help.

oh, and another thing regarding my reapplication. do I still need to send a picture? and coming from the philippines how long will I be able to receive my eligibility, because the last time it took me 4 months. thanks again.

If you only did the review, you did not use my plan. That takes an additional 6 weeks to complete. You must follow the instructions that are on the NCLEX Forum, and contact me as it is posted there.

You need to send what they are asking for, they know that you are planning to retest. But I would focus on preparing properly for the exam, and not the earliest time that you can take it again.
