NCLEX after 9 years

[lmm83]

Ok...so here is my situation…I graduated nursing school back in 2002 and failed my NCLEX several time. Honestly I also gave up after a while but I still have that desire to get my license. My question is this…is there a state out there that allows you to take your boards after being out of school for such a long time without having to do school ALL over again?

I know IL you only have 3 years from the day you applied for the NCLEX. MS you have to go back to school after 2 years…anyone know any rules for other states? I really want to take them again. I don't want my BSN to go to waste. I am searching but thought I Would ask here anyways.

Thanks

simple and easy don't listen to negative people.... LOL!!! people have different situation in life keep fighting for your dream... don't believe people that you can't do it keep going... trying won't kill anyone... somebody will still hire you ones you passed.... this is a big world, opportunity knocks all the time... everything you need to pass is written in the books.... you can read it your self... those who passed and tell you you can't do it are not God... your destiny is Yours and God to decide not theirs.... Those who tell you you can't do it are not good nurses... if i am sick myself i don't want to entrust my life to mean nurses....
