Until you pass NCLEX, you will not be eligible for any nursing positions. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At any rate, as Rose Queen wisely stated, you will need to work in an unlicensed, assistive capacity until you possess a license to do otherwise. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are a couple unlicensed positions you could look at, like the previous posters mentioned. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jan 29, 2015 by baw1309 9 Posts; 610 Profile Views RoyalBlue, don't get down! Take a break.... that is what I did after my third attempt! I took a break for 4 months studying off and on. Look for jobs such as PCA or tech positions. They will give you experience in the nursing field. I just took my exam for the 4th time yesterday. Fingers crossed! One of my friends preceptors took her test 6 times before she passed it. I know no one wants to hear that we may have to take it 4 5 6 times but if you truly want to be a nurse and that is your passion, don't give up! The test does not define you or what type of nurse you will be, just remember that. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
