Nclex retake

Published

I'm a RN/MS/NP student who's been struggling through the boards. After multiple failures and exhausting my avenues, such as Kaplan, Anderson, Tutor and even ATI, I have taken a break from studying and was offered a Medical assistant/RN position. This job has most definetly boosted my ego. At the end of the day, I believe that my anxiety has taken over me. I feel that I am in a different place now, but would like some input in where to start with the NCLEX as I'm ready to attack it. Any tutors in the Boston area? I am also considering taking the Hurst review. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

If you haven't passed the nclex, how are you working as an rn?

Im a little confused also re you education. How can you be a NP student without holding a valid RN license? Any way,from reading this post and several others I gather you have attempted the NCLEX back in 2009. If this is the case, I would suggest a refresher course then the Hurst live review to prepare for boards.

There are a few direct entry MSN/NP programs for those with a non-nursing bachelors degree. However one cannot work in an 'RN' position until passing the NCLEX RN and issued an RN license by the BoN
