Thanks I have that book somewhere and I will think about using the NCSBN I just so discouraged right now but I will get it together sooner than later I hope.

I used Hurst I don't get it I will wait to get the paper to show the breakdown of where I was struggling. I can't do anything but try again. I have to apply at another state now because I have been out of school for two years. I would have taken it the test earlier but I was diagnosed with breast cancer and now it is remission I want to get back to doing what I love. I will get it I just pray sooner than later.

I took the Hurst review, Saunders, Kaplan strategies, practice, and review, I don't know what else to study and the study guide online I believe I need to practice more question SATA

I fail Nclex RN

Keiannurse04, I found out today that I failed my boards for a third time. I am frustrated, angry, upset, and discouraged, but I know that we all have different roads to travel before we get to where we need to be. I want to stop and say forget it and not go back, but I eventually will get myself together and start studying once and ask God for his guides. I am walk on Faith and that's all I have at this point . Don't you let anyone tell you to walk away because when its all said and done you are going to be an AWESOME NURSE! I can't up lift myself right now but I can do it for you. This too shall pass. Take Care and Never Give Up

Well everyone I received my result and I have failed once again. I don't know what else to do or study. I'm waiting for the paper to see what areas was my worst. I don't know if I want to continue with this journey. I'm so tried and angry and frustrated I don't know what else to do. I know maybe the select all that apply questions got to me but for the most part I felt good. If anyone can help I would love that but I know a lot of you all are busy but thanks anyway

I feel so numb right now. I don't know where to go from here. I have studied everything you can think of to help me pass it seems like nothing is ever going to be good enough. Its sad that one test is keeping me from becoming a Registered Nurse. I'm trying to stop crying to get it together to start studying again. I'm trying to keep it together but its very hard. I know it other people in a similar situation like mines but I feel so alone right now. I really don't know how much more I can take. I feel like I let my family down. I want my kids to be proud of their mother. I just feel like an failure. I sorry I just had to vent for a minute.

Thanks MsNuFayth I really needed to read that. I just get so frustrated about the process and sometimes I wonder why is so easy for some people and so hard for me. I really don't understand am I not equipped to become a Registered Nurse. Do I suppose to stay an LPN for the rest of my life. I love what I do but where I live I have to work two jobs to help take care of my family at least with my RN I can spends some night with my kids helping with homework instead of them staying with my parents all the time because I have to work. But I have to hold on to my Faith that everything will work out for the great good and I will get my RN sooner than later but it is still so hard to grasp that concept.

I'm so afraid to because this is my third time take the test. I really don't want to be disappointed again

I started at 8:00 this morning. I arrived at the testing center at 7:26 and the other testers as well. I start exactly at 8 and I felt in my heart I was doing well things on my review was on the test and things I went over the night before was on the test. I didn't finish until 1. Yes that is right I took all 265 questions so now I don't know what to think. I was the last to start and the last to leave the testing center everyone finish before me and finished within and hour. I feel so horrible right now and I have to wait 48 hours to know my if I passed or failed. Why do I feel so dumb right now?

Congrats!!!!

Its hard for me right now I take the Nclex-RN in about 36 days. This will be my 3rd time taking the test. I hear that the hurst review is good as well as Kaplan and this is why retest takers have passed. I just do not have the financial means to spend that kind of money. I have been doing questions on Saunders and reading the contents. I even looked on youtube tutorials. I am giving my best but I feel like if I'm not able to take one of the reviews I will be taking the test again. I truly want to be able to finally say I passed the Nclex-RN. This is just one obstacle I have to cross. I'm just feeling a little discouraged right now. Anyone else feel like me? The crazy thing is that I was feeling so good about the test. I wasn't memorizing things I have actually figured out why do things happen so I can understand better. I believe I had to vent. I need to get back to studying. Thanks for listening.

The closer the test gets the more nervous I become. This will be my third time take the test. I had to regroup from life situations to get back into the swing of things. I would just like to encourage the people that are about to take the test soon. I just been thinking that I know God didn't bring me this far to fail. I know that my time is coming. I look at all the post that gives me hope and encouragement that soon I will be posting I passed, I am officially an RN. I just want repeat test takers to realize your not alone and you will do this just hold on to your faith and continue to study of course. We all will be to celebrate our great accomplishment. Good Luck

Well the cost is about $20,000 dollars but if you can get a pell grant then it will only cost you $15,000 they offer the the program in may and august. The people there are pretty nice and they really want you to succeed it reminds me of my lpn school erwin they are so excited about people coming to the school. Yes all the clinicals will be out and around the brandon area so thats great for me since i live in valrico. well coadestone let me know if you have anymore question.

