I'm sorry, I keep screwing this up. She's not an "LPN" or a "PN", she's a VN, trying to get her LVN. I think I got it right this time, lol. Thanks,

Ok, I made a mistake. She's not a LPN, just a PN, trying to get her LVN. Yes, she finished that schooling 4 years ago. Thanks again for any advice,

Hello, I'm doing this for my wife. She is an LPN, finished her schooling 4 years ago. She's worked in Pediatrics ever since. She decided a while back, actually got offered this great job doing Home Health Care, that she needed to get her LVN. She studied for a couple weeks, and I tried to help her as much as I could. We went down to take the test, she failed. She was so depressed and hurt over it. Most of the questions were on subjects she hasn't touched in 4 years. She had heard that most people pass it the first time and was really discouraged that she didn't. It was heartbreaking. To make matters worse, she overheard her nursing supervisor say, "you really have to be stupid to fail the test". I won't tell you what I think of that person, but now what to do? My wife has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met in my life. I'm trying to do everything I can to encourage her, but I'm not a nurse, so here I am. What can she do differently this time? Most of those questions had nothing to do with her field, which like I said has been Pediatrics the last 4 years. Where should she focus, what should she study? Please, any advice would be so much appreciated. Thanks for your time, take care,
