I would sign up for a refresher course and pass nclex then find a lpn job. Good luck! :)

Specializes in Hospice / Ambulatory Clinic.

Ok can I clarify a point or two? You preparing to take the NCLEX again correct so the job your currently looking for is a non licensed position? I don't think any of the reasons above are the true reason. It's mainly the economy and the position your tried to get hired in is a non skill position mean that many job seekers are applying for these also so there is stiff competition.

One of the reasons nursing has been a good place to find a job in the past (not right now for the same reason as above) is that the license provides a barrier to entry mean in general your only competiting against other nurses for a position.

Keep your head and if you want it go get it but really focus your efforts on passing that NCLEX