Thanks so Much BumblebeeRN wish me luck!!!

I received my acceptance letter for the lpn to rn bridge program that starts on May 10, and I was just wondering if there are some fellow classmates out there. I am so excited to finally start and continue on my journey of become an awesome nurse.

The is based in New Jersey, and their past rate is 92% at there schools in New Jersey. The director got sick while she was visiting her granddaughter and she was so impressed with Brandon Hospital that she decided to open up a school down here. The clinicals are all in the brandon area, Brandon Hospital, Hawthrone retirement village and a couple more places. The cost is $20,000 but if you receive pell grants then its only $10,000 but the best thing is not a waiting list. In this time right now when everyone is going to school for nursing and waiting list are getting long its a blessing for me but you can check out the website www.nursingfl.com and it will give you all the information you need let me know if you have any questions and I will let you know how it goes after I start on May 10.

Thanks for everyone advice but i am glad to say that I got accepted to a lpn to rn program at a new school here in tampa so thanks for the everything and wish me luck I start May 10 so keep me in your prayers.:w00t:

I have been looking into all the schools that offer the lpn to rn program and came across a new school in brandon fl, THE CENTER FOR ALLIED HEALTH AND NURSING EDUCATION, they also have a lpn program. I recently got accepted to the May 2010 class this is the first bridge class and the next class start in August 2010. The reputation is pretty good they are based in New Jersey, it is private but at least you don't have to wait forever to get in a program and the reqs are blended in with a few nursing class just thought I would put that out there for anyone that is looking into starting school sooner than later

I will be finishing up my last two pre reqs this summer and fall and will apply to the transition program. I was just wondering about anyone that applied. How long did it take to get accepted. I am looking into other schools but HCC is closer to my house. Im trying to hurry up and finish I do not want to be waiting forever to get in the program. I graduated from Erwin this past July 09 and now Im waiting to go to summer school and finish A&P II and Micro this fall. So anyone that can help I appreicate it. Someone just told me that now they have a waiting list for the transition program.

Ladies thank you I really don't want to wait on a waiting list for two years to get in a Lpn to rn Bridge program and I can work at my own pace at excelsior and get finish to do a job that I love so thanks for the advance its giving me a lot to think about. I will probably be enrolling at Excelsior pretty soon.:lol2: Anyone else that can give me advance on the college send me a message or just reply thanks

The college network Rep just left my house and was pitching her program to me to go to Excelisor college. I don't know what to do. I have to pre reqs to finish before applying to the lpn to rn bridge program at my local community college. But now people are saying it will be a waiting list for that program too now. I am so confused:confused:. I don't want to go through the program and then the BON don't accept the school. I don't want to live in tampa fl all my life me and my husband is thinking about moving after i finish school to either nashville, dallas, or north carolina. If either of these states don't accept my license then what am I going to do. Someone help me out please the cost is good for me because I have finished most of my general courses. The cost of the whole thing will cost me 4950 dollars thats not bad and Im ready to start working. Since I graduated as a LPN no one will hire without at least 6 to a year experience. Anyone can Help I really appreicate it. Thanks it Advance:crying2::crying2:

I graduated in July 09, I still haven't found a job every job I have applied for wants experience. No one is welling to train. I would like to know how can someone get experience when no one will give you a chance to prove yourself. I don't understand, people do all the work in school to do a job they truly love and no one will give them a opportunity. I have applied for all jobs in hillsborough county and im now about to start in pinellas county even though I stay in Valrico. I was just wondering if some others are having the same problems I am. Thanks for the Feedback in Advance

I graduated LPN Program last July 09 and I haven't been about to find a job. I was trying to work while I finish up my last two pre reqs before i apply to bridge program at the local community college. Since that is not working I just figure to go ahead and and finish my last couple of class. I am looking for a online programs that is accredited all the way around so it will not stop me from getting my BSN down the line. Anyone can help I really appreicated it.

Tomorrow is the big day. I really don't know how to act right now I'm nervous but excited at the same time. I will tell everyone how my day went to give people an idea how everything goes good luck to everyone for the school year and God Bless.
